'FOR ALL ENTRIES' in SELECT statements

Hi,
I got a doubt in working of the 'FOR ALL ENTRIES' option in the SELECT statement. Here is my scenarion.
Table A - Document Header Level (Key: Doc Number)
Internal Table B - Document Item level (Keys: Doc num and Doc Item).
So, for each record in Table A, table B will have multiple records.
In this situation, how the below SELECT will work.
SELECT <field names> INTO <some internal table>
                     FROM A
                     FOR ALL ENTRIES in B
                     WHERE doc_num = B-doc_num.
Will the above SELECT result in duplicate records or not?
(I tested it and found that it doesn't! I was lil surprised and wanted to confirm that)
Thanks & Regards,
Sree

Hi,
For all entries option basically sorts out the entries in the internal tbale based on the where condition and thus it only picks the unique entries based on the list.
so indeed your table A is a header one so it will give you only single value. if you go by the reverse way where in look for B for all entries in A it will give you multiple values as table B has multiple values for each value in A.

What is the use of for all entries in select statement

what is the use of for all entries in select statement

hi,
FOR ALL ENTRIES is an effective way of doing away with using JOIN on two tables.
You can check the below code -
SELECT BUKRS BELNR GJAHR AUGDT
FROM BSEG
INTO TABLE I_BSEG
WHERE BUKRS = ....
SELECT BUKRS BELNR BLART BLDAT
FROM BKPF
INTO TABLE I_BKPF
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_BSEG
WHERE BUKRS = I_BSEG-BUKRS
AND BELNR = I_BSEG-BELNR
AND BLDAT IN SO_BLDAT.
*******************************8
look another example
what is the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES
1. INNER JOIN
DBTAB1 <----
> DBTAB2
It is used to JOIN two DATABASE tables
having some COMMON fields.
2. Whereas
For All Entries,
DBTAB1 <----
> ITAB1
is not at all related to two DATABASE tables.
It is related to INTERNAL table.
3. If we want to fetch data
from some DBTABLE1
but we want to fetch
for only some records
which are contained in some internal table,
then we use for alll entries.
1. simple example of for all entries.
2. NOTE THAT
In for all entries,
it is NOT necessary to use TWO DBTABLES.
(as against JOIN)
3. use this program (just copy paste)
it will fetch data
from T001
FOR ONLY TWO COMPANIES (as mentioned in itab)
4
REPORT abc.
DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
bukrs LIKE t001-bukrs,
END OF itab.
DATA : t001 LIKE TABLE OF t001 WITH HEADER LINE.
itab-bukrs = '1000'.
APPEND itab.
itab-bukrs = '1100'.
APPEND itab.
SELECT * FROM t001
INTO TABLE t001
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
WHERE bukrs = itab-bukrs.
LOOP AT t001.
WRITE :/ t001-bukrs.
ENDLOOP.
Hope this helps!

Duplicate entries missing using for all entries in select query.

Hi Gurus,
Is there any way to avoid missing duplicate entries in an internal table if you use for all entries in select statement?
Note : i am selecting two tables using non key fields and i have to aggregate the data. I want only 2 data fields and one amount field in my final internal table. I can add all the primary key fields into my internal table and collect my required fields in another table, but I just want to know is there any other way to avoid missing duplicate entries without adding all the key fields?
Regards,
Raghavendra

Hi,
Just check what are the other possible fields in the table which may be having
duplicate entries and make use of them in the selection accordingly.
You may not miss any entries unless there is any restriction on them.
You can better judge that in debugging mode while selecting data from that table.

Joins And For all Enteries in Select Statement

Could you please tell me when there is a high amount of data which is being handled in the table, does the use of INNER JOINS and FOR ALL ENTERIES in SELECT Statement decreases the system performance? ?
Can you also let me know where can i get some tips regarding do's and dont's for ABAP Programming, I want to increase my system performance.
Currently the programs which are being used are taking a lot of time for execution...
Its very URGENT!

Hai Jyotsna
Go through the following Tips for improving Performence
For all entries
The for all entries creates a where clause, where all the entries in the driver table are combined with OR. If the number of entries in the driver table is larger than rsdb/max_blocking_factor, several similar SQL statements are executed to limit the length of the WHERE clause.
The plus
Large amount of data
Mixing processing and reading of data
Fast internal reprocessing of data
Fast
The Minus
Difficult to program/understand
Memory could be critical (use FREE or PACKAGE size)
Some steps that might make FOR ALL ENTRIES more efficient:
Removing duplicates from the driver table
Sorting the driver table
If possible, convert the data in the driver table to ranges so a BETWEEN statement is used instead of and OR statement:
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_tab
                  WHERE mykey >= i_tab-low and
             mykey <= i_tab-high.
Nested selects
The plus:
Small amount of data
Mixing processing and reading of data
Easy to code - and understand
The minus:
Large amount of data
when mixed processing isnt needed
Performance killer no. 1
Select using JOINS
The plus
Very large amount of data
Similar to Nested selects - when the accesses are planned by the programmer
In some cases the fastest
Not so memory critical
The minus
Very difficult to program/understand
Mixing processing and reading of data not possible

