How to collect adjacent duplicates ?

Hi,
duplicte values can be deleted using 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES'. But how to collect the field values that are duplicated into another internal table.

Hi Sharmila,
       You can use the statement 'FIND IN TABLE itab ' for your purpose. Have a look at following code.
Ex:
TYPES:
BEGIN OF ty_itab,
         name TYPE char10,
         id    TYPE numc5,
       END OF ty_itab.
DATA:
itab     TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_itab,
      itab2    TYPE match_result_tab,
      itab3    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_itab,
      wa_itab TYPE ty_itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test'.
wa_itab-id   = 1.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test'.
wa_itab-id   = 1.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test'.
wa_itab-id   = 1.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test2'.
wa_itab-id   = 2.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test2'.
wa_itab-id   = 2.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test3'.
wa_itab-id   = 3.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
wa_itab-name = 'Test4'.
wa_itab-id   = 4.
APPEND wa_itab TO itab.
CLEAR wa_itab.
SORT itab.
Logic
LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
AT NEW id.
    FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF wa_itab
    IN TABLE itab
    RESPECTING CASE
    RESULTS itab2.
    DESCRIBE TABLE itab2 LINES v_count.
    v_count = v_count - 1.
    IF NOT v_count IS INITIAL.
      DO v_count TIMES.
        APPEND wa_itab TO itab3.
      ENDDO.
    ENDIF.
    CLEAR: wa_itab.
ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
But you have to keep in mind that..the field which is used along with AT NEW statement should be
last one in your internal table so that it checks all the components left of that field for duplicates.
If you want any more help, you can get back to me.

Delete adjacent duplicates how to use in the below select statement

hi i have a problem
i am suing the below select statement
SELECT    a~extno
          a~guid_lclic       " for next select
          e~ctsim
          e~ctsex
*revised spec 3rd
          f~guid_pobj
          f~amnt_flt
          f~amcur
          f~guid_mobj
          e~srvll     "pk
          e~ctsty     "PK
          e~lgreg "PK
INTO TABLE gt_sagmeld
FROM /SAPSLL/LCLIC as a
INNER JOIN /sapsll/tlegsv as e on elgreg = algreg
inner join /sapsll/legcon as f on fguid_lclic = aguid_lclic   " for ccngn1 selection
inner join /sapsll/corcts as g on gguid_pobj = fguid_pobj
                           where   a~extno in s_extno.
sort gt_sagmeld by guid_lclic lgreg ctsty srvll GUID_POBJ GUID_MOBJ.
delete adjacent duplicates from gt_sagmeld comparing guid_lclic lgreg ctsty srvll GUID_POBJ GUID_MOBJ .
now i am confused how to use delete adjacent dupliacate and on which fields
as first table /sal../lclic primary key is guid_lclic
and it is joined to table
legcon by guid_lclci ( not a primary key here)
legcon primary key is guid_legcon
and table 3 legsv by lgreg (pk here)
table 3 has tow more primary key srvll and ctsty also
NOW MY QUESTIO IS TAHT IS I USE ABOVE DELETE ADJACENT STATMENT IT FETCHES 20 LAKH RECORDS
I WANT TO REDUCE IS LET ME KNOW ON WHAT fields i need to use delete adjacen duplicates
or use comparing all fields?
regards
Arora

hi sudha
if u see my select statement is contains four Primary keys
srvll
lgreg
ctsty
guid_lclic
but the next table connected to this table legcon is by guid_pobj and anothe table by guid_mobj
and if i take this gt_sagmeld to another temp table and i find abt 10 lakh uniques guid_pobj
similary 6 lakh guid_mobj so the next slect is hanpering because of this
not COMING TO OUR POINT IF I SORT ONLY BY OUR PRIMARY KEYS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TEH GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ
THE ENTRIES ARE VERY LESS BUT IF I TAKE INOT ACCCOUNT IN GT_SAGMELD THE ENTRIES ARE ABT 20 LAKH
SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER TO TAKNE GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ INOT ACCOUNT FOR DELECTING ADJACENT DUPLICATES?
HENCE THE QUESTION OF ON WHICH FIRLD DELETE OR COMPARING ALL FIELDS I USE?

