Internal table max records

Dear all,
a very simple question. What is the maximum of records during runtime in an internal table.
kind regards
Wolfgang

An internal table can contain max of 2GB data with it.
But by applying some patches this limit can increase upto 4 GBs.
You can get information about it on https://service.sap.com

Internal table maximum records when occurs 0

hi experts,
i am using the internal table upload data,
at a time it can hold only 10000 recods only ?
how can i capture more than this.
thanks&regards,
srinivas

Try this way.
Create a structure with TYPES statement,
Create internal Table & work area with DATA statement.
Eg:-
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_itab,
                field1 TYPE mara-matnr,
                field2 TYPE mara-mtart,
              END OF ty_itab.
DATA : it_itab TYPE TABLE OF ty_itab,
            wa_itab TYPE ty_itab.
Now fill the records into that internal table.
When you want to read use
LOOP AT it_ita INTO wa_itab.
ENDLOOP.

Internal table - move record to first record in table

How can a move a record already in an internal table to the first record in the table? There is no appropriate sort that would make it the first record.

Assuming the record is in the header:
delete itab.
insert itab index 1.
That should be - assuming sy-index already points to the record you want to move.

External table max record length check

This question is regarding fixed length input file.
I am checking to see if it is possible to add a check to verify the max length of a record when defining an external table.
For example, if I am expecting a fixed length file with max record/row length of 100, is it possible to reject lines in the
file that are more than 100 characters long?
Thanks.

What you can do is something like:
DROP TABLE TBL_EXT
CREATE TABLE TBL_EXT(
                     VAL       VARCHAR2(4),
                     INDICATOR VARCHAR2(1)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL(
                        TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

Internal table to XLS to email

Hi,
A lot of postings here and on other SAP communities are talking about email and attachment issues. But a proper answer to my problem i haven't found yet.
Problem : i'm having an internal table (with text, amount, currencies, dates, so different formats) and i want to send it as a 'real' excel file (not as tab delimited or csv file, but as real excel with the correct formats) to an email receiver. The columns with amount and currencies should work correctly after opening the file in Excel.
The main problem is to convert the internal table to an binary internal table (max record length 255) of type excel. By the way, i also need it in background.
I don't know if the MIME format is binary, but a convert from internal table to MIME (corresponding to the excel attachment) is also possible ?
regards,
Hans

Sorry for the late answer.
You don't need a WAS java stack to run a java programm on your server.
Follow these steps:
1) Install a java runtime environment (jre) on the filesystem of your server (take care of rights for executing)
2) Write a java programm on your pc, that uses an excel library mentioned before. It should get a source filename as parameter. Deploy it to your server. Write a batch command to execute the program like this "java your_program your_parameter"
3) Extract your tabulary data from within abap and write it to a csv - file (comma separated value) on your server
4) Send an event from within abap (uh oh)
5) On event, call a batch command from within your server OS and run the java program with the filename you created before (uh oh).
As you can see, it's is not easy to do that, but it should work. In my opinion, it is a very ugly way to solve the problem.
I don't know, if abap supports a SPAWN routine like C or C++. This could be an easier way to call a program on your server from within abap.
On a WAS 640 there is a java stack if you to install it. There you can implement a java based utility service (servlet) that converts your data to excel.
Another opinion: Use another j2ee servlet server (i.e. apache tomcat, works fine, no license fee). You can install it on your sap server or on another maschine.
Good luck and kind regards,
Andreas

Division of internal table records

Dear all
How can I observe that how many record my internal table got record and how can I divide into by lines
for ex.
          SELECT SINGLE pvprs FROM ckmlcr INTO sum_pvprs-pvprs
            WHERE poper EQ s_poper AND
               kalnr = itab2-kalnr AND
               bdatj = itab2-bdatj AND
               curtp = itab2-curtp.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            APPEND sum_pvprs.
I want to get arithmetic range of this sum_pvprs-pvprs
Actually I want to get number of lines and their summations
pvprs1= 10 pvprs=20 pvprs=30 and then
after I got this results 102030 = 60 /3 =20 I need this operation.
All the best
Message was edited by: yusuf tunay çilesiz

I am not sure what do you mean by arithmetic range...if you mean min and max numbers you can use the below logic.
SELECT SINGLE pvprs FROM ckmlcr INTO sum_pvprs-pvprs
WHERE poper EQ s_poper AND
kalnr = itab2-kalnr AND
bdatj = itab2-bdatj AND
curtp = itab2-curtp.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
APPEND sum_pvprs.
1. you can simply sort the sum_pvprs internal table...on pvprs first ascending and than descending to get the min and max numbers by reading the first record of the internal table.
REad table sum_pvprs index 1.
2. you can have two variables lmin and lmax and initialise the same before you append statement.
if sum_pvprs-pvprs > lmax.
lmax = sum_pvprs-pvprs.
endif.
if sum_pvprs-pvprs < lmin.
lmin = sum_pvprs-pvprs.
endif.
<u><b>Sum and Average.</b></u>
SELECT SINGLE pvprs FROM ckmlcr INTO sum_pvprs-pvprs
WHERE poper EQ s_poper AND
kalnr = itab2-kalnr AND
bdatj = itab2-bdatj AND
curtp = itab2-curtp.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
<b>l_sum = sum_pvprs-pvprs + l_sum.</b>
APPEND sum_pvprs.
ENDSELECT.
<b>DESCRIBE TABLE sum_pvprs LINES lrec.
lavg = l_sum / lrec.</b>

