preeti,
This is definitely the correct answer. SAP online help says:
<i>You can use control level statements to react to control breaks in internal tables instead of programming them yourself with logical expressions. Within the loop, you must order the AT-ENDAT statement blocks according to the hierarchy of the control levels. If the internal table has the columns <f1>, <f 2>, ...., and if it is sorted by these columns, you must program the loop as follows:

<i><b>You should not use control level statements in loops where the line selection is restricted by WHERE or FROM and TO. Neither should the table be modified during the loop.