How to use 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM' for deleting as some field

How to use 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM' for deleting as some field
eg:
I have a inner table ,it contains a field named ast_guid,now,I search ten records,contains some duplicate records in the field of ast_guid.but I can not delete the duplicate records as ast_guid.

If the type of inner table is standard table, you should sort the inner table by the fields before user 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES ', and use COMPARING addtion.

How to find out duplicate record contained in a flat file

Hi Experts,
For my project I have written a program for flat file upload.
Requirement 1
In the flat file there may be some duplicate record like:
Field1   Field2
11        test1
11        test2
12        test3
13        test4
Field1 is primary key.
Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
Requirement 2
The flat file contains the header row as shown above
Field1   Field2
How our program can skip this record and start reading / inserting records from row no 2 ie
11        test1
onwards.
Thanks

Can you please let me know how I can find out the duplicate record.
you need to split the records from flat file structure into your internal table ans use a delete ADJACENT duplicates comparing fields
split flat_str into wa_f1 wa_f2 wa_f2 at tab_space.

Problem using DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES with dynamic table

Hello All,
In my program i have to delete duplicate records from dynamic table.
I tried using DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM <DYN_TABLE> COMPARING <fieldname1> <fieldname2> but it fails in syntax check, then i tried like below:
DATA string type string.
string = '<fieldname1> <fieldname2>.........'.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM <DYN_TABLE> COMPARING (string).
It also got failed at runtime.
Please suggest how can i achieve this....
Regards
Munish Garg

Hi,
this code is worked truly.
You can try this.
Regards.
DATA itab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF mard.
SELECT * FROM mard INTO TABLE itab UP TO 100 ROWS.
* You define max number of the field that you need
data : cmp01 TYPE string,
cmp02 TYPE string,
cmp03 TYPE string,
cmp04 TYPE string,
cmp05 TYPE string.
* You fill the fields that you need, others is clear.
cmp01 = 'MATNR'.
cmp02 = 'WERKS'.
CLEAR : cmp03,cmp04,cmp05.
SORT itab BY (cmp01) (cmp02) (cmp03) (cmp04) (cmp05).
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab COMPARING (cmp01) (cmp02) (cmp03)
(cmp04) (cmp05).

Using: Delete Adjacent Duplicates

Hi,
How can we use Delete Adjacent Duplicates where comparing clause is dynamic.
The the number of comparison characteristics are dependent on some other conditions and are decided at runtime. Also can this be used with Field-Symbols.
Arunava

Hi Arunava,
The following were taken from ABAP key word documentation.
1. The DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES statement works particularly well if you have sorted the internal table itab according to the fields that you want to compare when looking for duplicates. In this case, deleting adjacent duplicates is the same as deleting all duplicates. The direction of the sort is irrelevant.
2. <b>If you do not know a comparison expression until runtime, you can specify it dynamically as the contents of the field name in the expression COMPARING ... (name) .... If name is empty at runtime, the comparison expression is ignored. If name contains an invalid component name, a runtime error occurs.</b>
3. You can further restrict comparison expressions - both static and dynamic - by specifying offset and length.
Regards
Raja

you can use a function   GET_COMPONENT_LIST to get all the fields' name after the dynamic table generated. then you can use the field name in the statement "DELETE....COMPARE "
     CALL FUNCTION 'GET_COMPONENT_LIST'
         EXPORTING
           program          = SY-REPID
           fieldname        = THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE
         tables
           components       = ITAB
LOOP AT ITAB.
*ASSIGN THE ITAB-COMPNAME TO SOME VARIANTS:FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3.
ENDLOOP.
SORT THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE BY FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE COMPARING FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3.

