Hi,
In order to read from Cluster DB Table use the following statement:
Syntax
IMPORT <f1> [ TO  < g1 > ] <f2> [TO < g2 >] ...
FROM DATABASE <dbtab>(<ar>)
[CLIENT <cli>] ID <key>|MAJOR-ID <maid> [MINOR-ID <miid>].
This statement reads the data objects specified in the list from a cluster in the database <dbtab>.
You must declare <dbtab> using a TABLES statement. If you do not use the TO <gi> option, the
data object <fi> in the database is assigned to the data object in the program with the same
name. If you do use the option, the data object <fi> is read from the database into the field <gi>.
For <ar>, enter the two-character area ID for the cluster in the database. The name <key>
identifies the data in the database. Its maximum length depends on the length of the name field
in <dbtab>.
The CLIENT <cli> option allows you to disable the automatic client handling of a client-specific cluster database, and specify the client yourself. The addition must always come directly after the name of the database.
For Eg:
PROGRAM SAPMZTS3.
TABLES INDX.
DATA: BEGIN OF JTAB OCCURS 100,
COL1 TYPE I,
COL2 TYPE I,
END OF JTAB.
IMPORT ITAB TO JTAB FROM DATABASE INDX(HK) ID 'Table'.
WRITE: / 'AEDAT:', INDX-AEDAT,
/ 'USERA:', INDX-USERA,
/ 'PGMID:', INDX-PGMID.
SKIP.
WRITE 'JTAB:'.
LOOP AT JTAB FROM 1 TO 5.
WRITE: / JTAB-COL1, JTAB-COL2.
ENDLOOP.
