Data fetch from table GLPCA taking long .

Question

Hi Friends,
I am fetching five fields from GLPCA table and i have RACCT and RPRCTR ( account Number and profit Centre res ) in the where condition. neither of these field is the primary key of the table GLPCA. I have around 161096,482 entries in the GLPCA. It takes around 20 min to fetch the data. can you guys think of some method so that it works faster.

Hi Vidya,
The time utilization is due to the way data base is been accessed. Just think that you are selecting same data in SE16 with 200 hits. See how that behaves. If you find its Ok(i.e. around 1/2 mins) go for open cursor logic. Check this syntax and change the code accordigly and try:
OPEN CURSOR w_cur1 FOR
       SELECT  ktabg vkorg ktaar ktaer kunnr
               vtweg spart
               FROM vbka
               WHERE ktabg IN so_ktabg AND
                     vkorg IN so_vkorg AND
                     kunnr IN so_kunnr AND
                     ktaar IN so_ktaar AND
                     ktaer IN so_ktaer.
    DO.
      FETCH NEXT CURSOR w_cur1 INTO CORRESPONDING
            FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbka2 PACKAGE SIZE 200.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        CLOSE CURSOR w_cur1.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
   ENDDO.
  It behaves just like Select ... Endselect. The most important thing here is the Pakage size which you have to decide based on the SE16 results. Also please mind that if the Package size is less, number of times it hits the DB is high, reducing the efficiency thereby.
