Problem using DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES with dynamic table

Hello All,
In my program i have to delete duplicate records from dynamic table.
I tried using DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM <DYN_TABLE> COMPARING <fieldname1> <fieldname2> but it fails in syntax check, then i tried like below:
DATA string type string.
string = '<fieldname1> <fieldname2>.........'.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM <DYN_TABLE> COMPARING (string).
It also got failed at runtime.
Please suggest how can i achieve this....
Regards
Munish Garg

Hi,
this code is worked truly.
You can try this.
Regards.
DATA itab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF mard.
SELECT * FROM mard INTO TABLE itab UP TO 100 ROWS.
* You define max number of the field that you need
data : cmp01 TYPE string,
cmp02 TYPE string,
cmp03 TYPE string,
cmp04 TYPE string,
cmp05 TYPE string.
* You fill the fields that you need, others is clear.
cmp01 = 'MATNR'.
cmp02 = 'WERKS'.
CLEAR : cmp03,cmp04,cmp05.
SORT itab BY (cmp01) (cmp02) (cmp03) (cmp04) (cmp05).
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab COMPARING (cmp01) (cmp02) (cmp03)
(cmp04) (cmp05).

you can use a function   GET_COMPONENT_LIST to get all the fields' name after the dynamic table generated. then you can use the field name in the statement "DELETE....COMPARE "
     CALL FUNCTION 'GET_COMPONENT_LIST'
         EXPORTING
           program          = SY-REPID
           fieldname        = THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE
         tables
           components       = ITAB
LOOP AT ITAB.
*ASSIGN THE ITAB-COMPNAME TO SOME VARIANTS:FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3.
ENDLOOP.
SORT THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE BY FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM THE_NAME_OF_THE_DYNAMIC_INTERNAL_TABLE COMPARING FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3.

Using: Delete Adjacent Duplicates

Hi,
How can we use Delete Adjacent Duplicates where comparing clause is dynamic.
The the number of comparison characteristics are dependent on some other conditions and are decided at runtime. Also can this be used with Field-Symbols.
Arunava

Hi Arunava,
The following were taken from ABAP key word documentation.
1. The DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES statement works particularly well if you have sorted the internal table itab according to the fields that you want to compare when looking for duplicates. In this case, deleting adjacent duplicates is the same as deleting all duplicates. The direction of the sort is irrelevant.
2. <b>If you do not know a comparison expression until runtime, you can specify it dynamically as the contents of the field name in the expression COMPARING ... (name) .... If name is empty at runtime, the comparison expression is ignored. If name contains an invalid component name, a runtime error occurs.</b>
3. You can further restrict comparison expressions - both static and dynamic - by specifying offset and length.

How to use 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM' for deleting as some field

How to use 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM' for deleting as some field
eg:
I have a inner table ,it contains a field named ast_guid,now,I search ten records,contains some duplicate records in the field of ast_guid.but I can not delete the duplicate records as ast_guid.

If the type of inner table is standard table, you should sort the inner table by the fields before user 'DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES ', and use COMPARING addtion.

Problem using comma separated list with nested table element

Hi,
I have a comma separated list like that:
H23004,H24005,T7231,T8231,T9231And want to create a function which is creating a where clause for each element with an output like that:
UPPER('H23004') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('H23005') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T7231') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T8231') IN (UPPER(charge))
OR UPPER('T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))Here is my test function which doesn't work correctly:
create or replace function FNC_LIST_TO_WHERE_CLAUSE(v_list in VARCHAR2) return varchar2 is
-- declaration of list type
TYPE batch_type IS TABLE OF pr_stamm.charge%TYPE;
-- variable for Batches
v_batch batch_type := batch_type('''' || replace(v_list,',',''',''') || '''');
return_script varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
-- loop as long as there are objects left
FOR i IN v_batch.FIRST .. v_batch.LAST
LOOP
   --DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(offices(i));
   -- create where clause
   IF i = 1 THEN
     return_script := 'UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
   ELSE
     return_script := return_script || ' OR UPPER(' || v_batch(i) || ') IN (UPPER(charge))';
   END IF;
END LOOP;
return (return_script);
end;The out put looks like that:
UPPER('H23004','H24005','T7231','T8231','T9231') IN (UPPER(charge))I have no idea what I do wrong? It calculates the amount of array element wrong! (v_batch.LAST should be 5.)
v_batch.FIRST = 1
v_batch.LAST = 1

Tobias

try this....
declare
text varchar2(1000) := 'H23004,H24005,T7231,T8231,T9231';
v_where varchar2(1000);
begin
text := text||',';
while instr(text,',') <> 0
loop

Problem in delete adjecent duplicates

Hi All,
i have a problem in delete adjacent duplicate in an internal table .
when i use it i want that the records which are getting doubled to be removed
but i also want that if the value in that field is empty for which i am comparing , to be ignored means i dont want the records
to be deleted in which the field value is empty for which i am comparing.
snippet of my code
delete ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM xkomv COMPARING KSCHL.
so if theere is no value in KSCHL THAT RECORD NOT TO BE DELETED .
waiting for your reply..
Thanks in advance

