Hi martin,
i think insted of it_*** (internal table) we have to use work area. please make sure conform this one.
i am giving my logic wat i have written and my requirement also...
The process to update material master data status is described in 'xxxxx' Mark and Release Cost Estimates and BAPu201D.
u2022     As a result of releasing a standard cost, certain master data elements need to be updated by the Cost accountant in order to enable further activities within SAP.
u2022     All material codes for which Cost Accounting has released a new standard cost, need to have their Material Status indicators changed from 02 (reviewed) to 03 (released).  This removes the system blocks on certain activities within SAP like purchasing, production and Sales.  The status will be needed to change in two views of the Material Master. 
u2022     The u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field on the Basic Data 1 view
u2022     The u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field on the Costing 1 view
This update should be automated
Select materials for which a price change document was posted based on selection parameters.
Select price change documents for company code defined in selection screen since last run date
u2022     Reference procedure = PRCHG (MLHD-AWTYP)
u2022     Entered on MLHD-CPUDT u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Entered at MLHD-CPUTM u2013 verify against last run date to include in selection
u2022     Store last run date and time by company code, so that it can be picked up in the next run. (store in table TVARVC?)
Select only the documents of plants which belong to the company code in table MLIT. The link between company code and plant can be found in table T001K.
u2022     Valuation area = Plant MLIT-BWKEY
u2022     Create a list of all materials MLIT-MATNR
The next 2 updates should happen independently;
u2022     Update the u201CPlant-sp. matl statusu201C field (MARC-MMSTA) on all plant views belonging to the company on the Costing 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current plant material status is 02
u2022     This action must be done on all plants belonging to the company code
u2022     Update the u201CX-plant matl statusu201D field (MARA-MSTAE) on the Basic Data 1 view to status 3 with as prerequisite;
u2022     The current X-plant material status is 02.
in pt_final1 i get the data corresponing to given tables.
LOOP AT PT_FINAL1 INTO GS_FINAL1.
