For all entries in source package merge

Question

Hi experts,
I have one question regarding statement for all entries in source package where …..
Explanations:
Let’s say that my source package contains 2 types of data:
-type1
-type2
I would like to use the statement select from table into internal table
For all entries in source package
But the where statement changes depending on the data type (2 keys when data type is 1 and only 1 key when data type is 2) .
So that would be:
Type1:
Select fields
From table into internal table
Where field1 = source_package-field1
And field2 = source_package-field2.
Type2:
Select fields
From table into internal table
Where field1 = source_package-field1
How can I merge them?
Thanks.

Hi Amine,
Didn't try that before but there are some idea for you to reference.
I assume source_packet have a field which indicate the data type which call source_packet-dtype
1) Write SQL like this... (Notes: never try that, not sure if it will work)
Select fields
From table into internal table
Where ( source_packet-dtype = 1 and field1 = source_package-field1 and field2 = source_package-field2 )
OR ( source_packet-dtype = 2 and field1 = source_package-field1 ).
2) Try to split the source_packet into 2 itab, one contain type 1 and another contain type 2 data and then read with 2 sql and merge with appending key word, but this idea assume the record will be difference
Select fields
From table into internal table
Where field1 = itab_type1-field1
And field2 = itab_type1-field2.
Select fields
From table APPENDING internal table
Where field1 = itab_type2-field1
BTW, you may have better luck in the ABAP space.

Bill
