How to check whether a value is empty in ABAP Sql

Select matnr from mara where
MARA~LVORM is null
Basically if LVORM is blank, i.e., not popoulated, I want to get matnr.
Will above query accomplish this in ABAP OPEN SQL.

Hi,
LVORM column is defined as a NOT NULL column.. so the values will be either a initial value (space, in this case) or filled with some value
SELECT matnr
INTO TABLE t_matnr
FROM mara
WHERE LVORM = space.

try,
rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
boolean b = false;
if( b = rs.next() ) {
while( b ) {
//... rs.getXXX( YYY );
b = rs.next();
else {
//...empty rs processing
or,
ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
if(rs.next()) {
do {
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
} while(rs.next());
} else {
System.out.println('empty result set');
but I usually avoid using do...while although this may be an exception.

How can we check whether a ResultSet is EMPTY or NOT ?

i'm getting some data inside ResulSet (using JDBC inside Servlet).
now i want to redirect response according to ResultSet...., if ResultSet is EMPTY then on diff page, else on different page...
how can i check whether a ResultSet is empty or not...
i've used next() , wasNull() methods ,,, but not solving the purpose...
thanx in advance...

What you could do is to ask the database fora
record count and check that for zero.
How?????You just do an SQL statement but instead of the list of fields after SELECT you put
SELECT count(*) FROM ...... WHERE .....
That returns a single integer value into the resultset giving the number of matching records currently in the database.
The trouble is you can't be certain that when you subsequently access the records the number won't have changed, because databases are generally accessible to more than one process at a time and some other process might add or delete a record between counting and retrieving or, for that matter, during the process of retrieval.
Also the count is likely to take more time than just doing rs.next() and seeing if you get a record.
Since you seem to be in a servlet environment you should consider doing the database query and the first rs.next() at the top of the servlet/JSP that presents the results and, if there are no records, using getServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(...).forward(request, response) to swich to your error page if it returns false.
So the stucture looks like:
rs = stmt.executeQuery(......);
if(!rs.next())
      getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/noresultspage.jsp").forward(request, response);
else {
     do   {
         .... display result data
      } while(rs.next());
    }

How to check if all values from a dataset has come to an internal table

How to check if all values from a dataset has come to an internal table ?

Hi,
After OPEN DATASET statement check if sy-subrc = 0 if its success then proceed with split statement and save the dataset values into a internal table and while debugging the internal table you will find that whether all values get into internal table.
Checking sy-subrc after OPEN DATASET statement is must to fill up the values in the internal table.
For e.g.
OPEN DATASET p_inpfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    WRITE :/ 'No such input file' .
    EXIT.
ELSE.
READ DATASET p_inpfile INTO loc_string.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR loc2.
*Spliting fields in the file-
        REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '#' IN wa_string WITH ' '.
       SPLIT wa_string AT const INTO loc2-pernr
                                       loc2-werks
                                       loc2-persk
                                       loc2-vdsk1.
Hope you get some idea.

How to check whether campaign has been uploaded to online server

Hi,
How to check whether campaign has been uploaded to online server by using SQL analyzer
Thanks,
Rasheed

Hi Rasheed,
To quickly check if the campaign has been uploaded from MSA to the server, you can check the TR_STATUS column on the SMOPCCAMPN table for your campaign, if the value is P000 or P*** then it has been uploaded to the server and is waiting for confirmation, if the status is O, it has been uploaded and created in the server.

How to check whether ESBAgentListener listener is started or not for ESBSys

Hi Jogdand ,
You can get the PO total value change form the PO business Object BUS2201 attribute POTotalValueIncreased .
Below code sample decribes how to get the BO attribute values
1. INCLUDE <swfcntn01>.
2. Create an instance of the BO by calling the macro and passing the three parameter.
swf_create_object <po bor object> <BUS2201> <po_guid>
3. Get the PO attribute by calling macro
swf_get_property <po BOR object> < 'POTotalValueIncreased' > < lv_pototalvalueincreased>
OR
You can query the table BBP_PDHGP and get the original Value of the PO and call the FM BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL to get the new Value of the PO. Check the difference and if there is any difference then the PO value is changed.
I hope this will be very useful.
