Create a variable for user input entry to act as i/p to anothr variable

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement in my report where i have two variables one is user entry called "A" the a other user exit "B" and the query is based on an ods.
<b>
Scenario:</b> If the user were to enter a string  XXX in A, i need to do a search on certain columns in ODS and store the corresponding keys (single column) in an internal table and the internal table column will act as multiple single values for variable B .
<b>Questions:</b>
1. How to get  the value entered in A.(so i can do select statement on ODS table).
2. In the select statement we need to specify FROM table, so what would the ods table name be.
3. How to store the values from the select statement into the internal table.
4.How to populate the values in internal table into variable B.
5.Once all this is done i need to reset the variable A to empty.
p.s: ABAP code for any of the following would be highly appreciated.

hi Karthik,
1.  you can try
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'varA'.
              l_var = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
2. ods table name = /bic/a[odsname]00 or /bi0/a[odsname]00
3. use select .... from... into table ...
4. loop at that internal table and populate as sample code
5. try to create a RKF with restriction to variable A, and hide this keyfigure,
    not use in reporting.
hope this helps.
Populating material numbers from a table to customer exit bex variable
tables : /bic/azods00.
DATA: it_ods like /bic/azods00 occurs 0 with header line.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
WHEN 'varB'.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
      LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
              WHERE VNAM = 'varA'.
              l_odsfield = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
SELECT * FROM /bi INTO TABLE it_ods
WHERE odsfield = l_odsfield.
loop at it_ods.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = it_ods-fieldselected.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'EQ'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
endloop.
      ENDLOOP.
