SAP ABAP - Hashed Internal Table (Table's Key Access) With Example.

Submitted By: Shilpa Gunjan (L&T Infotech)

(Hashed Table performance when the key used is table’s key)

Now the table SKB1 has a primary key which is a combination of BUKRS (Company Code) & SAKNR (G/L Account Number).

When we make a hashed table with key same as the table key, the performance improves drastically as shown.


REPORT z_internal_table_performance.


*Sorted Internal table (Performance)
PARAMETERS p_ktopl LIKE t001-ktopl.
PARAMETERS p_bukrs LIKE skb1-bukrs.
PARAMETERS p_saknr LIKE skb1-saknr.

DATA: v_time1 TYPE i,
v_time2 TYPE i,
v_time_f TYPE i.

DATA: st_skb1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF skb1,
so_skb1 TYPE SORTED TABLE OF skb1 WITH UNIQUE KEY bukrs saknr,
ha_skb1 TYPE HASHED TABLE OF skb1 WITH UNIQUE KEY bukrs saknr,
wa_skb1 TYPE skb1.



SELECT * FROM skb1 INTO TABLE st_skb1.
WRITE: /'No.Of Entries Fetched:', sy-dbcnt.
ULINE.

so_skb1 = st_skb1.
ha_skb1 = so_skb1.

*********STANDARD TABLE**************
CLEAR: wa_skb1, v_time1, v_time2, v_time_f.
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time1.
READ TABLE st_skb1 INTO wa_skb1 WITH KEY bukrs = p_bukrs
saknr = p_saknr.
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time2.
v_time_f = v_time2 - v_time1.
WRITE:/ 'Standard Table :', v_time_f, 'ms.'.

ULINE.
CLEAR: v_time1, v_time2, v_time_f, wa_skb1.
*************************************

********SORTED TABLE******************
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time1.
READ TABLE so_skb1 INTO wa_skb1 WITH table KEY bukrs = p_bukrs
saknr = p_saknr.
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time2.
v_time_f = v_time2 - v_time1.
WRITE:/ 'Sorted Table :', v_time_f, 'ms.'.

ULINE.
CLEAR: v_time1, v_time2, v_time_f,wa_skb1.
********************************************

***********HASHED TABLE*********************
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time1.
READ TABLE ha_skb1 INTO wa_skb1 WITH table KEY bukrs = p_bukrs
saknr = p_saknr.

GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time2.
v_time_f = v_time2 - v_time1.

WRITE:/ 'Hashed Table :', v_time_f, 'ms.'.


OUTPUT:

On Executing:

Tip: You can sort hashed internal table but never sort it because it will affect the performance badly.

Include a sort statement as shown:

***********HASHED TABLE*********************
SORT ha_skb1 BY bukrs saknr.
GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time1.
READ TABLE ha_skb1 INTO wa_skb1 WITH table KEY bukrs = p_bukrs
saknr = p_saknr.

GET RUN TIME FIELD v_time2.
v_time_f = v_time2 - v_time1.

WRITE:/ 'Hashed Table :', v_time_f, 'ms.'.
