Coding in Update Rules accessing a Z-Table

Question

Hi,
I have a datarecord that looks as follows:
0MATERIAL:                     1000
ZMC (Manufacturing Company)      03
ZFAC (Facility ID)               16
ZSHIP (Total Shipments)         500 Units
<b>There is a Z-Table in R/3 (ZPLANT) that maps ZMC and ZFAC to R/3 Plants (ZPLANT).</b>
Assuming this Z-Table is available in BW <b>what would the  coding in the update rules into a Cube  look like to do that mapping?</b>
Thanks again
Christian

dear Christian,
try use start routine, assume the table in bw is zplant and has fields zmc and zfac ...
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line -
TABLES: zplant.
DATA: l_tabix like sy-tabix,
it_plant like zplant occurs 0 with header line.
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -
fill the internal tables "MONITOR" and/or "MONITOR_RECNO",
to make monitor entries
data : it_data_package like DATA_PACKAGE occurs 0 with header line.
first select the master data to internal table, this to
avoid each time has to fetch from database table for
single record, for better performance
select * from zplant
into table it_plant.
if table zplant has high volume data, you can use for * select * from zplant
into table it_plant.
all entries
for all entries in data_package
where material ? = data_package-material.
loop at data_package.
l_tabix = sy-tabix.
move-corresponding DATA_PACKAGE to it_data_package.
read it_plant with key [field name e.g zplant] = it_data_package-[/bic/zplant] BINARY SEARCH
if more key add it_data_package-[fieldname] - without * AND
if sy-subrc = 0.
it_data_package-/bic/zmc = it_plant-zmc.
it_data_package-/bic/zfac = it_plant-zfac.
modify data_package from it_data_package index l_tabix.
endif.
endloop.
take a look some sample code
