In SAP NetWeaver 7.4 checking of record existence is very simple and easy, all it can happen with simple key word line_exists , it works very similar to READ TABLE .. TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS
Syntax: line_exists( <ITAB>[ <COLUMN1> = <VALUE> <COLUMN2> = <VALUE> ... ] ).
Example using line_exists ABAP 7.4
SELECT *
FROM MARA
INTO TABLE @DATA(IT_MARA)
UP TO 50 ROWS
WHERE MTART = 'FERT'.
IF line_exists( it_mara[ matnr = '0001' ] ).
WRITE:/ 'Records Exists'.
ENDIF.
IF NOT line_exists( it_mara[ matnr = '0002' ] ).
write:/ 'No Record Exists'.
ENDIF.
Using Multiple Columns to check for a record
SELECT *
FROM MARA
INTO TABLE @DATA(IT_MARA)
UP TO 50 ROWS
WHERE MTART = 'FERT'.
IF line_exists( it_mara[ matnr = '0001' mtart = 'FERT' ] ).
WRITE:/ 'Records Exists'.
ENDIF.
