Non zero values in the extraction of the planning area

Question

In our DP implementation we have been trying to extract 2 key figures  from the planning area, one of the key figures might have zero values, when we set the indicator for the non zero values then it only eliminates the records for which both the key figure are zero but that is not what I want. I am trying to have a setting in the data source where we can reject the records even if one of the key figure has zero values.
Are there any settings for that while we are generating the data source.
Thanks in advance

Hi Colin,
This can be easily solved using a slightly different ABAP routine. You can assign the fields that you need to check into other field symbols and then check the value of those field symbols.
Here's one possible solution. I based in from the ABAP code you posted.
field-symbols: <LS_EXTR_BLOCK> TYPE any,
                     <ls_fcst> type any,
                     <ls_hist> type any.
data: w_pos type sy-tabix.
loop at ct_data assigning <LS_EXTR_BLOCK>.
w_pos = sy-tabix.
assign component '/BI0/9AVCORFCST'
   of STRUCTURE <LS_EXTR_BLOCK> to <ls_fcst>.
assign component '/BI0/9AVCORHIST'
   of STRUCTURE <LS_EXTR_BLOCK> to <ls_hist>.
if <ls_fcst> = 0 and <ls_hist> = 0.
  delete ct_data index w_pos.
endif.
endloop.
Aside from the solution above, you can also define the structure of CT_DATA (that's basically the structure of the extract structure of your datasource). You can then assign the contents of CT_DATA to a field-symbol and the delete data using that field symbol.
Here's an example:
TYPES:
TY_DATA_TABLE type table of *PUT THE NAME OF YOUR EXTRACT STRUCTURE HERE*.
field-symbols:
<FS_DATA_TABLE> type TY_DATA_TABLE.
DELETE <FS_DATA_TABLE> WHERE /bi0/9avcorfcst = 0
and /bi0/9avcorhist = 0.
You can check the name of the extract structure by viewing table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX field EXPORT_STRU. You can also see the name of the extract structure in debug mode by looking at the value of the parameter IV_DDIC_REFERENCE.
Hope this helps
