SAP Query - Count(*)

Question

Hi,
i have a table with records
abc
abc
def
fgt
def
abc
fgt
abc
def
jkh
i want the SAP query to display as
abc - 4
def - 3
jkh - 1
fgt - 2
when i wrote a query ( select count(*) ) in infoset and added an additional field count, it is giving me the right count but it is repeated as many times as the record, like below
abc 4
abc 4
abc 4
abc 4
def 3
def 3
def 3
jkh 1
fgt 2
fgt 2
Can you please tell me how to avoid this multiple lines?

Hi,
I think LTAP is a field group and not an internal table...
You can create your own internal table in the DATA section...and add the entries during the RECORD_PROCESSING event..
Ex..
****DATA Section
TYPES: BEGIN OF type_data,
               value TYPE char10,
             END OF type_data.
DATA: MY_ITAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF type_data,
           MY_WA   TYPE type_data.
****In RECORD_PROCESSING section.
READ TABLE MY_ITAB TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS
                     WITH KEY value = LTAP-value.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  CHECK 1 = 0.        " Don't proceed with the record as it is already added.
ELSE.   " REcord not added.
  MY_WA-value = LTAP-value.
  APPEND MY_WA TO MY_ITAB.
ENDIF.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks
