READ TABLE bdcmsg WITH KEY msgtyp = 'E' msgtyp = 'A'.

In the ECC6.0 system,the following code is showing syntax error (msgtyp should be used only once)
READ TABLE bdcmsg WITH KEY msgtyp = 'E' msgtyp = 'A'.
Can anyone pls give me a solution.
Regards
Sajid

HI,
you can read the table only with different keys.
e.g.
READ TABLE bdcmsg WITH KEY msgtyp = 'E' msgart = 'A'.
I think you need to work with an workingarea so that you can go over more then one msgtyp.
e.g.
DATA: spfli_tab TYPE SORTED TABLE OF spfli
                WITH UNIQUE KEY carrid connid,
      spfli_key LIKE LINE OF spfli_tab.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <spfli> TYPE spfli.
SELECT *
       FROM spfli
       INTO TABLE spfli_tab
       WHERE carrid = 'LH'.
spfli_key-carrid = 'LH'.
spfli_key-connid = '0400'.
READ TABLE spfli_tab FROM spfli_key ASSIGNING <spfli>.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
ENDIF.

Read Table ITAB with key Dynamic Value = Value

Here is sample Intenral table
Columnname-C01 / C02 / C03
Value-123 / 456 /789
I would like to search value of the internal table according to dynamic value given by the code.
i.e.
read table ITAB with key <Dynamic Value> index 1.

Hi Rupesh,
Just try the following piece of code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF str,
        A TYPE C,
        B TYPE I,
        C(2) TYPE C,
       END OF STR.
DATA itab TYPE TABLE OF str WITH HEADER LINE.
itab-A = 'X'.
itab-B = '100'.
itab-C = 'YZ'.
APPEND itab.
PERFORM c_itab_read USING 'A' 'X'.
PERFORM c_itab_read USING 'B' '100'.
PERFORM c_itab_read USING 'C' 'YZ'.
FORM c_itab_read USING key TYPE ANY val TYPE ANY.
READ TABLE itab WITH KEY (KEY) = val.
IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
    WRITE: 'Hurray!'.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
Hope this helps.

Read Table ITAB with key Dynamic Value index 1

Hi,
Apart from read, you can also use <b>SEARCH</b> statement.
Syntax
SEARCH
Searches for strings.
Syntax
SEARCH <f>|<itab> FOR <g> [ABBREVIATED]
                          [STARTING AT <n1>]
                          [ENDING AT <n2>]
                          [AND MARK]
                          [IN BYTE MODE|IN CHARACTER MODE].
Searches the field <f> or table <itab> for the string in the field <g>. The result is stored in SY-FDPOS. The additions let you hide intermediate characters, search from and to a particular position, and convert the found string into uppercase. In Unicode programs, you must specify whether the statement is a character or byte operation, using the IN BYTE MODE or IN CHARACTER MODE (default) additions.
Hope this information is useful to you.

Read table itab with key

Hi,
Unfortunately i've been almost a year out of abap,so its kinda rusty, so pls bear with my question. I've to develop this upload program, which would read from file, but the catchy part is that to filter out the records by either pernr, bukrs, subty or any of the criteria simultaneously. I'm using select-options for pernr, subty, bukrs, but the problem is how do i filter it out, what sort of logic/ algorithm should i be using, READ TABLE itab WITH KEY or a LOOP statement, could any 1 give any suggestions as to how i should be designing the logic. please advise

Hi
You want to upload data from a file on the basis of some criteria.
In this case I think you need to upload all the data from the file to an internal table.
Now the internal table contains all the data from the file.
then filter the data from that table on the basis of PERNR, BUKRS or SUBTY.
Like Below:
delete ITAB where PERNR not in S_PERNR (S_PERNR is your select option).
similarly for SUBTY or BUKRS.
Or if you want all these 3 fields together then use OR condition.
Like:
delete ITAB where PERNR not in S_PERNR OR
delete ITAB where PERNR not in S_SUBTY OR
delete ITAB where PERNR not in S_BUKRS.
the above code will delete all the data from ITAB where the data doesn't match with the entries in S_PERNR, S_SUBTY and S_BUKRS.
I hope this will work for you,
If you didn't get it then post your code.
Thanks
LG

What is the difference between READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY and TABLE KEY

Hi Experts,
what is the difference between
READ TABLE <ITAB> WITH KEY <K1> = <C1>
<Kn> = <Cn> .
and
READ TABLE <ITAB> WITH TABLE KEY <K1> = <C1>
<Kn> = <Cn> .
Thanks
Akash.

Hi akashdeep,
Nice question. I also tried to find out, but no much success. My opinion is that for practical purposes there is no difference.
It may have difference in case of searching, especially sorted tables. (binary search or normal linear search).
Case1: If our table is sorted table with defined key fields, and we give WITH TABLE KEY, then faster binary search is used.
Case2 : If our table is sorted table with defined key fields, and we give WITH KEY, (and no field contained in the keys), then normal linear search is used.

Error in reading table TFK056A with interest key

While posting interest I am getting the following error "Error in reading table TFK056A with interest key". I have configured my interest keys well. Please assist.

