How to use aggregate function on internal table

hi experts,
I am beginner in abap.I want to use sum function on internal table.
I have structure as follow:
types: begin of ty_ftab,
       docno TYPE bkpf-belnr,
       comcode TYPE bkpf-bukrs,
       year TYPE bkpf-gjahr,
       line_itm type bsad-buzei,
       cust type bsad-kunnr,
       amt type bsad-dmbtr,
end of ty_ftab.
data: it_ftab type table of ty_ftab,
           wa_ftab type ty_ftab.
i fetched data successfully into it_ftab from bkpf and bsad table and displyed into alv.
now i want sum of amt using group by cust and want to display like
cust        total_amt
in next screen...
displying part is not important but how can i do sum of amt according to cust value? Is there in way to query on internal table?

Hi,
try this code,
data : i_sort TYPE TABLE OF slis_sortinfo_alv
w_sort like LINE OF i_sort.
sort it_ftab by cust.
w_sort-subtot = 'X'.
w_sort-fieldname = 'AMT'.
w_sort-tabname = 'it_ftab'.
APPEND w_sort to i_sort.
In fieldcatalog :
w_fcat-fieldname = 'AMT'.
w_fcat-tabname = 'it_ftab'.
w_fcat-do_sum = 'X'.
In REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY FUNCTION MODULE provide the it_sort.

Use secondary index in internal tables.

what are the uses of secondary index in internal table?

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eb47446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
Creating Secondary Indexes
Proceed as follows to create a secondary index on a table:
In the field maintenance screen for the table, choose Goto --> Indexes.
1. If you went to the field maintenance screen of the table in display mode, only correct the index (and not the table).
If indexes already exist on the table, a list of these indexes is displayed. Choose Create. A dialog box appears in which you must enter the three-place index identifier. If there are no indexes, go directly to the dialog box.
2. Enter the index identifier and choose Continue.
You will go to the maintenance screen for indexes.
3. Enter an explanatory short text in the field Short text.
Choose TabFields.
4. A list of all the fields of the table is displayed.
5. Select the fields which you want to copy to the index.
6. Choose Copy.
The selected fields are copied to the index.
7. If the values in the index fields already uniquely identify each record of the table, select Unique index.
A unique index is automatically created on the database during activation because a unique index also has a functional meaning (prevents double entries of the index fields).
8. If it is not a unique index, leave Non-unique index selected. In this case you can use the corresponding radio buttons to define whether the index should be created automatically on the database for all database systems, for selected database systems or for no database system.
9. If you chose For selected database systems, you must specify these systems.
You have two possibilities here:
List of inclusions: The index is only created automatically during activation for the database systems specified in the list. The index is not created on the database for the other database systems.
List of exclusions: The index is not created automatically on the database during activation for the specified database systems. The index is automatically created on the database for the other database systems.
Click on the arrow symbol behind the radio buttons. A dialog box appears in which you can define up to 4 database systems. Use the corresponding radio buttons to decide whether this list should be treated as a list of inclusions or exclusions.
10. Activate the index with Index ® Activate. The activation log tells you about the flow of the activation. Call it with Utilities ® Act.log. If an error occurred when activating the secondary index, you will automatically go to this log.
The secondary index is automatically created on the database during activation if the corresponding table has already been created there and index creation was not excluded for the database system.

Copying internal tables

If I want to copy full contents of one internal table itab1 to another itab2, what is the best method?
I see,
Loop at itab1.
Append itab1 to itab2.
clear itab1.
endloop.
is ok. Is there any other simpler method using assigning etc?
Thanks.

hi Nuren,
1. One way is
itab2[] = itab1[].
2. The other way is
Loop at itab1.
move-corresponding itab1 to itab2.
append itab2.
Endloop.

Santosh

Copying internal table

hi,
iam having two internal tables itab1 and itab2.i have to copy contents of table itab1 to itab2 and delete the duplicate entries in itab2.
please provide the code for this.
thanks in advance

If you have defined your tales with the OCCURS 0.
data: itab1 like mara occurs 0 with header line,
itab2 like mara occurs 0 with header line.
itab1[] = itab2[].
sort itab2.
delete adjacent duplicates from itab2.
If you have defined tables with the types than:
data: itab1 type standard table of mara ,
itab2 type standard table of mara .
itab1 = itab2.
sort itab2.
delete adjacent duplicates from itab2.

How to make use of a global internal table in SAP BW during transfer rules

HI friends,
I am ABAP consultant working on some APO info cubes. I have an issue during the upload of planning area data into APO info cube.

There are more than 50-80 million records that wil be transferred from planning area to info cube. The select statment is giving pathetic performance as this has to run 50-80 million times.
After adding the select statment to find the TECHWEEK it is taking 4 times the time that used to take before writing the select statment.
Is there a way that I can first fetch the data from ZGC_CALWEEK to one internal table and that internal table can be used using read statment during the transfer routine instead of writing select statement here.
Please help in this case?

