Dynamic where clause with loop statement

Hi all,
is it possible to use a dynamic where clause with a loop statement?
Can you please advise me, how the syntax needs to be?
Thanks for your suggestions,
kind regards, Kathrin!

Dynamic WHERE clause in SELECT statement

Hi,
I need to extract (SELECT) all the products in different salesorganizations. Since a product can be available in more than 1 salesorg I have created several properties in the PRODUCT dimension - 1 for each salesorganization (naming: Sxxxx where xxxx is the salesorganization number).
Since I need to prefix the salesorganization property with an "S" I have created a property on the SALESORG dimension called SALESORG.
Therefore I need to create a dynamic WHERE clause in the SELECT statement. Currently my script is:
*SELECT(%SORG%, "[SALESORG]",SALESORG, [ID]=%SALESORG_SET%)
*SELECT(%PROD%, "[ID]",PRODUCT, [%SORG%]="X")
My first SELECT find the Sxxx (equal to the property I need in the PRODUCT dimension). My second SELECT uses the variable in the first SELCT statement to use the correct property for the WHERE clause.
Unfortunately the code is not validated - any suggestions?
/Lars

Hi Lars,
If you run it from a DM package without validating it, does it still work? I would bet it does.
If this is the case I would open a message with SAP (it would be an enhancement request). Until they fix the validation code, you would just have to live with the script not validating.
Cheers,
Ethan

Creating dynamic where clause with string delimiter " ; "

hi...
i need a solution for complex problem like, 1. start_date IN date,
end_date IN date,
shift_type IN varchar2
i will get shift_type as "first_shift" or "first_shift;second_shift" or "first_shift;second_shift;third_shift" ....etc any combination. where fist & second & third shits are nothing but 1 , 2 , 3. i need to find out data between start_date and end_date in combination of shifts ( may be 1;2 or 1;3 or 1;2;3 or 2;3 ...etc) . now i need to write this code in dynamic where clause ...i tried in different ways...but not succeeded. can anybody guide me step by step...or with script.
NOTE: there is a table called "shift" with data like
shift_type shift_mode
1 first_shift
2 second_shift
3 third_shift

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
If the question involves parameters, give a few different sets of parameters and the results you want for each set, given the same sample data.
It's unclear that you need dynamic SQL at all.
If shift_type is a variable, that can be either a single value or a ;-delimited list (such as '1;3'), you can compare that to a column called shift_column like this:
WHERE ';' || shift_type || ';' LIKE
'%;' || shift_column || ';%'No dynamic SQL or PL/SQL required.
If you really do want to use dynamic SQL, these two pages should gives you some ideas:

Dynamic where clause in Loop

Is iot possible to use a dynamic where clause in a loop? If so how to you code this?
i.e. Loop at itab in wa where (dynamic_where_clause)...
    endloop...
Moderator message: please read ABAP documentation for your SAP release.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 29, 2011 3:20 PM

You should be aware that a LOOP AT ... WHERE is not an optimized access .
+ because on a standard table there is not sort order,
   so the loop goes over the whole table and does
   something when the condition is fulfilled
+ it is optimzed for sorted tables, but only for one key!
=> so your idea must have bad performance!
If this is not a problem, then you can solve the problem
in the following way:
loop at table
   if ( dynamic condition )
   endif.
endloop.
But maybe is dynamic condition is not necessary, but
a some fixed if-conditions are also o.k.

Loop with dynamic where clause

hi,
In a program we need to use a loop into an internal table with a where condition is decided on run time.
"Select" from database table is using dynamic where clause and it is working fine.
For the loop part does any one have any idea on this? if we can have dynamic where clause in a loop into internal tab?
Thanks

Hi,
You can't use 'loop where' dynamically .
Have you already tried to use Ranges and CHECK statement?
Like:
First mount range options;
Loop at <table>.
Check using the range.
endloop.
Maybe it's works for you !!

Dynamic query in where clause while looping in an internal table.

Hi,
Had a small question : How can i make a dynamic query for the WHERE clause while looping at an internal table.
i want to implement a dynamic where clause query for the below example.
it_cfx_col is an internal table and wa_cfx_col is a work area for it_cfx_col
DATA :
i_cfx_col TYPE TABLE OF cfx_col,
wa_cfx_col LIKE LINE OF i_cfx_col.
DATA : count TYPE i VALUE 0.
DATA : l_where_clause TYPE string,
         l_where_clause2 TYPE string,
         l_name type string.
l_name = 'NANDANOM'.
l_scenario = 'collaboration'.
LOOP AT it_cfx_col INTO wa_cfx_col
WHERE CREATED_BY = l_name
AND SCENARIO = l_scenario.
count = count + 1.
some business logic implemented using the work area wa_cfx_col
endloop.
Now i want to write a dynamic query for the where clause.
DATA : count TYPE i VALUE 0.
DATA : l_where_clause TYPE string,
         l_where_clause2 TYPE string,
         l_name type string.
l_name = 'NANDANOM'.
l_scenario = 'collaboration'.
l_where_clause = 'CREATED_BY = l_name'.
l_where_clause2 = 'AND SCENARIO = l_scenario'.
if l_scenario is not initial.
CONCATENATE l_where_clause l_where_clause2
INTO l_where_clause SEPARATED BY space.
endif.
LOOP AT i_cfx_col INTO wa_cfx_col
WHERE (l_where_clause).
count = count + 1.
some business logic implemented using the work area wa_cfx_col
endloop.
when i compile this i get an error message as { Statement concluding with "...(l_where_clause)" ended unexpectedly}
Even i changed the initilization of the variable l_where_clause2 to [ l_where_clause2 = 'AND SCENARIO = l_scenario.'. ]
added the end of line demarkation ".", but still i got the same error message.
Is it a limtation in ABAP that i cannot write a dynamic query for the where clause while looping at an internal table?
Regards,
om

