Sort table by field position?

Hello,
Is it possible to sort a table by field position? For example, I have table ITAB with a 4 character field F1. I want to sort the table first by the 3rd position ( itab-f12(1) ) ascending then the 4th position ( itab-f13(1) ) descending.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
f1(4),
end of itab.
itab-f1 = '01AC'.
append itab.
itab-f1 = '02AB'.
append itab.
itab-f1 = '01CD'.
append itab.
itab-f1 = '02CA'.
append itab.
sort itab...
I thought about using TRANSLATE with a rule and converting each position to a numeric value (then transfer the value to a new 'sort' field), but I wasn't sure if there was an easier way.
The sorted table should read: '01AC' ; '02AB' ; '01CD' ; '02CA'
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Please try this.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
        F1(4),
      END OF ITAB.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB2 OCCURS 0,
        F1(1),
        F2(1),
        F3(4),
      END OF ITAB2.
ITAB-F1 = '01AC'.
APPEND ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = '02AB'.
APPEND ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = '01CD'.
APPEND ITAB.
ITAB-F1 = '02CA'.
APPEND ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB.
ITAB2-F1 = ITAB-F1+2(1).
ITAB2-F2 = ITAB-F1+3(1).
ITAB2-F3 = ITAB-F1.
APPEND ITAB2.
ENDLOOP.
SORT ITAB2 BY F1 ASCENDING
              F2 DESCENDING.
LOOP AT ITAB2.
WRITE: / ITAB2-F3.
ENDLOOP.

MDMP : Language assignmet Table RFDT Field Position 0

Hello Team,
During the Language assignmet we have notice that there are few Tables are identified in Field Position 0.
For example : In SPUM4 Vocabulary Table RFDT have words.
For the words in Table RFDT are identified in Filed 0 .
I would like to know how to proceed with the words having Filed 0 in Hint Management.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
RFDT is an INDX type table. I assume the words you are referring to are caused by the content of the CLUSTD field.
Looking at the structure of the table, I am unable to find an appropriate field for a hint (however maybe someone with more application knowledge might have a different opinion).
If there is no hint possible (and all other automatic assignment do not work), it is necessary to do a manual assignment.

What is needed for sorting on two fields in a table control

Hi Everybody
I am going to certification in a couple of days. I need some help and was hopeing that you guys could help.
What is needed for sorting on two fields in a table control?
     One sorted table and two processing blocks
     Two standard tables and one processing blocks
     Two standard tables and two processing
Which one is corret??
//Script

Hi Kimallan
I am not sure what is meant by a "processing block". However, it seems the question wants the original table order to be preserved. If so; as far as I understood the problem we need:
itab_proxy[] = itab_main[] .
"two standard tables"
SORT itab_proxy BY field1 field2 .
If we have a sorted table, then it is always sorted by its keys. So, the question seems to become obsolete for that option.
Hope I've understood correct...

Sorted Table - tabix issue

All,
I have the following code While executing system is pointing to sy-tabix, but the data I am getting in the READ statement is from last record in the internal table
report z_9699_30.
tables : eket.
types : begin of ty_eket.
        include structure eket.
types: end of ty_eket.
data: wa_eket                 type ty_eket.
data: it_eket                 like sorted table of wa_eket
                              with unique key primary_key
                              components ebeln ebelp etenr
                              with non-unique sorted key secondary_key
                              components ebeln ebelp.
parameters: p_ebeln like eket-ebeln.
parameters: p_ebelp like eket-ebelp.
select * from eket into table it_eket
      where ebeln eq p_ebeln.
      read table it_eket into wa_eket with table key secondary_key
               components ebeln = p_ebeln
                          ebelp = p_ebelp.
Please copy and execute this by giving EBELN and EBELP from EKET
Please make sure while selecting from EKET please select data of multiple records available for same EBELP ie llike
Here below PO # 4500000003 and for Item # 00030 is have multiple records
Here in selection screen by giving PO # as 4500000003 (EBELN) Item # as 00030 (EBELP) , then in the above READ statement system giving SY-TABIX as 3 but if you see the WA_EKET-ETENR is showing 2 instead of 1. This is where is the issue is
EBELN
EBELP
ETENR
Header 4
4500000003
00010
1
4500000003
00020
1
4500000003
00030
1
4500000003
00030
2