Hi Ashutosh,
Thanks for the reply,
The structure of the ZGC_CALWEEK is as below. I have already created a secondary index on the table for this table for the fields APO WEEK and APO MONTH. This didn't help much on the performance.
I am also planning to keep the ZGC_CALWEEK database table to be fully buffered and this may definitely improve the performance but I need to reduce the data base hits as less as possible.
MANDT                           MANDT                           CLNT     3     0     Client

The table ZGC_CALWEEK is in APO system, where the transfer rules are being executed.
As you mentioned START ROUTINE, In the start routine Can I create an internal table let's say GT_CALWEEK with structure ZGC_CALWEEK and pull all the records (I have a max of 2000 records in this table) from ZGC_CALWEEK to GT_CALWEEK and Can I used the same internal table GT_CALWEEK in the transfer routine to read the TECHWEEK from internal table.
Thank you very much again for you reply. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Using COLLECT on a internal table

Hello,
I have fetched records from a table into my internal table through, " SELECT * FROM .... INTO TABLE FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ...... "
There are two columns in my internal table against which i need a total of the column. COLLECT sums the amounts . But how can i use COLLECT in this scenario ?
Can anyone kindly guide me ...Thanks
Shehryar Dahar

Hi,
COLLECT add the numeric entries for the corresponding table keys..
Example.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
MATNR TYPE MATNR,
COUNT TYPE I,
END OF ITAB.
ITAB-MATNR = 'ABC'.
ITAB-COUNT = 2.
COLLECT ITAB.
ITAB-MATNR = 'ABC'.
ITAB-COUNT = 1.
COLLECT ITAB.
ITAB-MATNR = 'ABCD'.
ITAB-COUNT = 2.
COLLECT ITAB.
ITAB-MATNR = 'ABCD'.
ITAB-COUNT = 3.
COLLECT ITAB.
LOOP AT ITAB.
WRITE: / ITAB-MATNR, ITAB-COUNT.
ENDLOOP.
For more information on Collect, check this site:

Pls provide information regarding internal tables

hi
i would like to know can we create relationship between two internal tables.
like foriegn key relationship . if yes pls tell me how .

hi...
there is actual relationship that can b created for 2 internal tables using foreign keys,but by using " for all entries" in select statements.
syntax: for all entries.

                 NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 10,
       free TYPE I,
       wa_sflight TYPE sflight.
Suppose FTAB is filled as follows:
CARRID CONNID
LH      2415
SQ      0026
LH      0400
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO wa_sflight

Want to get the where-used hitlist to an internal table

hi everyone,
while using where-used list we will get a hit list result. I want to take that hit list data to an internal table with out using any local file.
Is anybody there to help me.
regards,
vijaya.

Hi Lakshmikona,
I had wrongly interpreted your question, as suggested by Thomas you can use RS_EU_CROSSREF to get the Where used list data in the internal table.
Refer this SAP standard report RSHDCF00 for you detailed perusal.

Invoice: How to use more than one Internal Table's info in one Table

Hi ,
I am doing an invoice, and have the info from internal table wa_itgen showing - Matnr, material description and quantity.
I want to also invlude the info Unit Price and Total price on the table line, but can't seem to do it.
I know that someone I must fill an internal table as I did on the Table itself : is_bil_invoice-it_gen INTO wa_ITGEN.
                 ( TYPE IBBIL_INVOICE).
So now I need to insert:
IS_BIL_INVOICE-IT_PRICE    INTO      WA_ITPRICE.
Do I insert Program Lines, or do it via a LOOP. Obviously it needs to go under the same Table's cells to incluce it.
I tried a LOOP, Program lines under the CELL of the table where I want it displayed, and even a Second table.
If I have the first table's info, the page displays under VF03, but as soon as I try to insert the 2nd Table's info, under VF03 the screen just not show anymore.
Please help - I've started looking at local maps for bridges... yes, to jump from...

Hi try this,
in the program lines fetch unit price and total price based on ur invoice number(as u are already in main loop which fetches invoice no material no etc).
now loop that internal table with condition inv no = current invoice no and item no = item number
and display those values on a new text field accordingly.
sample code...
select vbeln
       posnr
       j_3asize
       FKIMG
       KZWI1
       from vbrp
       into table itab
       where vbeln = GS_IT_GEN-BIL_NUMBER.
loop at itab into wa where vbeln = GS_IT_GEN-BIL_NUMBER and
                           posnr = GS_IT_GEN-ITM_NUMBER .
move : wa-j_3asize to v_grid,
       WA-FKIMG TO V_QTY,
       wa-KZWI1 to v_val.
       v_up = v_val / v_qty.
endloop.---->like this

Performing a Select Using 'IN' with an Internal Table

Hello
I defined an internal table called tempbeh. I am able to fill the table with values.
However, I do get an error with the second select. There is a problem with the code snippet
AND   beh_unique_id NOT IN tempbeh..
I am being told that the row structure of the table tempbeh is not correct.
I do NOT get any errors when I remove the code
AND   beh_unique_id NOT IN tempbeh.
Any ideas........    I'd do a prayer if somebody could help, and make me understand why I get an error in the first place.
Thank you very much....Robert
Here is the code:
DATA: BEGIN OF tempbeh OCCURS 1,
        beh like zwopti_bv_out-BEH_UNIQUE_ID,
      END OF tempbeh.
SELECT beh_unique_id FROM zwopti_bv_out
      INTO tempbeh
      WHERE udate IN s_dat.
      APPEND tempbeh.

