Latest posting date from table MKPF

Question

hi all,
I want to retrive the latest posting date from table MKPF. Here I am using the MARD,MSEG,MKPF tables to get the latest posting date.
if not it_mard[] is initial.
select amblnr amjahr amatnr awerks algort bbudat
  into table it_mseg_mkpf
   from mseg as a mkpf as b
   on amblnr = bmblnr
  and amjahr = bmjahr
  for all entries in it_mard
  where a~matnr = it_mard-matnr
  and    a~werks = it_mard-werks
  and   a~lgort   = it_mard-lgort.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
sort it_mseg_mkpg decending by matnr werks lgort budat.
endif.
loop at it_mard.
clear it_mkpf_mseg.
read table it_mseg_mkpf with key matnr = it_mard-matnr
                                                  werks  = it_mard=werks
                                                  lgort    = it_mard-lgort
                                                  binary search.
     if sy-subrc eq 0.
     it_final-budat = it_mseg_mkpf-budat.
     endif.
endloop.
from the above code  i need to rereive the latest posting date    , but when I am reading from internal table it is giving the sy-subrc is 4.  i know when we use binary search , the standard table should be ascedning order. but here I need to use descedning order.
please hhelp i this.
regards,
Ajay

Hi,
1. Check Storage location (LGORT) value available in the internal
    table it_mseg_mkpf. Some case no value.
2. Remove the binary search after u try again. Like below.
loop at it_mard.
clear it_mkpf_mseg.
read table it_mseg_mkpf with key matnr = it_mard-matnr
                                                  werks = it_mard=werks
                                                   lgort  = it_mard-lgort.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
it_final-budat = it_mseg_mkpf-budat.
endif.
endloop.
3. sort it_mseg_mkpg DESCENDING BY budat matnr werks lgort.
4. For all material (it_mard) may be or may not be there in the MSEG table.
    So for some case SY-SUBRC = 4  will give.
Thanks,
