2 for all entries in a single select

Hi all,
I need to do 2 for all entries in a single select statement.Is there a way out?

Hi,
No you cant use two FOR ALL ENTRIES at a same time.
Use either of following:-
1. Only JOINS
2. One JOIN and one FOR ALL ENTRIES.
3. Use multiple queries to fill multiple internal table and then read these internal table to form a final internal table.
Hope this solves your problem.

'FOR ALL ENTRIES' in SELECT statements

Hi,
I got a doubt in working of the 'FOR ALL ENTRIES' option in the SELECT statement. Here is my scenarion.
Table A - Document Header Level (Key: Doc Number)
Internal Table B - Document Item level (Keys: Doc num and Doc Item).
So, for each record in Table A, table B will have multiple records.
In this situation, how the below SELECT will work.
SELECT <field names> INTO <some internal table>
 FROM A
 FOR ALL ENTRIES in B
 WHERE doc_num = B-doc_num.
Will the above SELECT result in duplicate records or not?
(I tested it and found that it doesn't! I was lil surprised and wanted to confirm that)
Thanks & Regards,
Sree

Hi,
For all entries option basically sorts out the entries in the internal tbale based on the where condition and thus it only picks the unique entries based on the list.
so indeed your table A is a header one so it will give you only single value. if you go by the reverse way where in look for B for all entries in A it will give you multiple values as table B has multiple values for each value in A.

Select -- for all entries.. fetching Duplicates

Hi,
Im using a Select- for all entries structure. Actually Select will supress the Duplicates .But i have a table which has 20000 entries , but my select --for all entries fetching around 56000 records..!
Any idea/ anybody have Experience this kind of Problem..?
If i sort the internal table would it resolve the proble..? Because its not happening in all cases.. but for few cases only its extracting duplicates.. other times..its supressing the duplicates.
Appreciate any advise.

Hi,
Just check the table is not initial and then write select statement.
if not internaltable1[] is initial.
select field into table internaltable2 for all entries in internaltable1 where field1 = internaltable1-field1.
endif.
*Then sort the internaltable2
sort internaltable2 by field.
delete adjacent dulpcates from internaltable2 comparing field.
Hope this helps.

For all entries vs. subquery

saw sap help on performance... & saw that using subquery is better than for all entries?
i understand that using join may be the best method for joining a few tables..
for many tables, normally for all entries are used.
so how about subquery?
codes by sap..
Using for all entries...
SELECT * FROM SPFLI
INTO TABLE T_SPFLI
WHERE CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
 AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F
 INTO SFLIGHT_WA
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_SPFLI
 WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
 AND CARRID = T_SPFLI-CARRID
 AND CONNID = T_SPFLI-CONNID
 AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
ENDSELECT.
using subquery...
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F INTO SFLIGHT_WA
 WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
 AND EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM SPFLI
 WHERE CARRID = F~CARRID
 AND CONNID = F~CONNID
 AND CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
 AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK' )
 AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
ENDSELECT.

Hi Charles,
It is not at all advised to use SELECT...ENDSELECT to fetch data from the database. It would reduce the performance.
Generally to achieve your query, I will do this.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
 INTO TABLE IT_SFLIGHT
 WHERE SEATSOCC S_SEATSMAX
 AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '20060331'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
 LOOP AT IT_SFLIGHT.
 V_TABIX = SY-TABIX.
 SELECT SINGLE * FROM SPFLI
 INTO WA_SPFLI
 WHERE CARRID = IT_SFLIGHT-CARRID
 AND CONNID = IT_SFLIGHT-CONNID
 AND CITYFROM = 'FRANKFRUIT'
 AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 DELETE IT_SFLIGHT INDEX V_TABIX.
 ENDIF.
 ENDLOOP. " IT_SFLIGHT
ENDIF. " SFLIGHT

INNER JOIN with FOR ALL ENTRIES IN Performance ?

