What does it do? These variants of an iteration expression for table iterations using FOR evaluate a line group group sequentially like a member loop LOOP AT GROUP. These FOR expressions can only be specified in those places in which a group group can be accessed, that is:
in a constructor expression after an expression FOR GROUPS ... OF,
in a LOOP with the addition GROUP BY. where in both cases
the internal table must be specified directly and not specified as the result of an expression or a function,
the addition WITHOUT MEMBERS must not be specified. group is used to specify the group to be evaluated using the data object or field symbol to which the group is bound.
In the variant FOR ... IN GROUP without GROUPS OF, the expression evaluates the members of the current group in the same way as the variant FOR ... IN itab evaluates the lines of the internal table itab. The result is the lines of the group.
In the variant FOR GROUPS OF ... IN GROUP, the expression evaluates the members of the current group in the same way as the variant FOR GROUPS ... OF. The current group is grouped again and the result is either representatives or group keys of the subgroups. The condition WHERE ( log_exp ) can be used to restrict the lines of the group to be evaluated. Conditions other than this static WHERE condition cannot be specified.
Latest notes: As in LOOP AT GROUP, access to the groups is optimized internally. NON_V5_HINTS ABAP_HINT_END
ABAP_EXAMPLE_VX5 Display of a list of the total occupied seats for each airline. A LOOP with the addition GROUP BY evaluates its groups in a table reduction using FOR flight IN GROUP < carrier>. Here, the total for each group is calculated for the column seatsocc. ABEXA 01036 ABAP_EXAMPLE_END
ABAP Addition
What does it do? For each read line of the associated FOR expression, this addition sets the helper variable idx to the value to which the system field sy-tabix would be set in a corresponding LOOP AT GROUP loop. The same applies to the local data object idx as in the variant FOR ... IN itab.
