Hi , check the following code..
data:begin of it_data occurs 0,
    matnr(18),
    end of it_data.
data: int type i.
it_data-matnr = '123444'.
append it_data.
it_data-matnr = '1234567890abcdefr'.
append it_data.
it_data-matnr = '1234567890abcdefty'.
append it_data.
it_data-matnr = 'asdhgk'.
append it_data.

Internal table delete

Hi,
What would be the best way to delete the records from an internal table. I am not using the primary key here.
I need to delete the records from the internal table which does not match the input parameter given.
For example:
I have some records in an internal table. I need to delete the records whcih does not match the condition.
I have around 85000 records in my internal table I_iflot. The primary key here is TPLNR in IFLOT table. But I am deleting the records based on some other field which is the input parameter OBJNR. Pls see below statement and let me know how exactly we can do this. As i am doing the deletion other than the primary key its taking hell lot time to excute the single statement.
SORT i_iflot BY tplnr.
Delete i_iflot where objnr not in r_objnr.
This statement is taking much time as this is not the primary key. But i need t delete with this cndition nly.
Any solution for this...
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
      What are you trying to delete -
       a)Device Location
       b) Connection Object. Refer the possible values
         for FLTYP.
You can add FLTYP (Functional location category) in the where condition and delete from IFLOT.
   You can also select TPLNR based on OBJNR entered in the parameter before deletion statement.
Hope this helps.

How to delete data from dynamic internal table

Hi,
I have dynamic internal table and I have some slection screen fields , using these selection screen fields
(select -options), I have to filter the data? assigning will work with READ , but I have select options not the parametre,
and also delete will not work for dynamic table..
as we cannot use assigning with delete..
So how to do this?
and one more thing is , I cannot filter the data while selection( in select, I cannot filter the data-> as it's not coming directly from table, it's coming from buffer),
so now after selection of data, I need to filter the data from dynamic table.
Is there any way to do this?

Hi Naren,
First get the index number of the IT_data table and store it in one variable whose declaration like this.
data: tabix type sy-tabix.
while reading the internal table it_data set the tabix variable.
tabix = sy-tabix.
Instead of the above use below one.
Delete it_data-objek
Use the Below statement it will delete the row from the internal table.
Delete it_data-objek index tabix
Thanks,

How to delete records from dynamic internal table.

Hi Experts,
Need urgent help!!!
Issue is with Dynamic internal tables.
Below is code written by me :
FORM select_query USING Lw_tabnam
                  TYPE t682i-kotabnr.
DATA : lw_line TYPE REF TO data,
          lw_line1 TYPE REF TO data.
    CREATE DATA Lw_line    TYPE (lw_TABNAM).
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO   <WA_tbl>.
    CREATE DATA LW_LINE    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF (Lw_tabnam)
                           WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
    ASSIGN      Lw_line->* TO <TBL>.
    SELECT * FROM (Lw_tabnam)
             INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <TBL>
             WHERE (t_keys).
Endform.
code is working fine.
here even the table name and where condition are dynamic,everything is fine upto this point.
Now i have to delete some record from <TBL> based on some conditons.
     for ex : ( here lc_fieldname is KUNNR)
      loop at t_kunnr.
          lw_tabix = sy-tabix.
        Read table <tbl>
                with key (lc_fieldname) = t_kunnr-kunnr ASSIGNING <wa_tbl>.
        If sy-subrc = 0.
        *Delete
        delete <tbl> from <wa_tbl>
delete <tbl> index lw_tabix.
        Endif.
     Endloop.
The above delete statement doesn't work ,even we can't use index as it gives a syntax error " something related to "index is not allowed in standard table or hash table.
Can you help me ab't how to delete records in Dynamic internal table?
Other option that i am thinking of is to create a static table of type dynamic table.
means, data itab type standard table of <tbl> .I know the syntax is wrong ,however is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance ,
If you have any suggestion ab't this then do let me know.
bye,
Gaurav.

How to delete space in an internal table

Hi All,
In internal table I want to compress the leading space
After searching I found Condense and SHIFT LEFT DELETE leading space commands work it is written...
but when I write code A single space is appreaing in between the two fields...can any body help me where I am going wrong??
Ex:

end of itab.
now o/p BEFORE CHANGE IS :
SBI-CT |1023
After condense is SBI-CT |1023

S1 TYPE STRING,
END OF STRING.
loop at itab.
concatenate itab-f1 itab-f2 into string-s1 seperated by '|'.
append string.
end of itab.

Delete Duplicates from internal table with object references

Hi
How can I delete duplicates from an internal table in ABAP OO based on the value of one of the attributes?
I have created a method, with the following code:
LOOP AT me->business_document_lines INTO l_add_line.
    CREATE OBJECT ot_line_owner
      EXPORTING
        i_user      = l_add_line->add_line_data-line_owner
        i_busdoc = me->business_document_id.
      APPEND ot_line_owner TO e_line_owners.
ENDLOOP.
e_line_owners are defined as a table containing only object references.
One of the attribute of the object in the table is called USER. And I would like to do a "delete ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM e_line_owners", based on that attribute.
How can do this?
Regards,
Morten Nielsen

Hello Morten
Assuming that the instance attribute is <b>public </b>you could try to use the following coding:
SORT e_line_owners BY table_line->user.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM e_line_owners
    COMPARING table_line->user.
However, I am not really sure (cannot test myself) whether <b>TABLE_LINE</b> can be used together with SORT and DELETE.
Alternative solution:
DATA:
     ld_idx    TYPE sy-tabix.
LOOP AT e_line_owners INTO ls_line.
    ld_idx = syst-tabix + 1.
    LOOP AT e_line_owners TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS FROM ld_idx
                   WHERE ( table_line->user = ls_line->user ).
      DELETE e_line_owners INDEX syst-tabix.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.

How to delete a field from a Dynamically created internal table

Hi friends,
I have got a requirement in which, I will be entering the table name and Excel file from seletion-screen.
based on the Table I have entered in the selection-screen I need to create a dynamic internal table so that I can fill that Execel data into that internal table and later i using BDC i can I can fill the database table using SM30 transaction.
here. my problem is that, When I am creating internal table dynamically, MANDT filed is also getting created in the internal table.
please, help in deleteing the filed MANDT from the internal able.
following is the code which creates the dynamic internal table.
CREATE DATA dy_table TYPE TABLE OF (p_tabname).
assign dy_table->* to <dyn_table>.
please provide, if any sample code is available.
Regards,
Xavier.P

Hi,
You can use this logic,
While creating the Dynamic filed catalog try to avoid MANDT field.
Ex:
*Dynamic creation of a structure
CREATE DATA LP_STRUCT TYPE (V_TABLE).
ASSIGN LP_STRUCT->* TO <FS>.
*Fields Structure
OF_SDESCR ?= CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( <FS> ).
LOOP AT OF_SDESCR->COMPONENTS ASSIGNING <COMPONENTS>.
*Field MANDT not displayed
    IF SY-TABIX = 1 AND <COMPONENTS>-NAME = 'MANDT'.
      CONTINUE. " Next loop
    ENDIF.
*Build Fieldcatalog
    LS_LVC_CAT-FIELDNAME = <COMPONENTS>-NAME.
    LS_LVC_CAT-REF_TABLE = V_TABLE.
    APPEND LS_LVC_CAT TO LT_LVC_CAT.
    CLEAR LS_LVC_CAT.
ENDLOOP.
