MANIPULATING INTERNAL TABLE...

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a internal table I_TAB[] as follows:

ID--VALUE---ATTRIBUTE

P1--36--

---

D

P3--34--

---

Y

P9--32--

---

J

I want to do a mass change in the ID value of this internal table such that, all the IDs get changed

to 'PA' as follows. I don't want to loop at the internal table, pas value to work area and then one by one from peformcne standpoint.

ID--VALUE---ATTRIBUTE

PA--36--

---

D

PA--34--

---

Y

PA--32--

---

J

Regards,

Rajesh.

You need to use work area as follows... otherwise i guess its not possible.. Do F1 on Modify and explore

Try this...

DATA: WA_ITAB TYPE ITAB.

WA_ITAB-ID = 'PA'.
MODIFY ITAB FROM WA_ITAB TRANSPORTING ID.

Thanks,

There no single statement which can do this as the data in each row will be different and will have to be changed individually. The best way I can think of is using field symbols

Loop at itab assigning <fs>.

****Statement

endloop.

Try this code:

w_tab-id = 'PA'.

modify i_tab from w_tab transporting id

where id NE 'PA'.

Update itab SET ID = 'PA'.

I will vote for

LOOP AT I_TAB[]  ASSIGNING <FS>.
<FS>-ID = 'PA'.
ENDLOOP.
