Re: Retrieve x Amount of records in a internal table

Hi Jannus,

     In addition to the experts comments above, I will suggest to use the function module SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR to avoid time out error.

     Also you can dynamically popup the message to the user indicating how much processing still left.

    describe table itab.

    batch = sy-tfill / 100.

    cnt = 0.

    loop at itab.

      cnt = cnt + 1.

      if cnt  =  batch. "For every 100 records

        percent  =  percent + 1.

        cnt  =  0.

        if percent  >  100.

          percent  =  100.

        endif.

        txt  =  percent.

        CONDENSE txt.

        CONCATENATE txt ' % completed' INTO txt.

        CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'

          EXPORTING

            percentage = percent

            text       = txt.

      endif.

     YOUR BUSINESS LOGIC

    endloop.

Regards.
