Defaulting variable in select query

Hi Experts,
I am having some different requirement here like, while selecting data from a table, for some column need to deafult some constant value for all lines if the actual value in the DB table has no value. There are some aggregate results like MAX( [DISTINCT] col ), MIN( [DISTINCT] col )...COUNT( * ) (or count(*)) , But there is nothing as such to fill constant value in query time it self while selecting data.
Do help me if any one come across such a like.
Ex:
   Normal code we write:
   SELECT carrid connid cityfrom cityto
       FROM spfli
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa.
     WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-connid, wa-cityfrom, wa-cityto.
   ENDSELECT.
   Required code need to write:
SELECT NVL(e.carrid,1000) connid cityfrom cityto
       FROM spfli
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF wa.
WRITE: / wa-carrid, wa-connid, wa-cityfrom, wa-cityto.
ENDSELECT.
Thanks in advance.
Mohan.

Hi Mohan
As per my knowledge, we do not have the provision of the function that you are looking in ABAP as we have only 5 aggregate functions. Below are the same for your reference.
1. MAX
2. MIN
3. AVG
4. SUM
5. COUNT
I can understand your concern on the performance, but i guess there is not other way to go. Since you need to modify only one field, you can try with a logic similar to the below one:
SELECT carrid connid cityfrom cityto
FROM spfli
INTO TABLE itab.
wa-carrid = '1000'.
MODIF itab FROM wa TRANSPORTING carrid WHERE carrid IS INITIAL.
I guess this should be even better than modifying in the SELECT itself...
Hope this helps...
Kind Regards

How to store data in a variable in select query

Hi,
Below is the select query in which i want to store the data in variable but i am getting runtime error as the fields are more as compared to variable,the declaration is necessary for it due to the reteriving for data.
Please provide me guidelines how to do it.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITSC01 OCCURS 0,
      PRUEFLOS LIKE QALS-PRUEFLOS,
      MBLNR LIKE QAMB-MBLNR,
      LGORT LIKE MSEG-LGORT,
      END OF ITSC01.
IF STIT-MGEIG GE 0.

    SELECT A~PRUEFLOS B~MBLNR C~LGORT FROM QALS AS A
           INNER JOIN QAMB AS B ON B~PRUEFLOS = A~PRUEFLOS

DYNAMIC VARIABLE IN SELECT QUERY

hi all,
i m selecting a belnr from one table and want to fire another query on different table wherein this belnr falls somewhere in middle of the whole field.
eg: wa-belnr = 4000
select * from cdhdr where
objectclass = '%wa-belnr%.
i want to select records which contains this belnr.
but %wa-belnr% doesnt work.
pls suggest if theres any solution.

Hi,
select * from cdhdr where
objectclass = '%wa-belnr%.
In the above query use LIKE instead of '='.
Also instead of %wa-belnr% Use like this
<b>DATA: str type string.
concatenate '%' wa_belnr '%' into str.
select * from cdhdr where
objectclass LIKE str.</b>

Select Query Problem

Hi Experts,
I am having a select query in which I am using a variable in the where condition but it is giving error. Please suggest how to use variable in the select query.
The query I am using is a s below.
select * from zexc_rec into table it_ZEXC_REC
      where
       LIFNR in S_LIFNR and
      DOCNO in S_DOCNO and
      DOCTYP in doc_typ and
      DATE1 in S_DATE1 and
      MATNR in S_MATNR.
Here doc_typ is a variable.
Thanks.

Rahul,
use RANGES type variable instead of variable . It acts as a select-options variable. Thn use this variable in SELECT query with IN.
Eg :
RANGES r_t510 FOR t510-lgart.
    r_t510-low = '1600'.
    APPEND r_t510.
    r_t510-low = '3190'.
    APPEND r_t510.
Note : can be use SIGN, OPTIONS properties too in RANGES type.
More deatils go through on HELP of RANGES

How to set default value in select option for ABAP query

Hi experts,
What is the way to set up default values for select-options in ABAP query.
e.g.
I have one field 'Year' in my ABAP query selection screen.
I want value of current year to be appeared here whenever user execute report
Thanks in Advance
-Harkamal

Hi Harkamal,
execute your Query via SQ01. On Selection-Screen
goto save Variant. Mark your field
as selection variable an press Button election variable.
Take variable from TVARV and use it.
Than save the Variant.
Look at TVARV if the 'Year' is updated to the actualYear!