Hi savita,
there in no such 1 limitaion in abap for dynamic query .. i think the error meassge is only beacuse of your synatx delcartaion.
>> LOOP AT i_cfx_col INTO wa_cfx_col
   WHERE (l_where_clause).
   count = count + 1.
some business logic implemented using the work     area    wa_cfx_col
   endloop.
afted delclarataion also , in the where statement you should specify both the field name and value bname
   LOOP AT i_cfx_col INTO wa_cfx_col
   WHERE l_where_clause = 'CREATED_BY = l_name' .
   count = count + 1.
hope it helps.

How to add a dynamic where clause for a sql based VO with group by query?

Hi,
Here is my case, I have a sql query based VO with the query like "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status". Now I used the following java code trying to dynamically add the where clause to my VO to filter the rows based the type attribute in my DB table.
vo.setWhereClause("type='MyType1' ");
vo.executeQuery();
Then I got the sql syntax error. Looks like the ADF has added the where clause to the end of my sql so my sql becomes "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table group by status where type='MyType1' ". But what I expected was the correct syntax "select status, count(*) StatusCount from my_table where type='MyType1' group by status".
Does anyone know if this is an ADF bug? Or is there any other way to achieve my goal?
Thanks,
Chunyang
Edited by: Chunyang on Dec 13, 2012 9:09 PM

Hi,
When you use setWhereClause on the VO, it is applied on top of the VO query. I.e, assume your VO has the following query.
select empno, ename from empNow, if you apply the where clause programatically, only the two attributes that you are using in the select statement could be used. I.e
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where ename='KING' - VALID
select * from (select empno, ename from emp) where deptno=10 - INVALID (because the inner query - the one you've defined as query for your vo does not have deptno attribute selected)If you would need to set a dynamic where clause, you need to make them available in your select statement / use bind variables.

Where clause with a combination of And and Or statements - Basic question

Hi,
I have a where clause with a combination of And and Or statements... May I know which one would run first
Here is the sample
WHERE SITE_NAME = 'Q' AND ET_NAME IN ('12', '15') AND TEST_DATE > DATE OR SITE_NAME = 'E' AND ET_NAME IN ('19', '20')
can you please explain how this combination works
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This reminds me of a great story. It's so good, it probably didn't really happen, but it's so good, I'm going to repeat it anyway.
IBM once had an "executive apptitude test" that they would give to job applicants. There were some questions you might call general knowlege or trivia questions, and each question had a weight (for example, answering an unimportant queestion might score one point, an important question might be 5 points.) One of the questions was "What is the standard width of a mobile home?", and the weight of the question was -20: answering the question correctly did serious harm to your score. The reasoning was that the more you knew about mobile homes, the less likely you were to be their kind of executive.
Now, as to your question, the correct answer is: I don't know. I don't want to know. Mixing ANDs and ORs without grouping them in parentheses is a really bad idea. Even if you get it right, it's going to confuse the next person who has to look at that code. Use parentheses to make sure the code is doing what you want it to do.
If you really want to find out, it's documented in the SQL language manual. Look up "Operators, prcedence"
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/operators001.htm#sthref815
You can easily do an experiment, using scott.emp, or even dual, where
WHERE (x AND y)
OR      zproduces different results from
WHERE   x
AND     (y OR z)

How to create VO with multiple dynamic where clauses on select with UNION?

I am trying to implement the View Object for the UNION query that looks like this:
     select a,b,c...
          from t1,t2,...
          where dynamic_where_clause1
     union all
     select a,b,c,...
          from t11,t12, ...
          where dynamic_where_clause2
There are up to 60 input parameters that are used to generate dynamic where clauses. They are actually created by calling PL SQL function.
So far, I was not able to assign both where clauses to the view object. Is there a workable solution for this problem, besides resorting to programmatic View Object?
I understand that recommended way with UNIONs is to wrap both queries into a parent select:
select * from (
     select a,b,c...
          from t1,t2,...
          where ... -- table relationship joints
     union all
     select a,b,c,...
          from t11,t12, ...
          where ... -- table relationship joints
) QRSLT
     where dynamic_where_clause
Unfortunately this approach doesn't work here, since individual selects are producing unmanageable amount of data and resulting query takes forever to complete.