I am using following the following Select using Inner join with For All Entries in.
 SELECT kebeln kebelp kvbeln kvbelp
 FROM ekkn AS k INNER JOIN ekbe AS b ON kebeln = bebeln
 AND kebelp = bebelp
 INTO TABLE gi_purchase
 FOR ALL ENTRIES
 IN gi_sales
 WHERE k~mandt EQ sy-mandt
 AND k~vbeln EQ gi_sales-vbeln
 AND k~vbelp EQ gi_sales-posnr
 AND b~budat EQ p_date.
If i am not doing inner join then I will have to do 2 select with for all entries in on ekkn and ekbe tables and then compare them.
I want to know which one has better performance
Inner join with for all entries in
 or
2 Selects with for all entries in

the join is almost aways faster:

An Inner Join with for all entries should be done if you add this....
IF NOT gi_sales[] IS INITIAL.
SELECT k~ebeln k~ebelp k~vbeln k~vbelp
FROM ekkn AS k INNER JOIN ekbe AS b ON k~ebeln = b~ebeln
AND k~ebelp = b~ebelp
INTO TABLE gi_purchase
FOR ALL ENTRIES
IN gi_sales
WHERE k~mandt EQ sy-mandt
AND k~vbeln EQ gi_sales-vbeln
AND k~vbelp EQ gi_sales-posnr
AND b~budat EQ p_date.
ENDIF.
Also, while you use an index or the complete key for the SELECT, your not going to suffer from lack of performance -;)

Issue with FOR ALL ENTRIES

Hi All,
I have used FOR ALL ENTRIES statement in while selecting data based on some other internal table (to avoid select within loop).
While using FOR ALL ENTRIES, the target table (internal table in which data is getting stored) is getting affected.
The other fields are becoming zero and several rows gets delerted from the internal table after performing select query.
How to avoid this bug?
Kindly help me out....
Regards
Pavan

hi after the for all entries statement did you used the read statement .
if not you will not get any data ..check this program..
tables:mara,marc.
data:begin of itab occurs 0,
     matnr like mara-matnr,
     end of itab.
data:begin of itab1 occurs 0,
     matnr like marc-matnr,
     werks like marc-werks,
     end of itab1.
select   matnr
      from mara
      into corresponding fields of table itab.
      if   itab is initial.
      select matnr
              werks
             from marc
             into table itab1
             for all entries in itab
             where matnr = itab-matnr.
             loop at itab1.
             read table itab with key matnr = itab-matnr.
             write:/ itab1-matnr,itab1-werks.
             endloop.

Problem with for all entries

Hi all,
When i was trying to use for all entries, i am not able to pull records inside my internal table. Though both of the tables have the common key fields between them(and ofcourse have entries in that). Now what i have analyzed was, the first table is having 7 primary keys and the one i am using for 'for all entries' comes 6th. Does this gives any impact in pulling records inside my internal table?.Else please give me a possible solution for this. The alternate statement(a normal select query with * ) that i had used for this reserved my dialog processor for a while. Which resulted in 'time exceeded' short dump.

Hi,
The WHERE clause of the SELECT statement has a special variant that allows you to derive conditions from the lines and columns of an internal table:
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <itab> WHERE <cond> ...
<cond> may be formulated as described above. If you specify a field of the internal table <itab> as an operand in a condition, you address all lines of the internal table. The comparison is then performed for each line of the internal table. For each line, the system selects the lines from the database table that satisfy the condition. The result set of the SELECT statement is the union of the individual selections for each line of the internal table. Duplicate lines are automatically eliminated from the result set. If <itab> is empty, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is disregarded, and all entries are read.
The internal table <itab> must have a structured line type, and each field that occurs in the condition <cond> must be compatible with the column of the database with which it is compared. Do not use the operators LIKE, BETWEEN, and IN in comparisons using internal table fields. You may not use the ORDER BY clause in the same SELECT statement.
You can use the option FOR ALL ENTRIES to replace nested select loops by operations on internal tables. This can significantly improve the performance for large sets of selected data.
Hope this is useful

Queries for FOR ALL ENTRIES IN

1. If I use For all entries in inspite of loop within loop , wil it help in
 increasing processing time ??
2. There is one problem in For all entries in , it is not fetching all
 entries but it left entries having same data so is it like that only
Please dont pass any link.

Hi,
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <itab> WHERE <cond> ..<cond>
If you specify a field of the internal table <itab>
as an operand in a condition, you address all lines of the internal table. The comparison is then performed for each line of the internal table. For each line, the system selects the lines from the database table that satisfy the condition. The result set of the SELECT statement is the union of the individual selections for each line of the internal table. Duplicate lines are automatically eliminated from the result set. If <itab> is empty, the addition FOR ALL ENTRIES is disregarded, and all entries are read. The internal table <itab> must have a structured line type, and each field that occurs in the condition <cond> must be compatible with the column of the database with which it is compared. Do not use the operators LIKE, BETWEEN, and IN in comparisons using internal table fields. You may not use the ORDER BY clause in the same SELECT statement. You can use the option FOR ALL ENTRIES to replace nested select loops by operations on
internal tables. This can significantly improve the performance for large sets of selected data.
It is also possible to avoid nested SELECT loops by placing the selection from the outer loop in an internal table and then running the inner selection once only using the FOR ALL ENTRIES addition. This technique stems from the time before joins were allowed in the FROM clause. On the other hand, it does prevent redundant data from being transferred from the database.
Answers for your question is :
1. If I use For all entries in inspite of loop within loop , wil it help in increasing processing time ?? : It will Improve your performance.
2. There is one problem in For all entries in , it is not fetching all entries but it left entries having same data so is it like that only : True it preventsredundant data from being transferred from the database.
Hope this solves your doubt.
Plz reward if helpful.