Try the following,
"delete ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM xkomv COMPARING KSCHL.
Before using the above statement do the following,
u201C decalare a temporary table for u2018xkomvu2019 say u2018t_xkomvu2019, and copy the data.
Refresh t_xkomv[].
t_xkomv[] = xkomv[].
Delete t_xkomv where KSCHL <> u2018 u2018.
Delete xkomv where KSCHL = u2018 u2018.
u201C Sort xkomv and then use delete adjacent duplicates.
And after this append data from t_xkomv to xkomv.
Hope it helps you,

sort gt_sagmeld by guid_lclic lgreg ctsty srvll GUID_POBJ GUID_MOBJ.
delete adjacent duplicates from gt_sagmeld comparing guid_lclic lgreg ctsty srvll GUID_POBJ GUID_MOBJ .
now i am confused how to use delete adjacent dupliacate and on which fields
as first table /sal../lclic primary key is guid_lclic
and it is joined to table
legcon by guid_lclci ( not a primary key here)
legcon primary key is guid_legcon
and table 3 legsv by lgreg (pk here)
table 3 has tow more primary key srvll and ctsty also
NOW MY QUESTIO IS TAHT IS I USE ABOVE DELETE ADJACENT STATMENT IT FETCHES 20 LAKH RECORDS
I WANT TO REDUCE IS LET ME KNOW ON WHAT fields i need to use delete adjacen duplicates
or use comparing all fields?
regards
Arora

hi sudha
if u see my select statement is contains four Primary keys
srvll
lgreg
ctsty
guid_lclic
but the next table connected to this table legcon is by guid_pobj and anothe table by guid_mobj
and if i take this gt_sagmeld to another temp table and i find abt 10 lakh uniques guid_pobj
similary 6 lakh guid_mobj so the next slect is hanpering because of this
not COMING TO OUR POINT IF I SORT ONLY BY OUR PRIMARY KEYS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TEH GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ
THE ENTRIES ARE VERY LESS BUT IF I TAKE INOT ACCCOUNT IN GT_SAGMELD THE ENTRIES ARE ABT 20 LAKH
SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER TO TAKNE GUID_POBJ AND GUID_MOBJ INOT ACCOUNT FOR DELECTING ADJACENT DUPLICATES?
HENCE THE QUESTION OF ON WHICH FIRLD DELETE OR COMPARING ALL FIELDS I USE?

Probelm with DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES

Hi Guys!
Here's the scenario, I have this syntax in my report..
delete adjacent duplicates from it_itab comparing matkl sptag+0(6)
The values inside the it_tab is as follows..
20080301|01010402
20080301|02024301
20080305|01010402
20080310|01010402
when I debug it, and used the syntax delete adjacent duplicates from it_itab comparing matkl sptag+0(6),
the output will be like this....
20080301|01010402
20080301|02024301
20080305|01010402
I dont know why this output showed up. I'm expecting do have this output
20080301|01010402
20080301|02024301
Could someone explain why this happened? Is there a problem or loop hole in delete adjacent duplicate?
Please help! thanks so much!
Regards,
Mackoy

hi
do this:
sort it_itab by matkl sptag.
delete adjacent....
delete adjacent will always look for the adjacent entries, and if a dupliacte is found then it deletes the 2nd records.
for ex , u have,
var1
123
123
124
125
123
in this case....2nd record is deleted and the output will be
123
124
125
123 . if it was sorted by var1 and then delete adjacent duplicates was used then it will have unique records.

Extract - Delete Adjacent Duplicates

Hi Experts,
As in internal tables is it possible to delete adjacent duplicate records from an extract ?
Thanks in advance.
Ramesh.

Hi,
Deleting Adjacent Duplicate Entries
To delete adjacent duplicate entries use the following statement:
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATE ENTRIES FROM <itab>
[COMPARING <f1> <f2> ...
|ALL FIELDS].
The system deletes all adjacent duplicate entries from the internal table <itab>. Entries are duplicate if they fulfill one of the following compare criteria:
Without the COMPARING addition, the contents of the key fields of the table must be identical in both lines.
If you use the addition COMPARING <f1> <f2> ... the contents of the specified fields <f1> <f2> ... must be identical in both lines. You can also specify a field <fi> dynamically as
the contents of a field <ni> in the form (<ni>). If <ni> is empty when the statement is executed, it is ignored. You can restrict the search to partial fields by specifying offset and length.
If you use the addition COMPARING ALL FIELDS the contents of all fields of both lines must be identical.
You can use this statement to delete all duplicate entries from an internal table if the table is sorted by the specified compare criterion.
If at least one line is deleted, the system sets SY-SUBRC to 0, otherwise to 4.
Ex.
DATA OFF TYPE I.
DATA: BEGIN OF LINE,
COL1 TYPE I,
COL2 TYPE C,
END OF LINE.
DATA ITAB LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF LINE
WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY COL2.
LINE-COL1 = 1. LINE-COL2 = 'A'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 1. LINE-COL2 = 'A'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 1. LINE-COL2 = 'B'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 2. LINE-COL2 = 'B'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 3. LINE-COL2 = 'B'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 4. LINE-COL2 = 'B'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
LINE-COL1 = 5. LINE-COL2 = 'A'. APPEND LINE TO ITAB.
OFF = 0. PERFORM LIST.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB COMPARING ALL FIELDS.
OFF = 14. PERFORM LIST.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB COMPARING COL1.
OFF = 28. PERFORM LIST.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB.
OFF = 42. PERFORM LIST.
FORM LIST.
SKIP TO LINE 3.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO LINE.
WRITE: AT /OFF LINE-COL1, LINE-COL2.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