Copy ADJACENT DUPLICATES

Hi All,
How to copy the duplicates from sorted internal table values into other internal table.
Thanks,
Venkat

Please see the following example. this program pulls out records only when they have a duplicate entry in the table. In this case, the record with GHI will be outputed.
report zrich_0001.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      f1 type c,
      f2 type c,
      f3 type c,
      end of itab.
data: begin of itabx occurs 0,
      f1 type c,
      f2 type c,
      f3 type c,
      end of itabx.
data: begin of itabo occurs 0,
      f1 type c,
      f2 type c,
      f3 type c,
      end of itabo.
data: counter type i.
itab = 'ABC'. append itab.
itab = 'DEF'. append itab.
itab = 'GHI'. append itab.
itab = '123'. append itab.
itab = '456'. append itab.
itab = '789'. append itab.
itab = 'GHI'. append itab.
itabx[] = itab[].
sort itabx ascending.
sort itab ascending.
delete adjacent duplicates from itab.
loop at itab.
clear counter.
loop at itabx where f1 = itab-f1
                  and f2 = itab-f2
                  and f3 = itab-f3.
    counter = counter + 1.
endloop.
if counter > 1.
    move itab to itabo.
    append itabo.
endif.
endloop.
* Output the record that had a duplicate entry
loop at itabo.
write:/ itabo.
endloop.

How to avoid the duplicate values, I do not want the duplicate............

i have one database table called "sms1" that table is updated every day or on daily basis it has the following fields in it:
SQL> desc sms1;
Name Null? Type
MOBILE NUMBER
RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INDATE DATE
From this table the is one column "RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER VARCHAR2(39 CHAR)" . I am splitting it into different columns like :
SQL> desc smssplit;
Name Null? Type
R VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
C VARCHAR2(2 CHAR)
S VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)
TC VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA2 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA3 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
TC4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
NA4 VARCHAR2(3 CHAR)
WTHER VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)
SNO NUMBER
INSERTDATA VARCHAR2(25 CHAR)
Now I am written a procedure to insert the data from "Sms1" table to smssplit table...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SPLITSMS
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO scott.SMSSPLIT ( R,C,S,TC,NA,TC2,NA2,TC3,NA3,TC4,NA4,WTHER,SNO)
SELECT SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,1,2) R,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,3,2) C,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,5,1) S,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,6,3) TC,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,9,3) NA,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,12,3) TC2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,15,3) NA2,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,18,3) TC3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,21,3) NA3,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,24,3) TC4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,27,3) NA4,
SUBSTR(RCSTCNATCNATCNATCNAWTHER,30,10) WTHER, SNO
FROM scott.SMS1 where SNO=(select MAX (sno) from SMS1);
END;
Now in order to update the second table with data from first table on regular basis I have written a job scheduler and I am using oracle 9.0. version...
DECLARE
X NUMBER;
JobNumber NUMBER;
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT
job => X
,what => 'scott.SPLITSMS;'
,next_date => SYSDATE+1/1440
,interval => 'SYSDATE+1/1440 '
,no_parse => FALSE
:JobNumber := to_char(X);
END;
Now this job scheduler is working properly and updating the data for every one minute but it is taking or updating the duplicate values also ..like example:
R C S TC NA TC2 NA2 TC3 NA3 TC4 NA4 WTHER SNO

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist?!

How do you delete duplicate tracks off your playlist - everytime I connect my hard-drive it adds another of every single track - argh!!!!
I remember there being a 'delete duplicate tracks' option on a much older version of itunes - is this still available and if not if you opt for the 'consolidate library' option will this automatically save to you computer as I have too much music for my laptops memory capacity! On top of that how can I stop this issue from contantly re-occuring everytime I connect my hard-drive?! Apologies if im being thick here.... xX*laura*Xx

You are doing something wrong, iTunes doesn't add tracks to the library unless you ask it to, so there is a problem somewhere in your workflow which is creating the duplicates. For example, having iTunes set up to "Copy files to the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" and then repeatedly adding in a folder from an external drive would do it.
Once you've worked out how to stop creating new duplicates you can look at the issue of deduping what you already have. See this recent post for some thoughts and a script that may prove useful.

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually??

How do you delete duplicate songs in your library without having to delete each song individually?

Go to iTunes, select view and click show duplicates. Hold control and A ( select all) and then delete.
Not a good idea! The "show duplicates" feature shows "all" duplicate tracks, but you only want to delete the "extra" copies, not the "originals".
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background, including how to delete the extra tracks manually if you prefer.

How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

Greetings!
After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing. It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.
You could provide Apple with feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

Gregor