Store the vital info from the absence quota record in an internal table

Hi experts,
I want to detrmine if the Absence records (PA2001 rec) deduction from date (PA2001-BEGDA) and absence to date (PA2001-ENDDA) are permissible for the validity period of the Absence Quota record (the PA2006 rec). If the quotas deduction from date, PA2006-DESTA, is greater than the PA2001-BEGDA, we then need to identify this absence quota record for change and change the deduction from date, PA2006-DESTA, to be the same as PA2001-BEGDA. Store the vital info from the absence quota record in an internal table and record the new date that the deduction from date that needs to be changed to. The changes will be made via a BDC session.
Please help me out...
Thanks,
Vicky

This looks possible if we code it in 'dynamic action' table, but the BDC may not read it during run time.
Do you still have this issue?
Thanks

Internal table record checking (Urgent)

Hi Experts,
I have an internal table having records. I want to check each record of the table with every other record to find out if there exist same record for more then one key field.
Can anybody help me to place the logic for how i can check the records with each record? Like
lifnr     banks
1         12
2         34
3         12
4         12
5          76
I want to find out 1,3 and 4.
Thanks a ton in advance

Hi Moni,
IF in my First Reply the Second technique was working then this should solve your Problem:
DATA:
w_index TYPE i,
w_lines TYPE i,
w_duplicate(10) TYPE c.
DESCRIBE itab LINES w_lines.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
w_index = sy-tabix + 1.
DO.
READ TABLE itab INTO wa1 INDEX w_index.
    IF w_index <= w_lines.
      IF wa-banks EQ wa1-banks.
        CONCATENATE w_duplicate wa1-lifnr INTO w_duplicate SEPARATED BY SPACE.
        wa-duplicate = w_duplicate.
        MODIFY itab FROM wa.
      ENDIF.
    ELSE.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
   ADD 1 TO w_index.
ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
write:
    / wa-lifnr,
      wa-banks,
      wa-duplicates.
ENDLOOP.
ELSE try the below code it is same as above except one more Internal Table is used:
DATA:
w_index        TYPE i,
w_lines        TYPE i,
jtab            LIKE itab,
w_duplicate(10) TYPE c.
DESCRIBE itab LINES w_lines.

Set operations on Internal tables.

Hi,
Last week i had to enhance a program that has a internal table with some records. I need to find populate a table with the records in the internal table. But before populating i must find out the difference in the records (i.e) the extra records in the internal table compared with the records in the database table and then i have to append those records in the internal table again and then insert the internal table records into database table. while doing it i need to create another internal table with records in database table and then loop at it to find the extra records and rest of the logic goes on.
At this point of time it clicked in my mind "WHY DON'T WE HAVE SET OPERATIONS ON TWO INTERNAL TABELS(UNION, INTERSECTION, MINUS)".
Now i am doing some study how to implemnt it. Before that i want to find out whether that functionality exists in ABAP or anybody of youo gurus have done similar work on it.
Pls help me in proceeding with my work.

Hi Arul,
There is no special aided SET operations upon internal tables in ABAP. Concerning your particular task I would say that you can try INSERT statement for each record in your internal table without preliminary comparing them with DB table. If there is a record in DB table with the same key then sy-subrc after INSERT will be non zero (actually 4) and no real insert would occur. So, only those records would be inserted which have no counterpart in DB table.
Best regards, Sergei

What is the exact format for the to send the Excel File.
My requirement is the Excel file contains the several fields , that should be stored as a records in the internal table
My problem is when i send the data in the excel file as one column, i'm getting all the data in the first column of the Internal Table.
If i send the data in the excel file as a record it is not filling the internal table.
what is the problem??/
if the Excel files contain multiple records is it able to convert the data into internal table records.

Adi.

Compare 2 internal tables

Hi all,
I have 2 internal tables containing records from 2 different database tables.
How can i compare the 2 internal tables and produce result that the record exists in one table
but not in the second table.
Thanks,
Reddy.

Re: Comparing Internal Tables
loop at table1.
read table table2 where pmkey = pmkey2.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
delete table1.
ENDIF.
endloop.
The above code removes the data from new table...

Internal table max records