Regarding SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES AND DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES

Hi,
i got few doubts.....
    1) Is it necessary to DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES when we perform a SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES ? because for all entries itself eliminates the duplicate entries?
   2) Wat Sy-subrc returns after a SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement?
   I found some code where these are used
           SORT ITAB[] BY NEWKO[].
          DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FORM ITAB[].
SELECT buknr
               kunnr
FORM KNB1
    into table ITAB_KNB1
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ITAB
    where kunnr eq itab-newko.
Regards.
Maehsh.

Hi Mahesh,
To be more specific, first you should delete "adjacent duplicates" using the sorting key ( here : NEWKO ), if Itab contains other fields.
SORT ITAB[] BY NEWKO[].
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FORM ITAB COMPARING NEWKO.
You can delete or not the duplicates, but, you must know that if you don't delete them in the Itab, you will retrieve them in the ITAB_KNB1.
Concerning the return code, it works like for the "SELECT" ( 0 = entries found / 4 = no entrie found )
=> One more thing, it's better check :
Check not ITab[] is initial
because, if the Itab is empty, you'll retrieve all the record of KNB1 !
Hope this helps,
Erwan.

Delete adjacent duplicates

hi,
SORT itab ASCENDING BY xxx.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab COMPARING xx.
1)can i do in a loop as i need to throw in error file for those repeated record.
2)the itab without header record is ok rite? our standard is not to use occurs but to define another working area. our standard is loop itab into wa
thanks

Hi,
You can solve your prob using below code:
DATA: ind(1), p_val like itab-field1.
SORT itab ASCENDING field1.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
CLEAR: p_val, ind.
ON CHANGE OF field1.
p_val = itab-field1.
ind = 'X'.
ENDON.
IF itab-field1 = p_val AND NOT ind IS INITIAL.
DELETE itab INDEX sy-tabix.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Thanks.

Having problems using ion tape express with itunes cannot find the song on hard drive

Having problems using ION tape express with itunes. The song is on hard drive as temp1 not the name of the song. And I have problems playing it in itunes
because it says it cannot locate the song'

Then correct the name of the song or point iTunes to the new file.
Issues with restoring should be directed to the manufacturer of the backup software/device... this is not an Apple or iTunes issue.

Problem with Dynamic Table Name

Hello all,
I am having trouble using a dynamic table name. I have the following code.....
declare l_cur sys_refcursor;
l_ID int;
l_tableName varchar(30);
BEGIN
open l_cur for
select hkc.ColumnID, mapping from &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..doctablemapping ddm
inner join &HKDB_Schema_Name..HKColumns hkc on hkc.doctablemappingid = ddm.id
where ddm.id > 0;
LOOP
     FETCH l_cur into l_ID, l_tableName;
     EXIT WHEN l_cur%notfound;
     -- update missing VerbID in DocumentDocMapping table
     UPDATE &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..IndexedDocument
     SET VerbID = (SELECT t.VerbID
                         FROM (SELECT DocRef, VerbID, DateUpdated
                              FROM &HKAPPDB_Schema_Name..l_tableName dd        - this is where the dynamic table name is used
                              WHERE dd.VerbID is not NULL))
     WHERE HKColumnID = l_ID AND VerbID is NULL;
END loop;
end;
/When I try to execute this i get an error
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
What am I doing wrong?

but thats what you get when a company throws you in at the deep end with a ridiculous time constraint to migrate a whole MSSQL DB.Migrating SQL-Server to Oracle is not a simple thing. A lot of best practices in SQL-Server are absolutely worse practices in Oracle - they are that different. Simple example is lock escalation - an issue in SQL-Server. In Oracle, the concept of a lock being escalated into a page lock simply does not exist.
In terms of getting the migration done as quickly and painlessly as possible I try to reuse all the logic as it appears in the MSSQL code - in this case it was using dynamic table names. I do not doubt that i am probably shooting myself in the foot in the long run.....As long as you do not splatter too much blood on us here.. not a problem :D
Seriously though - just keep in mind that what works in SQL-Server may not work as well (or even at all) in Oracle. So do not hesitate to refactor (from design to code to SQL) mercilessly when you think it is warranted.