User exit variable I_STEP=1 does not show default value WebI selection scr

Hello,
We have a BW query with a user exit variable. We have written user exit code under I_STEP = 1 so that the default value for the field is displayed on the selection screen to the user. Works very well on the BW side.
We based a universe on top of the query and then created a WebI report.
When the WebI report is executed the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen,
Note:
1. If the user exit variable is optional and we execute the report, the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen. However if the report is executed without entering any value for the field the logic under I_STEP = 1 is picked up and the report gets the correct output
1. If the user exit variable is mandatoryand we execute the report, the default value is NOT seen on the selection screen. The user now has to enter the value for the field.
The scheduled reports will work in case of optional user exit variable.
However this amounts to loss of functionality.
Is this a known bug?
Is there a way to display default values based on user exit variables on the WebI selection screen?
Kindly advice. Btw we are on XI 3.1 SP3

Personalization and Default values in selection screen variables

Hi everyone,
I have certain questions regarding Front end part:-
1)     Can we have multiple personalizations for a single user in Web templates; I know it is quite possible in BEx using Variants. Is there any such approach or any other solutions regarding it?
2)     In our project we had a range selection screen customer exit variable on 0CALMONTH, which is showing a default value of 07.2007 to 09.2007, although we have removed the default values from the query variable and also checked the customer exits where it is used, but still its showing the value. We cant delete and recreate the variable as such, as it is used in number of function module. Also these values are also transported to Quality system, where also its showing the same value.
Did anyone face such a situation before?
Eagerly waiting for a solution.....
Thanks in advance

Hi Chiran,
Please try with following approach for multiple   personalizations for a single user in Web templates.
While Defining Variable Choose the Option Copy personalization data from variable .
The Features of above approach is as follows.
1)It will personalize variable values for Input Variables for each user.
2)These values are saved for each variable as well as for user.
3) At the time of defining variable it will allow us to enter one or more default values.All these values are appear in the variable screen when u execute the query or Web Application.
So you can see the variable values in web also.Just try with this approach.
May be it will resove u r issue some extent.
Regarding u r Second Query Just try with Some tables, all the default values entries were saved in those tables. Delete default values from those entries.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandu.

How to edit the properties for existing variables in BEX query, so that I can get multiple input selections

Dear fellow developers,
I'm trying to edit an existing variable using BEX query, so that it can allow multiple input selections.
As you can see in the screenshot attached, the option is selectable during creation.
However, during editing of an existing field, this field (Details -> Basic Settings -> Variable Represents) is not selectable.
Does anyone knows why, and how to remedy this?

Yes you can do it at the table level.
Go to SE11 enter table name as RSZGLOBV.
Enter the technical name of variable in VNAM field..You need to change the value in VPARSEL column.
Please make sure to get the where used list of this variable so that you can know the impact,if something goes wrong.
Also change it in DEV and then transport across the landscape.
PS:Same thing has been described in this blog as well

Select query with variable no of conditions

Hi,
I want to write a select query such that the conditions mentioned under WHERE clause can be variable .like :
Select * from TABLE where F1 = var1 and F2 = var2 and F3 = var3.
Now on the basis of some conditons the equations in where clause should be used.Say condition is variable value >6.
Now in this case ,if
var1 =7 var2 =3 var3 = 8 then the query shud behave like
select * from TABLE where F1 = var1 and F3 = var3
if :
var1 =3 var2 = 4 var3 =3 the :
select * from TABLE
But only one query is to be wrote that satisfies all of these
thanx
Edited by: aachal on Feb 4, 2011 11:36 AM

Hi Aachal,
Use Dynamic select statement.
Ex:
data : lv_wherecond type string.
Select * from TABLE where ( lv_wherecond ).
Before Select stmt, code as follows.
if var1 > 6.
       if lv_wherecond is initial.
          F1 = var1.
       else.
          concatenate lv_wherecond ' and F1 = var1' into lv_wherecond.
       endif.
elseif var 2 > 6.
        if lv_wherecond is initial.
           F2 = var2
        else.
           concatenate lv_wherecond ' and F2 = var2' into lv_wherecond.
       endif.
elseif var3 > 6.
      same as above ..
endif.
Hope it helps..

How to execute a select query stored in variable

Hello helpers ,
I have some "select queries" stored in the database . Now I can derive this query in some variable . How do I execute this query from the variable .
example :
Data Query type char50 .
QueryVar = 'Select MATNR from MBEW where BWKEY = '0001' . '
How do I execute this Query stoored in variable QueryVar in ABAP program ?
Thanks a lot for helping .
Regards
Shashank

