ABAP Error. Help needed ASAP

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to write an ABAP statement for the below requirement.
Function has two import parameters. 1. key and 2. date.
                            Export parameter: export_rec like TAB.
Req:  I need to select a record from a table where key = input parameter and input date lies between the from and to date fields in the table. (since table is time dependent).
EXPORT_REC like TAB,
I_T_TAB like TAB OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT  SINGLE * FROM I_T_TAB INTO EXPORT_REC WHERE KEY = IMPORT_ PARAMETER AND IMPORT_PARAM_DATE BETWEEN FROM_DATE AND TO_DATE.
But, I am getting errors. It says the I_T_TAB is not defined in the Abap dictionary as table, view or projection.
I defined it as an internal table. But, even then I am getting this error.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue,
Thanks,
Regards,

Hi
From you code i understand that I_T_TAB is the internal table that fetch data from the SAP table TAB.
So, the reason for the error statement is because of the Select statement.
The select statement is used to fetch data from SAP table TAB.
So your select statement should look like this...
SELECT SINGLE * FROM TAB INTO I_T_TAB
WHERE key = import_ PARAMETER
AND import_param_date BETWEEN from_date AND to_date.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_t_tab TO export_rec.
ENDIF.
If you are trying to fetch data from the internal table I_T_TAB &
append the export parameter EXPORT_REC then you should use the READ statement.
READ TABLE i_t_tab WITH KEY key = import_ parameter
and import_param_date between from_date and to_date.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
  MOVE-CORRESPONDING i_t_tab TO export_rec.
  APPEND export_rec.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps!
