Select Distinct/MAX

Hello,

I have the following entries in MARC (example)

I would like to do something like the following:

SELECT DISTINCT on material number with the MAXIMUM number of profit centers

So I would end up with the following entries in my internal table:

123456  500000

7890     600000

Unfortunately, I cannot restrict based on plant because there isn't one plant that all Materials exist in.

I understand I can select all records and delete duplicates but this does not guarantee that I will get the profit center which appears the most.

Thank you!