Now execute some
MOVE sy_tabix TO lv_index.
READ TABLE it_eket INTO wa_eket
      INDEX lv_index USING KEY secondary_key.
BREAK-POINT.
READ TABLE it_eket INTO wa_eket
      INDEX lv_index USING KEY primary_key.
BREAK-POINT.
and conclude yourself on the meaning of life index with two different keys defined...
Regards,
Raymond
PS: Reference in online help for sy-tabix now
Note that the sy-tabix system field is populated by the assigned secondary index, if sorted secondary keys are used. If this value is used for the subsequent index access to the internal table, the same table index must be explicitly used here. If used implicitly, the value would be interpreted as a primary index.

Short Dump While Changing Non-KeyField of Sorted Table

Hello,
A short dump occurs while trying to change a field of a sorted table item passed as CHANGING parameter. Are non-key fields in a sorted structure protected? The error message does not explicitely say so. Can anyone link to documentation explaining this behavior?
best regards,
JNN

You are passing by reference with CHANGING.
It looks like read-only stuff can't be passed to method CHANGING.
When I pass a literal or constant, there is a syntax error.
System could have given you a syntax error instead of dump.
Have a look at this snippet. Both method calls throw syntax error.

Dynamic Creation of Data Tables and Fields

Hello all. I am currently working with a system that contains a bunch of windows. These windows are divided into two groups that represent their presentation style: Columns (such as a table) and Free (such as in a form). I created two tables in database to describe each and every window. These tables describe the type of presentation style, the fields of each window (title of the field, size of the field, position in window, and many more...)
I did this to make the creation of the windows more effective. In this way that I have, I only have to make one window to display all the thousands of windows that I have in my database because the values of presentation are taken from the description in the tables.
I was able to do this through TextFields and JTables in Swing. But now I run into JSC. Is this possible with JSC? Say in case the presentation style of the window is Column, can I tell the data table to go read the description of the window that needs to be opened to obtain the amount of columns, the column names, the size of each column... then create the tables and present the values?
Or say the presentation style is Free... I need to go find how many fields need to be created and their positions in the form, and then the titles of each field. Any ideas how this can be performed?
Thank you.

Creator won't help you with the graphical design, but it's definitely possible to dynamically compose the set of components that are children of a particular component. Doing so leverages the basic component APIs of JSF (javax.faces.component.UIComponent), so you'll want to grab yourself a copy of the JSF Javadocs (or use Creator's lookup facilities as you type your code) to understand what's possible.
The most important detail is that all components have a getChildren() method that returns a java.util.List of the child components for that component (as well as a getParent() to get the parent component). Any manipulation you do on this returned list is reflected in the structure of the overal component tree.
As a simple example, assume you want to add an input text component as a child of the form. You'd do something like this:
HtmlInputText input = new HtmlInputText();
input.setXxx(..); // Set properties as needed
form1.getChildren().add(input); // add new childCraig McClanahan

I want to change the infotype 0002 field position(first name & lasname)

Dear Freinds,
I have requirement where i have to change the positions of the first name and last name , as pe standard we will see is
the lastname under that field we will se the first name . As per the user he wanted first name and then last name . I have read in sap help that it says the table T522N is the place. But before using i wanted to can i change or is there any method where i can do.
i have changed the name2 as middle name by going to cmod and changing the text label. Here it dint asked me any access key.
similary for chaning the position of the two fields can i do so please let me know if any body has done this.
regards
divya.

Hi Divya,
You can't change the position of the fields in standard SAP screens - PA30/20.
This would be repair and you need to get access key to change the 2000 screen of module pool MP000200.
T522N is used to change the name format in reports, etc. (Firstname Lastname or Lastname Firstname) It has nothing to do with the field positions in the screen of PA20/30.

