Answer 1

suppose ur table has three fields like
types : begin of typ_emp,
             num type i ,
             name type char20 ,
             salary type char10 ,
           end of typ_emp.
data : it_emp type table of typ_emp ,
         it1_emp TYPE TABLE OF typ_emp ,
        wa_emp type typ_emp .
DATA : count TYPE i ,
           w_salary type i .
code is
SORT it_emp BY salary ASCENDING .
it1_emp = it_emp .
Take the all data to another table and delete all adjacent duplicates .
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_emp COMPARING salary .
   READ TABLE IT_EMP INTO WA_EMP INDEX 3.
MOVE  WA_EMP-SALARY TO W_SALARY .
now the third highest salary will come into w_salary .
and now again process your internal table and retrieve whose salary is equal to w_salary ...
thanks
reward if helpfull..............