Optimizing the load of the database
Using table buffering
Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably. Note that in some cases a statement can not be used with a buffered table, so when using these statements the buffer will be bypassed. These statements are:
Select DISTINCT
ORDER BY / GROUP BY / HAVING clause
Any WHERE clause that contains a sub query or IS NULL expression
JOIN s
A SELECT... FOR UPDATE
If you wan t to explicitly bypass the buffer, use the BYPASS BUFFER addition to the SELECT clause.
Use the ABAP SORT Clause Instead of ORDER BY
The ORDER BY clause is executed on the database server while the ABAP SORT statement is executed on the application server. The database server will usually be the bottleneck, so sometimes it is better to move the sort from the database server to the application server.
If you are not sorting by the primary key ( E.g. using the ORDER BY PRIMARY key statement) but are sorting by another key, it could be better to use the ABAP SORT statement to sort the data in an internal table. Note however that for very large result sets it might not be a feasible solution and you would want to let the database server sort it.
Avoid the SELECT DISTINCT Statement
As with the ORDER BY clause it could be better to avoid using SELECT DISTINCT, if some of the fields are not part of an index. Instead use ABAP SORT + DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES on an internal table, to delete duplicate rows.

Hi Guys,
I am fetching the BUKRS GJAHR BELNR and BUZEI from BSEG table, using for all entires of BSEG data, i am getting the data from BSID table.

Hi Sankar,
if there are duplicates entries select statement will omit those records. try to include fields in the select statement which makes the selected record different from other atleast by one field.
cheers!!

Usage of FOR ALL ENTRIES in SELECT query

Hi All,
While writing SELECT query using FOR ALL ENTRIES, in the WHERE condition can we use IN operator on a range table?
Will this work out.
Thanks,

HI,
Yes you can use the in operator.
SELECT *

Want to Avoid Loop for all entries with select query !!

Hi Guru's !
This is my following code . I want to avoid loop to improve the performance of program.
data: lt_cuhd type HASHED TABLE OF /sapsll/cuhd WITH UNIQUE key guid_cuhd,
      ls_cuhd type /sapsll/cuhd.
data: lt_comments type STANDARD TABLE OF zss_comments,
      ls_comments type zss_comments.
data: lv_objkey type string.
select * from /sapsll/cuhd into table lt_cuhd.
loop at lt_cuhd into ls_cuhd.
CONCATENATE ls_cuhd-corder '%' into lv_objkey. " Example 'Mum%'
select * from zss_comments into table lt_comments
            where objkey like lv_objkey
             AND guid_cuhd = ls_cuhd-guid_cuhd
              AND event_id <> ''.
endloop.
I want
New code should be...using all entries no loop required.
*select * from zss_comments into table lt_comments
            where objkey like lv_objkey
             AND guid_cuhd = ls_cuhd-guid_cuhd
              AND event_id <> ''.*

why dont you add the object key also to lt_cuhd and once you fetch the data to lt_cuhd loop it and add the '%'
when looping use field symbols so that you dont have to use modify.
then use for all entries using lt_cuhd
i don't you can find a better way to add the % mark apart from looping but by this way only one select query will be done for
zss_comments
Thanks

For all entries in read statement

hi
is there any command equivalent to for all entries in read statement

Hi,
You have to use Loop at...and move the values from the it_vbrp to the final internal table..
Example
LOOP AT IT_OUTPUT.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING IT_OUTPUT TO IT_FINAL.
LOOP AT IT_VBRP WHERE AUBEL = IT_OUTPUT-VBELN
                                AND     AUPOS = IT_OUTPUT-POSNR.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING IT_VBRP TO IT_FINAL.
      APPEND IT_FINAL.
ENDLOOP.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    APPEND IT_FINAL.
ENDIF.

hi Jyotirmoy,
The explanation below can give u an idea of wat is going in ur code..
Use of FOR ALL Entries
Outer join can be created using this addition to the where clause in a select statement. It speeds up the performance tremendously, but the cons of using this variation are listed below
Duplicates are automatically removed from the resulting data set. Hence care should be taken that the unique key of the detail line items should be given in the select statement.
If the table on which the For All Entries IN clause is based is empty, all rows are selected into the destination table. Hence it is advisable to check before-hand that the first table is not empty.
If the table on which the For All Entries IN clause is based is very large, the performance will go down instead of improving. Hence attempt should be made to keep the table size to a moderate level.
Not Recommended
            Loop at int_cntry.
             Select single * from zfligh into int_fligh
             where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
             Append int_fligh.
            Endloop.
Recommended
            Select * from zfligh appending table int_fligh
            For all entries in int_cntry
            Where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
Thankyou,

     AND valto >= ?
     AND iptype = ?
     FOR FETCH ONLY WITH UR
This is very slow.
To speed it up, I programmatically break up the SQL using a range table:
i.e.:   WHERE ...
             AND IPPERS IN <RANGE TABLE>
    With the range table containing 1500 entries which is near the limit for IN statement. This is much faster.
The question is why with the FOR ALL ENTRIES the IN statement contains only 10 values and not the maximum allowed, is this a database config issue ?