Collections.sort() - sort on multiple fields?

I have a collection of objects in a List that I need to be able to sort on each field individually. For example, the data in the List is eventually displayed on a table in a web page. The user is able to click on a column header and the table is to be refreshed with the list contents sorted by that column (asc/desc).
I would rather not re-query the DB for this list (it's pretty static and already saved in memory). So if I use the Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator() { ...} ) method, is it possible for me to pass the field/direction of the sort into the Comparator? Or, do I have to define individual Comparators for every field that the user can sort by and surround it all by an ugly switch statement?

Honestly I think that a re-query to the DB is the best approach. Remember that any decent DB engine will cache queries so it will really only have to re-perform the sort algorithm.
Commercial databases are very fast and almost never the source of a performance bottleneck.
I realize this isn't the answer you want, but in my experience it is the best solution, if you really can't stand to re-query then as mentioned creating your own comparator is the way to go.

Sort table of objects by object attribute

Hi all,
I would like to write method for sorting table of objects. Sorting will be according selected attribute of object.
My problem is that when I have dynamic data, I'm not able to access attributes of object. Here is example in code. Problematic lines are commented.
If you have any idea how to solve it, I will be very happy.

Sorting a varchar2 field in Report 10g

Dear all,
i have a table of salaries, which have a field RANK_NO VARACHAR2.
I create a report and order it by RANK_NO. but it is not ordering what i want to be. it is ordered like
1
10
11
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
then i use the order by cluase like this,
ORDER BY TO_NUMBER(REGEXP_SUBSTR(RANK_NO,'[0-9]+')),
REGEXP_SUBSTR(UPPER(RANK_NO),'[A-Z]+').
but the result is same .
how to sort a varchar2 field in reports?
Thanks & Regards

Hi Muhammad,
Use the following Order By clause hope it helps you,
ORDER BY TO_NUMBER (REPLACE (RANK_NO, LTRIM (RANK_NO, '0123456789'))), RANK_NO

Text data source for the field Position(PLANS)

Hi Experts,
I have an infoobject ZPOSITION which i am using in a cube for this i can able to display key values but i want to display text for this ZPOSITION. The source for this field is Position(PLANS) which i have tacken from pa0001 table.
I have an another infoobject 0HRPOSITION for this i have already loaded data using data source 0HRPOSITION_TEXT.
Is there any other text datasources for this field Position(PLANS)?
And
Is it possible to load data from one info object to another info object?
Regards,
Sridhar.K

Hi Sridhar,
Check out in the infotype PA0001 for the check table for this field. In this table you will have the description for the field PLANS (Position).
I request you to catch hold of functional HR team member to know where the text value for the Position (PLANS) is stored. You can get the info from them immeadiatly.
After knowing the table where the text values for Position (PLANS) are stored, you have to create a text datasource using RSO2 transaction and replicate in BW and load data from the R/3 table.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Saravanan.

Can't we use Binary SEARCH for TYPE SORTED TABLE?(Performance Improvement)

Hi Expert!
                   I have declare a sorted type table with NON -UNIQUE, and want to use Binary search in read statement. But while using bunary search in read statement I'm facing an error. The ERROR is
"Table LI_MARC is a SORTED TABLE or INDEX TABLE. The BINARY SEARCH
addition is only allowed for these tables if the key specified is an
initial part of the table key."
Please find detail
TYES: tt_marc TYPE SORTED TABLE OF marc   WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY matnr,werks.
DATA: li_marc type tt_marc.
READ TABLE li_marc INTO marc WITH KEY matnr = i_mbew-matnr
                                                                      werks = i_mbew-bwkey BINARY SEARCH .
To my understanding , there is no need to mention Bianry Search for sorted table TYPE. Please let me know can i use ?

