Filling temporary table with two other tables.

Question

Hi everyone,
In an start routine, I would like to do the following :
read values in an internal table, save it in temporary table tab1.
read values in an internal table (the same with a different request) and save it in temporary table tab2.
save with no duplicate keys and in a sorted table tab3 the result of the two tables.
I have coded like this, but it doesn't work, since the final table is empty.
Indeed, the system says it is tried to insert a duplicate key. How is it possible using instruction INSERT ?
    DATA : t_agence_1 TYPE SORTED TABLE OF ty_agence
                   WITH UNIQUE KEY /BIC/C_AGENCE2
                   WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA : t_agence_2 TYPE SORTED TABLE OF ty_agence
                   WITH UNIQUE KEY /BIC/C_AGENCE2
                   WITH HEADER LINE.
    DATA : t_agence TYPE SORTED TABLE OF ty_agence
                   WITH UNIQUE KEY /BIC/C_AGENCE2
                   WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM /BIC/PC_AGENCE2
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_agence_1
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN DATA_PACKAGE
           WHERE CALMONTH = DATA_PACKAGE-CALMONTH
           AND /BIC/C_AGENCE2 = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/C_AG1
           AND objvers = 'A'.
     IF sy-subrc = 0.
       INSERT LINES OF t_agence_1 INTO TABLE t_agence.
     endif.
   SELECT * FROM /BIC/PC_AGENCE2
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_agence_2
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN DATA_PACKAGE
           WHERE CALMONTH = DATA_PACKAGE-CALMONTH
           AND /BIC/C_AGENCE2 = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/C_AG2
           AND objvers = 'A'.
   IF sy-subrc = 0.
          INSERT LINES OF t_agence_2 INTO TABLE t_agence.
   endif.
Thanks if you can help !
regards

Answer 1

Shanon,
You would handle the parent with two child tables exactly the same way you would a parent with one child.
1) Bring in all 3 tables through the Database Expert.
2) On the Links Tab, place the parent table on the left of the window and the two child tables to the right (yes there is a reason for doing this).
3) Delete any CR generated links between the tables.
4) "Draw" a link that starts from the parent table to the 1st child table and then again, from the parent to the 2nd child.
a. I'm assuming that you know which fields to link on.
b. No links between children.
5) Once you have both links in place right click them and change the "Link Type" to "Left Outer Join"
a. The reason for doing this: It allows ALL of the parent records to come through, even if they do not have any matching records in
one or both of the child tables.
Hope this helps,
Jason
