Re: If all values in a column of internal table are same ,On which basis the sorting is carried out .?

Hi,

  If in internal table one coulmn value is same for all record, then if you are using sort on internal table there will be no chnage in the sequence , but if you sort on some other column value then system will sort it accordingly.

e,g.

    TYPES : BEGIN OF TP_ICODE,
            NAME(5)   TYPE C,
            VALUE      TYPE I,
          END OF TP_ICODE.

  DATA : WA_ICODE  TYPE TP_ICODE,
         IT_ICODE  TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TP_ICODE.
*
*
     CLEAR : WA_ICODE.

      WA_ICODE-NAME    = 'John'.
      WA_ICODE-VALUE   = '2000'.
      APPEND WA_ICODE TO IT_ICODE.

      WA_ICODE-NAME    = 'John'.
      WA_ICODE-VALUE   = '1020'.
      APPEND WA_ICODE TO IT_ICODE.

      WA_ICODE-NAME    = 'John'.
      WA_ICODE-VALUE   = '1520'.
      APPEND WA_ICODE TO IT_ICODE.

      WA_ICODE-NAME    = 'John'.
      WA_ICODE-VALUE   = '1620'.
      APPEND WA_ICODE TO IT_ICODE.


      SORT IT_ICODE.                  "check sequence after this
      sort it_icode by value.            ""check sequence after this

      BREAK-POINT.