Shashank,
It is also possible to use (column_syntax) and (dbtab_syntax) together with (cond_syntax) when using SELECT statements in ABAP. For more info on (column_syntax) and (dbtab_syntax) just have a quick look at ABAP Keyword documention on SELECT statement (hit F1 on SELECT then scroll down to Select->Select result->Select Columns....)
So in your case, you need to separate out (split) the value in 'wa_itab-query' into other variables or append into separate internal tables using common keys etc. - then looping at those tables with the common key (READ TABLE WITH KEY....) use the following syntax at the time of triggering the SELECT query:
SELECT (column_syntax)
       FROM (dbtab_syntax)
       WHERE (cond_syntax).
Also worth a look at this example below:
PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom,
            p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto.
DATA: BEGIN OF wa,
         fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,
         carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,
         connid   TYPE spfli-connid,
       END OF wa.
DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa
               WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid.
DATA: column_syntax TYPE string,
      dbtab_syntax TYPE string.
column_syntax = `c~carrname p~connid f~fldate`.
dbtab_syntax = `( ( scarr AS c `
& ` INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON p~carrid = c~carrid`
& ` AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr`
& ` AND p~cityto   = p_cityto )`
& ` INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON f~carrid = p~carrid `
& ` AND f~connid = p~connid )`.
SELECT (column_syntax)
       FROM (dbtab_syntax)
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab.
LOOP AT itab INTO wa.
WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps.

How to Run a Select Query stored in a Variable

Hello,
I have a following requirement:
Result of one select query on Var1 , result of other select query in Var2 ,
if Va2 = 'value11' OR Var2 = 'Value2' then Var1 = 'select query'. Now how can I run this SQL query at the end of the Pl/SQL?
so I'm writing following query for the same:
DECLARE
qry nvarchar2(500);
result nvarchar2(500);
BEGIN
select 'select TEXTVAL as "CHARG" FROM TABLE1 WHERE LOC =''[ParameterValue]'' and KEYNAME =''<<REPLACE>>''' INTO qry from dual;
SELECT CASE WHEN count(RW."CountofBATCH") > 1 then 'Mixing'
WHEN count(RW."CountofMAT") = 0 then 'None'
ELSE 'Other'
END
INTO result
FROM TABLENAME2 TT, XMLTable('/Rowsets/Rowset/Row' PASSING TT.XMLCOL
COLUMNS
"CountofBATCH" PATH '/Row[CLABS > 0]/CHARG',
"CountofMAT" PATH '/Row[MATNR = "[Parameter Value]"]/MAT'
) AS RW
where
TT.PL = '[Parameter Value]' and
TT.TANK = '[Parametr Value]' ;
IF result = 'Mixing' OR result = 'None' THEN
qry := replace( qry , '<<REPLACE>> ' , result);
else
qry := 'Nothing';
END IF;
This way the variable qry will have select statement. Now How can I run this qry variable to get the output of that select statement in the same query?

you can use execute immediate if the output of the query is in the single query.
that is very simple.
have the query in the signle string and then pass like this
declare
qry varchar2(255);
result varcharf2(2500);
vempid number :=1;
begin
qry:='select empname from emp where empid=:empid';
execute immediate qry into result using vempid;
-----now the data result is in result
end;

Select query using variable

Hi all,
If I have a variable with multiple value (returned from bulk collect), how can I pass it into a select query as a condition?
Eg.
set serveroutput on
declare
type v_LockSessInfo is table of integer;
empdata v_LockSessInfo;
begin
select unique sid bulk collect into empdata from v$lock;
[select sid,serial#,username from v$session where sid in (empdata)]
end;
I hope to be able to pass in the variable collected, into the next select statement. How can I achieve it?
Thanks in advance.
Eugene

Sorry for any confusion caused, I have almost 0 knowledge on pl/sql, only can survie on normal sql query.
Further elaboration, the intention of my query is to query out any locking that exists in my DB. It meant to serve as a report to management, so I have to break it down into couple of sections for easier reference (minimising the complication that may arise from others who view the report).
Couple of steps/procedures I am thinking of:
1) query out the unique sid that exists in v$lock (blocking and blocked sessions) <<< this set of returned record (SIDs) should be stored in a variable.
Eg. achived by the select statement "select unique sid from v$lock into [variable]"
2) query v$sessions for the lock details from step 1's output. Username, sid, serial#, machine etc.
Eg. To be achieved by "select sid,serial#...... from v$session where sid in [variable]; Same condition applies to 2 and 3.
3) query v$locked_object to identify which are the blocking/blocked sessions, and who's blocking who from step 1's output.
4) query the locked object and locked record (based on rowid locked) from step 1's output.
This is all that I can think of at the moment. Any opinions that can perform the above activity will be appreciated alot. Hope I'm able to clear up any confusion triggered.
PS: I can't re-query the SID as the SID may change or be lost upon the re-query therefore losing any evident. Thus I was thinking of putting it into a variable for consistent querying for step 2,3 and 4. All 4 steps will be performed within a single script.
Regards
Eugene