Hi,
as Thomas said for this case rsdb/max_in_blocking_factor is the parameter in question.
And yes, Andrew, you are right, FAE parameters should not be changed system wide
since the delivered default values are those values that turned out to be the best values
in systemwide tests.
However you can increase the value on statement level with a hint. So you can have both
the FAE and a non default blocking for a specific statement.
example:
SELECT recn, recnroot, ippers
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE <ITAB1>
FROM CCIHT_IP
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <ITAB2>
WHERE ippers = <ITAB2>-ippers
AND valfr LE sy-datum
AND valto GE sy-datum
AND iptype = 'INJ'
%_hints db2 '&max_blocking_factor 500&&max_in_blocking_factor 500&u2019.
Use with care.
Kind regards,
Hermann

Using delete and FOR ALL ENTRIES

Hi,
We have a error message regarding the following code :
Delete FROM TABLE FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_TABLE WHERE
TABLE_KEY1 = LT_TABLE_KEY1
Could we use the For All entries with "Select" ?
For information, the error message is "Unable to interpret "FOR". Possible causes: Incorrect spelling or comma error.
Thank you.

Hi,
Check the below syntax, if you want to delete from database
DELETE FROM sflight
WHERE carrid = p_carrid AND
fldate = sy-datum AND
seatsocc = 0.
Just a suggestion. May be from next time you can use F1 help for syntax:
1. Place the cursor on the delete keword in your program and press F1 - You willl get all the possible syntax for delete statement
2. Else open the transaction ABAPDOCU, Click Keyword Help, Enter the required keyword(delete in this case) and press cont.. You will get the syntax.
Hope thsi will help you.

thanks&regards.

hi,
For using for all entries in below statement for all entries in itab_mara it will retrieve record corresponding fields of table itab_marc.
In this case if we have duplicate records in mara .For that also it will retrieve the value in itab_marc.
select matnr erdat from table itab_mara where matnr in s_matnr.
if not itab_mara is initial.
select matnr werks from table itab_marc for all entries of table itab_mara
                                                      where werks in s_werks and
                                                                matnr in s_matnr.

While using for all entries its ignoring details of where condition

i am using one select statement as follows
SELECT ORGVEND LOTNO INTO TABLE IT_ORG
               FROM /BAY4/IC_IN_SEED
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DATA
               WHERE LOTNO = IT_DATA-CHARG+0(9).
its showing error as below
In the use of FOR ALL ENTRIES, the long statement fur "CHARG" in this condition is ignored.
how to avoid that.
and
we are using one field called "MITTLEWERT"
we have declared it as type P decimals 2.
in report we are using one statement
SHIFT MITTELWERT LEFT DELETING LEADING ' '.
its showoing error that MITTLEWERT should be C,N,String soem thing likie that.........how to avoid that

first of all you can not use offset for for all entries which you have used in select query
SELECT ORGVEND LOTNO INTO TABLE IT_ORG
FROM /BAY4/IC_IN_SEED
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_DATA
WHERE LOTNO = IT_DATA-CHARG+0(9). " You can not use IT_DATA-CHARG+0(9).
2) field MITTLEWER you have declared as type P decimals 2.
Keep in mind that P is not character tupe it is numeric type so it will have initial values as 0 and not ' ' (space).
try below kind of code
REPORT ZTEST_UM2.
DATA: a TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE 000123 ,
      lv_with_zeros(15) TYPE c.
WRITE: a to lv_with_zeros.
WRITE lv_with_zeros.
Hope above will help u.

Read data : for all entries

wht happens if v read data using FOR ALL ENTRIES in select statement

Hi Ankur,
You can only use FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ...WHERE ...in a SELECT statement.
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab WHERE cond returns the union of the solution sets of all SELECT statements that would result if you wrote a separate statement for each line of the internal table replacing the symbol itab-f with the corresponding value of component f in the WHERE condition.Duplicates are discarded from the result set. If the internal table itab does not contain any entries, the system treats the statement as though there were no WHERE cond condition, and selects all records (in the current client).
For Example:
SELECT *
FROM SCARR
INTO TABLE t_scarr.
LOOP AT t_SCARR INTO wa_scarr.
SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM sflight
    INTO wa_sflight
   WHERE carrid EQ wa_scarr-carrid.
APPEND wa_sflight TO t_sflight.
ENDLOOP.
Instead of the Above use below code:
SELECT *
FROM SCARR
INTO TABLE t_scarr.
SELECT *
FROM SFLIGHT
INTO TABLE t_sflight
   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN scARR
WHERE carrid EQ t_scarr.
this condition, return all entries of the sflight
