Hi,
I have an input field for Material number , and this is used in a join to fetch data , my problem is some times user will enter material number as 456* , in this case how can i change the query.
Please see the join,

                      into corresponding fields of table it_data2
                      from mard as d inner join mvke as m
                      on dmatnr = mmatnr
                      inner join mara as r
                      on rmatnr = dmatnr
                      inner join makt as k
                      on kmatnr = dmatnr
                      *where d~matnr= lv_matnr*
                      and d~werks in r_plant

Hi,
Use this:
select d~matnr as material d~werks as plant d~lgort as slocation d~umlme d~labst r~meins k~maktx as descr
into corresponding fields of table it_data2
from mard as d inner join mvke as m
on d~matnr = m~matnr
inner join mara as r
on r~matnr = d~matnr
inner join makt as k
on k~matnr = d~matnr
where d~matnr like '456%'
and d~werks in r_plant
and m~vkorg in r_sales.