Performance on Select Single&Write AND Select*(For All Entries)&Read&Write

Hi Experts,
I got a code review problem & we are in a argument.
I need the best performance code out of this two codes. I have tested this both on 5 & 1000 & 3000 & 100,000 & 180,000 records.
But still, I just need a second opinion of experts.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_account,
        saknr   TYPE   skat-saknr,
        END OF ty_account.
DATA : g_txt50      TYPE skat-txt50.
DATA : g_it_skat    TYPE TABLE OF skat,       g_wa_skat    LIKE LINE OF g_it_skat.
DATA : g_it_account TYPE TABLE OF ty_account, g_wa_account LIKE LINE OF g_it_account.
Code 1.
SELECT saknr INTO TABLE g_it_account FROM skat.
LOOP AT g_it_account INTO g_wa_account.
SELECT SINGLE txt50 INTO g_txt50 FROM skat
    WHERE spras = 'E'
      AND ktopl = 'XXXX'
      AND saknr = g_wa_account-saknr.
WRITE :/ g_wa_account-saknr, g_txt50.
CLEAR : g_wa_account, g_txt50.
ENDLOOP.
Code 2.
SELECT saknr INTO TABLE g_it_account FROM skat.
SELECT * INTO TABLE g_it_skat FROM skat
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN g_it_account
      WHERE spras = 'E'
        AND ktopl = 'XXXX'
        AND saknr = g_it_account-saknr.
LOOP AT g_it_account INTO g_wa_account.
READ TABLE g_it_skat INTO g_wa_skat WITH KEY saknr = g_wa_account-saknr.
WRITE :/ g_wa_account-saknr, g_wa_skat-txt50.
CLEAR : g_wa_account, g_wa_skat.
ENDLOOP.
Thanks & Regards,
Dileep .C

Hi Dilip.
from you both the code I have found that you are selecting 2 diffrent fields.
In Code 1.
you are selecting SAKNR and then for these SAKNR you are selecting TXT50 from the same table.
and in Code 2 you are selecting all the fields from SAKT table for all the values of SAKNR.
I don't know whats your requirement.
Better you declare a select option on screen and then fetch required fields from SAKT table for the values entered on screen for SAKNR.
you only need TXT50 and SAKNR fields.
so declare two types one for SAKNR and another for TXT50.
Points to be remember.
1. while using for all entries always check the for all entries table should not be blank.
2. you will have to fetch all the key fields in table while applying for all entries,
    you can compare key fields with a constant which is greater than initial value.
3. while reading the table sort the table by the field on which you are going to read it.
try this:
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_account,
saknr TYPE skat-saknr,
END OF ty_account.
TYPES : begin of T_txt50,
      saknr type saknr,
      txt50 type txt50,
end of t_txt50.
DATA: i_account type table of t_account,
      w_account type t_account,
      i_txt50 type table t_txt50,
      w_txt50 type t_txt50.
select SAKNR from SKAT into table i_account.
if sy-subrc = 0.
sort i_account by saknr.
select saknr txt50 from SKAT into table i_txt50
for all entries in i_account
where SAKNR = i_account-SAKNR
here mention al the primary keys and compare them with their constants.
endif.
Note; here you need to take care that, you will have to fetch all the key fields in table i_txt50.
and compare those fields with there constants which should be greater than initial values.
they should be in proper sequence.
now for writing.
loop at i_account into w_account.
clear w_txt50.
sort i_txt50 by saknr.
read table i_txt50 into w_txt50 with key SAKNR = w_account-saknr
if sy-subrc = 0.
write: w_txt50-saknr, w-txt50-txt50.
clear w_txt50, w_account.
endif.
endloop.
Hope it wil clear your doubts.
Thanks

Selecting single value using for all entries.

