SAP ABAP - Nested Loop
Advertisements
The DO and WHILE statements can be tested as well as combined with other loop forms. Each nested loop will have it’s own SY-INDEX created and monitored by the system.
Syntax
The syntax for nested DO loop is −
DO [n TIMES]. <statement block n>. DO [m TIMES]. <statement block m>. ENDDO. ENDDO.
Example
REPORT YS_SEP_15. Data: a1 type I, b1 type I. a1 = 0. b1 = 0. Do 2 times. a1 = a1 + 1. Write: /'Outer', a1. Do 10 times. b1 = b1 + 1. Write: /'Inner', b1. ENDDo. ENDDo
The above code produces the following output −
Outer 1 Inner 1 Inner 2 Inner 3 Inner 4 Inner 5 Inner 6 Inner 7 Inner 8 Inner 9 Inner 10 Outer 2 Inner 11 Inner 12 Inner 13 Inner 14 Inner 15 Inner 16 Inner 17 Inner 18 Inner 19 Inner 20
In this example, the outer DO loop is processed twice and the inner DO loop is processed 10 times, each time the outer DO loop is processed. So in this case, the inner loop is processed 20 times.
