I want to how to write program to design for archived data?

Question

Hi,
In my project already some z reports are there. Now some old data is archiving from the tables.
I want read the data for the z reports . i  used below code to read the data by passing the archive document key to read the data.
But the below code is reading entire data due to that it is taking lot of time.
Please give some suggestions weather am i gong in right way or not?.
LOOP AT it_arcindx1 INTO wa_arcindx1.
    v_key = wa_arcindx1-archivekey+0(6).
    CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ'
      EXPORTING
        archive_document = v_key
        object           = 'MM_EKKO'
      IMPORTING
        archive_handle   = lv_handle
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS           = 1.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'I' NUMBER sy-msgno
              WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    DO.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_OBJECT'
        EXPORTING
          archive_handle = lv_handle
        EXCEPTIONS
          end_of_file    = 1.          "nur die Ausnahmen, auf die man
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.                "wirklich reagieren will
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE'
        EXPORTING
          archive_handle        = lv_handle
          record_structure      = 'EKBE'
          all_records_of_object = 'X'
        TABLES
          table                 = git_ekbe_temp
        EXCEPTIONS
          end_of_object         = 0.
      LOOP AT git_ekbe_temp ASSIGNING <ls_ekbe>
                             WHERE mandt = sy-mandt
                             AND vgabe = '8'
                             AND budat IN s_budat.
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING <ls_ekbe> TO waa_table1.
        APPEND waa_table1 TO it_table1.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDDO.
    CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE'
      EXPORTING
        archive_handle = lv_handle.
    CLEAR wa_arcindx1.
  ENDLOOP.

Hi Maruthi,
Try using 'ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD' instead of 'ARCHIVE_GET_TABLE' using which you can maintain no. of records hit by the handle.
Have a look at sample logic given in SCN.

Hope this helps.