Hi Experts,
I want to know that is it possible to fetch only the first record for a particular condition while using for all entries.
For ex:
Suppose i got 10 different vbeln from vbak table into my internal table it_vbak. For a particular vbeln there can be multiple records in vbap table.
Now i need to fetch only the first record which is getting from vbap table for different vbeln while using 'for all entries in it_vbak where vbeln = it_vbak-vbeln'. Is it possible?
Thanks in Advance

Hi Rob Burbank,
Thanks..
You are correct.. If that is the scenario in their company... Again it depends on the configuration and business process.. But it's possible that they may need to delete first on any line item after creation of sale order..
In that case below solution will work..
IF IT_VBAK[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT * FROM VBAP
INTO TABLE IT_VBAP
for all entries in it_vbak
where vbeln = it_vbak-vbeln.
ENDIF.
SORT IT_VBAP BY VBELN POSNR.
LOOP AT IT_VBAK INTO WA_VBAK.
READ TABLE IT_VBAP INTO WA_VBAP WITH KEY VBELN = WA_VBAK-VBELN.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
APPEND WA_VBAP TO IT_VBAP2. " Another Internal table which stores only first record
ENDIF.
CLEAR : WA_VBAP.
ENDLOOP.
OR
IT_VBAP3[] = IT_VBAP[].
SORT IT_VBAP3 BY VBELN POSNR.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_VBAP3 COMPARING VBELN.
Now Table IT_VBAP2 and IT_VBAP3 will be having only first line items for all sales orders..
Do some little changes in the code as per your requirement.
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards

Performance issue with select query and for all entries.

hi,
i have a report to be performance tuned.
the database table has around 20 million entries and 25 fields.
so, the report fetches the distinct values of two fields using one select query.
so, the first select query fetches around 150 entries from the table for 2 fields.
then it applies some logic and eliminates some entries and makes entries around 80-90...
and then it again applies the select query on the same table using for all entries applied on the internal table with 80-90 entries...
in short,
it accesses the same database table twice.
so, i tried to get the database table in internal table and apply the logic on internal table and delete the unwanted entries.. but it gave me memory dump, and it wont take that huge amount of data into abap memory...
is around 80-90 entries too much for using "for all entries"?
the logic that is applied to eliminate the entries from internal table is too long, and hence cannot be converted into where clause to convert it into single select..
i really cant find the way out...
please help.

chinmay kulkarni wrote:Chinmay,
Even though you tried to ask the question with detailed explanation, unfortunately it is still not clear.
It is perfectly fine to access the same database twice. If that is working for you, I don't think there is any need to change the logic. As Rob mentioned, 80 or 8000 records is not a problem in "for all entries" clause.

It is not clear what you tried to do here. Did you try to bring all 20 million records into an internal table? That will certainly cause the program to short dump with memory shortage.

That is fine. Actually, it is better (performance wise) to do much of the work in ABAP than writing a complex WHERE clause that might bog down the database.

Select statment using FOR ALL ENTRIES not allow to do sum,

Hi All,
SELECT DELIV_NUMB
SUM( GRS_WGT_DL )
UNIT_OF_WT
FROM /BIC/AGSSD000600
INTO TABLE I_GROSS
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_LAYTWO
WHERE DELIV_NUMB = I_LAYTWO-DELIV_NUMB
GROUP BY DELIV_NUMB UNIT_OF_WT.
While compiling it shows the error
The addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES" excludes all aggregate functions with
the exception of "COUNT( * )", as the single element of the SELECT
clause.
Please give some solution to do sum
with regards,
Thambe .

You could just select all entries into an internal table and then loop through and use COLLECT or similar to get your sum values.

Dynamic SELECT containing 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'

Hi,
 I am trying to do a slect from a table in which the table and the field to be selected will be dynamically populated using Field Symbol
Something like this,
SELECT * FROM <FS_TABLE>
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <FS_IT_TABLE>
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_TABLE
WHERE <FS_FIELD> EQ T_TABLE-FIELD1.
I know that <FS_FIELD> cannot be used along with 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'. Is there any other way to achieve this?

Hi!
Try out the dynamical WHERE conditions then:
PARAMETERS: column TYPE c LENGTH 8,
 value TYPE c LENGTH 30.
DATA spfli_wa TYPE spfli.
DATA cond_syntax TYPE string.
CONCATENATE column '= value'
 INTO cond_syntax SEPARATED BY space.
TRY.
 SELECT SINGLE *
 FROM spfli
 INTO spfli_wa
 WHERE (cond_syntax).
CATCH cx_sy_dynamic_osql_error.
 MESSAGE `Wrong WHERE condition!` TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