Using Applescript to Copy a Table Across Sheets

Hi,
I am learning to use Applescript and I am not sure how to do the following:
Copy a cell value from one table in one sheet to another table in another sheet.
I tried the following:
tell sheet “B”
set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” to (value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”)
end tell
But that does not work.

I forgot to write that you must ALWAYS coerce values to strings.
set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “B” to (value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”) as text
or
set a_val to value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “A”
if class of a_val is date then set a_val to a_val - (time to GMT)
set value of cell 1 of row 1 of table “X” of sheet “B” to a_val as text
or
tell sheet "A" to tell table "X"
set a_val to value of cell 1 of row 1
end tell
tell sheet "B" to tell table "X"
if class of a_val is date then set a_val to a_val - (time to GMT)
set value of cell 1 of row 1 to a_val as text
end tell
It's necessary for :
(1) decimal numbers because an Applescript's decimal number use always the period character as decimal separator. Coercing to string replace this standard character by the localized one which is the comma in several countries.
(2) Numbers doesn't know the object date_time of Ap^pleScript. This is why you got the error : "Numbers got an error: AppleEvent handler failed.”
Coercing the date to string (or text which is exactly the same task), you send to Numbers a known structure. As you saw, in the 2nd and 3rd pieces of code, I substract the value (time to GMT) when a value is a date_time one. It's required to take care of the Numbers internal behavior.

Is PROVIDE-ENDPROVIDE statement obsolete ? Can I use it from now onwards?

Hello Techies..
I am working on HR ABAP, I have used PNP LDB extensively.
I came to know from SAP help that Provide-Endprovide statement has been obsolete in newer version of
SAP. I am aware that it is obsolete in ABAP OO context. But does that mean - we should not use provide - endprovide in our report(type 1 program).
I would be glad if you can focus some light on this point.
My second doubt:
I am using PNP LDB, can I replace PNP by PNPCE (since PNP is replaced by PNPCE in newer version).
If I do so my existing functionality will be affected.
Can you give me a brief of added features of PNPCE?
Points will be rewarded to satisfying answer !!
Regards,
Mihir.

Hello Mihir,
That is not correct. The syntax for PROVIDE statement has changed in the newer version as a result the old syntax has been declared obsolete by SAP but that is not to say that the PROVIDE statement itself has become obsolete, if I understand you correctly.
Here's the (old) syntax which has become obsolete:
PROVIDE {*|{comp1 comp2 ...}} FROM itab1
        {*|{comp1 comp2 ...}} FROM itab2
        BETWEEN extliml AND extlimu.
And here's the (new) syntax for the same PROVIDE statement which you should use in the newer SAP releases:
PROVIDE FIELDS {*|{comp1 comp2 ...}}
               FROM itab1 INTO wa1 VALID flag1
               BOUNDS intliml1 AND intlimu1
               [WHERE log_exp1]
        FIELDS {*|{comp1 comp2 ...}}
               FROM itab2 INTO wa2 VALID flag2
               BOUNDS intliml2 AND intlimu2
               [WHERE log_exp2]
        BETWEEN extliml AND extlimu
        [INCLUDING GAPS].
ENDPROVIDE.
Note the changes in the syntax. The new syntax can be used to evaluate and process records in an internal table the same way you used to with the old syntax depending on the options you are using from the new syntax. In summary, the new syntax is able to do exactly the same processing as the old but only difference in the new syntax is that the introduction of additional keywords like FIELDS, VALID and BOUNDS. You'll also notice that the new syntax requires a single workarea to read the record in the provide-endprovide loop unlike the old syntax where it did not require an explicit workarea.

It only makes sense to use PNPCE if your comany uses the SAP functionality of Concurrent Employment (CE) in HR - i.e. this feature is turned on (active) via the IMG. If CE is not active there's no problem continuing to use PNP as this is not declared obsolete or anything like that but SAP recommends that all new developments should use LDB PNPCE - I understand existing developements should be fine (as long they don't have to handle CE scenarios).
So let me know if CE is active and you need to replace all PNP reports with PNPCE and I'll be happy to send you an overview with code snippets etc.
Hope this helps and please don't forget to reward points.
Cheers,
Sougata.

Why using workarea for internal table is better in performance

Please tell me
why using workarea for internal table is better in performance

Hi Vineet ,
Why would we choose to use an internal table without a header line when it is easier to code one with a header line?
it has following reason.
1)Separate Internal Table Work Area:
The work area (staging area) defined for the internal table is not limited to use with just one internal table.
take ex-
Suppose you want two internal tables for EMPLOYEE one to contain all records and one to contain only those records where country = USA. You could create both of these internal tables without header lines and use only one work area to load data into both of them. You would append all records from the work area into the first internal table. You would conditionally append the USA records from the same work area into the second internal table.
2) Performance Issues: Using an internal table without a header line is more efficient than one with a header line
3) Nested Internal Tables: If you want to include an internal table within a structure or another internal table, you must use one without a header line.
If this one is helpful ,then rewards me
