You can use

READ TABLE <itab> into <WA> COMPARING f1 f2 f3 f4 f5.

If the system finds an appropriate entry, it uses the specified work area wa as the output area.

hi Manish,

You can use the read statement

READ TABLE IT_TAB INTO X_TAB COMAPARING F1 F2 F3 F4 ...

here IT_TAB is the internal table and X_TAB is the structure in which the read statement will fill the value (if specidfied condition has some data) after reading the table.

loop at itab.

if itab-field1 = lv_field1 and

itab-field2 = lv_field2.

write:/ 'similar record'.

else.

write:/ 'not similar record'.

endif.

lv_field1 = itab-field1.

lv_field2 = itab-field2.

endloop.