Hello,
there is no need to mention Bianry Search for sorted table TYPE.
Yes, this is because for SORTED TABLEs binary search algorithm is used by default for READ TABLE. Although you can use BINARY SEARCH addition but it's use is redundant.
As for your case you've defined the KEY fields incorrectly There shouldn't be any "comma(s)" between the fields.
TYPES: tt_marc TYPE SORTED TABLE OF marc WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY matnr werks.
When you define it with commas
TYPES: tt_marc TYPE SORTED TABLE OF marc WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY matnr, werks.
the result is something like this:
TYPES: tt_marc TYPE SORTED TABLE OF marc WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY matnr.
TYPES: werks.
Hence you were getting the syntax error!
BR,
Suhas
PS: As for MARC you can use UNIQUE KEY addition because MATNR & WERKS are the key fields in the table.

Memory and performance when copying a sorted table to a standard table

Hello,
As you all probably know, it's not possible to use a sorted table as a tables parameter of a function module, but sometimes you want to use a sorted table in your function module for performance reasons, and at the end of the function module, you just copy it to a standard table to return to the calling program.
The problem with this is that at that moment, the contents of the table is in memory twice, which could result in the well known STORAGE_PARAMETERS_WRONG_SET runtime exception.
I've been looking for ways to do this without using an excessive amount of memory and still being performant. I tried four methods, all have their advantages and disadvantages, so I was hoping someone here could help me come up with the best way to do this. Both memory and performance are an issue.
Requirements :
- Memory usage must be as low as possible
- Performance must be as high as possible
- Method must work on all SAP versions from 4.6c and up
So far I have tried 3 methods.
I included a test report to this message, the output of this on my dev system is :
Test report for memory usage of copying tables
table1[] = table2[]
Memory :    192,751 Kb
Runtime:    436,842
Loop using workarea (with delete from original table)
Memory :    196,797 Kb
Runtime: 1,312,839
Loop using field symbol (with delete from original table)
Memory :    196,766 Kb
Runtime: 1,295,009
The code of the program :
I had some problems pasting the code here, so it can be found at [http://pastebin.com/f5e2848b5|http://pastebin.com/f5e2848b5]
Thanks in advance for the help.

I've had another idea:
Create a RFC function like this (replace SOLI_TAB with your table types):
FUNCTION Z_COPY_TABLE .
*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(IT_IN) TYPE SOLI_TAB
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(ET_OUT) TYPE SOLI_TAB
et_out[] = it_in[].
ENDFUNCTION.
and then try something like this in your program:
DATA: gd_copy_done TYPE c LENGTH 1.
DATA: gt_one TYPE soli_tab.
DATA: gt_two TYPE soli_tab.
PERFORM move_tables.
FORM move_tables.
CLEAR gd_copy_done.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_COPY_TABLE'
    STARTING NEW TASK 'ztest'
    PERFORMING copy_done ON END OF TASK
    EXPORTING
      it_in = gt_one[].
CLEAR gt_one[].
WAIT UNTIL gd_copy_done IS NOT INITIAL.
ENDFORM.
FORM copy_done USING ld_task TYPE clike.
RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION 'Z_COPY_TABLE'
   IMPORTING
     et_out        = gt_two[].
gd_copy_done = 'X'.
ENDFORM.
Maybe this is a little bit faster than the Memory-Export?

Reading a sorted table in Sequence

Hi,
   I have a sorted table and want to read it in a sequence.
Say for example:
Table: sort by secondary key field2, non unique
Field1      Field2
10             100
20             100
30             100
Now, when i read the table with the secondray key, field2, I wnat that it should always return the data in same sequence i. e. 100, 200, 300
But currently when the sequence is not maintained liek it can be 100, 200, 300 or 200, 100, 300
Is it posisble that I get the same sequence every time.
Thanks & Regards,
Rupali Ray

Hi,
When you sort the table sort that table using the two fields that to in ascending order..
this will make the internal table records in sequence like
field1         field2
10            100
20            100
30             100
10             200
20             200
30              200
Now whilw reading the table using the key 2 as 100 or 200 the value of field1 will be in sequence as desired.
ie....             field1          field2
                    10              100
                     20             100
                    30               100
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Rohan.
