Hi,
in ABAP you can write "native SQL" of your database system within tags :
  EXEC SQL.
    " Your MSSQL code here
  ENDEXEC.
Than here you can use everything you want .. an index hint or etc.
But this code works only for that database system. If the database will change someday
this code can not be used.
So the best way is using Open SQL of ABAP.
if you want to use an index go to se11 open your table than click "indexes" button to display secondary indexes
and display fields in that indexes.
Use this fields in your select statement on topmost of WHERE clause with the same sequence in index.
I hope it helps.