Hi Panashesean,
The reason for this error could be you have in the line items an interest key (ikey) which is missing in table TFK056A. Though you have a different interest key in the master record the system will consider the line item first.
Interest Key Documentation states:
"If more than one interest key is defined for a line item, these interest keys are normally prioritized as follows:
1. Interest key in line item
2. Interest key that is defined for transactions identified as additional receivables
An interest can depend on the operative company code in the rule for
additional receivables.
3. Interest key in dunning level
4. Interest key in contract account master record"
You need to remove the interest key in the line item for the system to use the master record ikey OR or define (ikey) in table TFK056A.
I hope this works.
regards,
David

Read table field with getString()

public String[] getExportSParams(JCO.Function function, String structure,
               String[]tablefield) {
          JCO.ParameterList export = function.getExportParameterList();
          JCO.Structure structures = export.getStructure(structure);
          String[] exportField = null;
          for (int i =0; i<tablefield.length;i++){
               exportField<i> = structures.getString(tablefield<i>);
          return exportField;

Bit confusing.
Assuming that what ever you had given in your question is exactly the "copy paste" from your code...
?Both "tableField" and "exportField" are arrays right. Why are you using those variables directly in places where you are supposed to use a "String".
?You are trying to put some string into exportField (which is an array) which is not yet initialized.
Can you try this out -
/* I guess, you are trying to extract the content of the structure into an array of strings and send it back */
public String[] getExportSParams(JCO.Function function, String structure,
String[]tablefield) {
JCO.ParameterList export = function.getExportParameterList();
JCO.Structure structures = export.getStructure(structure);
String[] exportField = null;
if(tablefield!=null && tablefield.length>0)
        exportField=new String[tablefield.length];
        for (int i =0; i<tablefield.length;i++){
        exportField<i> = structures.getString(tablefield<i>);
return exportField;

Read table with key doubt

Hi guys!
Please, what can i do when i use the
Read table xxxx WITH KEY tab_key = value ASSIGNING <fs>
statement and there is more than one entry with the specified selection criteria? How can i return the values to an internal table?
I need to get all the entries and i don't have the full table key.
thanks!

Hi Fabio,
An efficient way to do this is to have your table sorted by a specific key. Let's say I have a table with the feild material number.
You can do this:
data: lv_index like sy-tabix.
sort itab by material_number.
ready table itab with key material_number = yournumber
binary search.
if sy-subrc eq 0.
move sy-tabix to lv_index. " this holds the index of your first material record
now we loop at the table start at that index
loop at itab index lv_index.
perform your processing
if we come accross a different material number - exit the loop.
if itab-material_number ne yournumber.
exit.
endif.
endloop.
endif.
This way you only processes the records you are looking for.
thanks.

Question about reading generic tables with keys

    READ TABLE <lt_data_bi> WITH KEY key = <lv_key>
    ASSIGNING <ls_data_bi> BINARY SEARCH.
I receive the message: "The specified type has no structure and therefore no component called KEY" in the read statement above.
Does anyone has an idea what I can do here?

In your structure ls_data_bi there is no field called KEY . please check whether you have field KEY in structure

How to assigne multiple value in key of read table

Hi gurus,
I want read table xxxx with key field1 = ' xxx' or field1 = 'yyy'.
how to assign multiple value as key for the same field while reading internal table.
Regards
sagar

Hi ,
You can loop the internal table like
loop at <table xxxx> where field1 = ' xxx' or field1 = 'yyy'
or you can write two read statements to read the internal table in wrk area.
read table <table xxxx> with key field1 = ' xxx'.
if sy-subrc <>0
read table <table xxxx> with key field1 = 'yyy'.
if sy-subrc = 0
endif.
else.
do your data processing.
endif.

Read statement with key syntax

Hi all,
In read statement, is there a possibility to use 'contains string (CS)' instead of '=' in with key?
I have a requirement to fetch from an internal table, the record whose field1 value contains a particular string.
Thanks,
David.

HI
it won't accept CS in read table clause. syntax error will be displayed.
for more clarity just execute the falloing code.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
        MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,
        ERSDA LIKE MARA-ERSDA,
        ERNAM LIKE MARA-ERNAM,
      END OF ITAB.
   SELECT MATNR
          ERSDA
          ERNAM
          FROM MARA
          INTO TABLE ITAB
          WHERE ERNAM = 'BOHNSTEDT'.
   IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
     SORT ITAB BY MATNR ASCENDING.
     READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY MATNR CS '3'.
     IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
      WRITE: ITAB.
     ENDIF.

Read table with syntax error

I would like to have this in my report in ABAP 7:
          READ TABLE ti_prococolos WITH KEY
                               protocol = lc_protocol
                               status    = 'abc'
                               status    = 'ced'.
But I receive the following error, when verifying the syntax:
Key field "STATUS" has been used more than once. This is not allowed .
How can I solve this?
Thanks!

The READ statement is used to read a specific row of the internal table, in this case it appears that you are saying that you want a record if the STATUS is either abc or def. You can't do that with the READ. You would need to use the LOOP.
Loop at ti_prococolos where protocol = lc_protocal
                                    and ( status = 'abc' or status = 'ced' ).
* do what ever here, and EXIT after since you only want one row.
EXIT.
endloop.

Read Statement with key

Hi,
How can I modify this Read statement as Read with same

                                     BINARY SEARCH.

Hi,
You are trying to use read statement inorder to fetch a single record isn't it? if you are trying to search for a record having either
WERKS = 'BR10' or WERKS = 'BR20' then you need to modify your code.
i.e. as below
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
matnr LIKE marc-matnr,
werks LIKE marc-werks,
steuc LIKE marc-steuc,
END OF itab.
wgc_werk = 'BR10'.
wgc_werk1 ='BR20'.
READ TABLE itab WITH KEY matnr = it_mvke-matnr
werks = wgc_werk.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
   READ TABLE itab WITH KEY matnr = it_mvke-matnr
                                               werks = wgc_werk1.
   if sy-subrc eq 0.
      "your post reading process here
   endif.
endif.
BINARY SEARCH.