I afraid I would not have any real benefits from using VO if I replace the entire query with every request. Actually, the performance may suffer.
I solved the problem by creating a POJO Data Control and invoking the custom select query from java. Not sure if it is the best approach to the problem, but implementation time is limited and it works.
Actually, this is not the first time I see the need to implement VO with complicated SQL like select with unions and dynamic pieces. It would be nice to find a solution and not resort to workarounds.

Dynamic IF statement...like dynamic where clause...

Hi,
I know how to do a dynamic where clause by putting (varname) like shown below -
select * from cust_mstr where (varname).
Can I do it something like this in IF statement.
if (varname).
endif.
The varname will have different conditions.
Your help will be greately appreciated.
Regards,
Sume

Hello Sume,
I would try to use an approach using ranges:
DATA:
gv_material TYPE matnr.
gv_material = '292-392-392-202'.
IF gv_material = '292-392-392-202'.
WRITE: / `Static check:`, gv_material, `matches!`.
ELSE.
WRITE: / `Static check:`, gv_material, `doesn't match!`.
ENDIF.
PERFORM dynamic_check
            USING
               gv_material
               'I'
               'EQ'
               '292-392-392-202'
               space.
PERFORM dynamic_check
            USING
               gv_material
               'I'
               'CP'
               '*292*'
               space.
PERFORM dynamic_check
            USING
               gv_material
               'I'
               'CP'
               '*ABC*'
               space.
*&      Form dynamic_check
FORM dynamic_check USING pv_value    TYPE clike
                         pv_sign     TYPE ddsign
                         pv_option   TYPE ddoption
                         pv_low      TYPE string
                         pv_high     TYPE string.
DATA lr_range TYPE RANGE OF string.
DATA ls_range LIKE LINE OF lr_range.
ls_range-sign   = pv_sign.
ls_range-option = pv_option.
ls_range-low    = pv_low.
ls_range-high   = pv_high.
APPEND ls_range TO lr_range.
IF pv_value IN lr_range.
    WRITE: / `Dynamic check matches: `, pv_value, ls_range-sign, ls_range-option, ls_range-low, ls_range-high.
ELSE.
    WRITE: / `Dynamic check doesn't match:`, pv_value, ls_range-sign, ls_range-option, ls_range-low, ls_range-high.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "dynamic_check
For values of SIGN and OPTION check the values of the domains used in the data elements of the parameters of form dynamic_check.
Output is like:
Static check:                292-392-392-202    matches!
Dynamic check matches:       292-392-392-202    I EQ 292-392-392-202
Dynamic check matches:       292-392-392-202    I CP *292*
Dynamic check doesn't match: 292-392-392-202    I CP *ABC*

REPORT with dynamic WHERE CLAUSE (run RDF or REP) ?

Hi:
When running a REPORT (myreport.rep) with dynamic where clause using a lexical parameter, I got this error:
REP-1439: Cannot compile .REP or .PLX file as it does not have source
If i run the report specifiying RDF extension (myreport.rdf) the report run successfully! Is this normal ?
If I specify RDF extension will Report Server COMPILE the report everytime I execute it ?
When using dynamic WHERE CLAUSE I will have to run RDF files instead of REP ?
I'm running Reports 9i under Linux, with IDS under Windows.
Waiting Help
Joao Oliveira

It sounds like you are building the .rep files on one platform (windows) and running them on another (linux). The reason that the .rdf file continues to work is that Reports recompiles the PL/SQL within the report when you move from one platform to another or change schemas. .rep files can't be re-compiled in this way so you need to ensure they are compiled successfully when converting them.
You need to convert from .rdf to .rep on the platform that you are intending to run on. Try running rwconverter on the linux platform with "compile_all=yes" to produce the .rep file and running that .rep file.

Dynamic where clause in "delete itab where..." variant

Hi, I need to be able to delete the contents of an internal table based on a dynamic where clause. I don't want to loop through the entire table to test each record. Since the delete statement doesn't seem to allow a dynamic "where" clause I am trying to use a macro. I can't get the macro to work either.
I get the following error in my syntax check:
Statement concluding with "...FINAL_STATEMENT" ended unexpectedly.
Is there any way to get this macro to pass the syntax text or accomplish the dynamic delete?
MACRO TO FILTER OUT UNWANTED RECORDS (RETAIL OUTLETS)
DEFINE DELOUT.
    DELETE MY_ITAB WHERE &1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
Example FINAL_STATEMENT = ( ZRRDIVIS = '4' )
USING MACRO DOES NOT PASS SYNTAX CHECK
DELOUT FINAL_STATEMENT.

Well, if you really need this kind of functionality, here is a code sample that I just threw together that would work. A lot of code for one little delete statement though.
report zrich_0001 .

      fielda type c,
