    Hi,
    If u will use in ALV means  how many tables u want u can put it. After that u can maintain one internal table that's enough. Afterthat  put select queries after that display the internal table fileds.
    If u will ALV  report means u have to code same coding for every report slight changes only there.
    Herewith i am sending sample ALV REPORT it is useful for u.

  • Import internal table from query to report

    Hi,
    I have to import an internal table% G00 with its contents from a query in a custom report. I use the import statement but I do not acknowledgment the table. You can help me.
    thanks

    Hi,
    standard program behind the query does not have any EXPORT statement statement behind it so it does not make sense to IMPORT. It'll never IMPORT.
    You can use the following way:
        SUBMIT (report_name) USING SELECTION-SCREEN <sel_screen_number> EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
    and then use
      CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
        TABLES
          listobject = list_tab
        EXCEPTIONS
          not_found  = 1
          OTHERS     = 2.
      IF sy-subrc = 0 AND list_tab IS NOT INITIAL.
       CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FREE_MEMORY'.
          CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
            TABLES LISTOBJECT = list_tab
                          LISTASCI   = output.
         FREE MEMORY ID '%_LIST'.
      ENDIF.
    output is your output table.

  • Internal Table dynamic query

    Hello,
    I have an internal table which needs to be queried with set of attributes which change dynamically. How can I do it?
    Eg: Internal Table i_tab contains attributes a,b,c,d,e etc... Now I should extract a single line from the table based based on the values I supply for the attributes.
    Say if I give a=23 b='' c='abc' d='' e=''. Then the query should be able to return be the line where all the initial field attributes (here in this case b,d, and e) should not be considered for the query.
    It shoud be
    read table i_tab with key a= 23 c='abc'.
    The next time a query can be shooted with the foll values
    a='' b='SAP' c='ERP' d='' e=''.
    Then the query shd be
    read table i_tab with key b= 'SAP' c='ERP'.
    In short can I get the functionality of the "select statement dynamic search string"?
    select * from tab where ( search string ) .
    and search string would be generated dynamically based on the inputs?
    I would be really thankful if you can provide me an immediate answer.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sandhya

    I think one of the simplest way is to define ranges for the variables a, b, c, d and e.
    ranges : r_a for a, r_b for b...r_e for e.
    refresh : r_a, r_b, r_c, r_d, r_e. 
    clear :  r_a, r_b, r_c, r_d, r_e. 
    if a is not initial.
       r_a-sign = 'I'.
       r_a-option = 'EQ'.
       r_a-low = value.
       append r_a.
    endif.
    ....similarly build for b, c, d and e.
    Loop at itab.
      check itab-a in r_a.
      check itab-b in r_b.
      check itab-e in r_e.
      move-corresponding itab to <b>urval</b>.
      exit.
    endloop.

    Hi,
    If you use INTO CORRESPONDING then the fieldname in the internal table has to match the selecting field name..
    To avoid this you can use INTO TABLE...
    SELECT LIKPVBELN LIKPERNAM LIPSWERKS LIPSNTGEW LIPS~GEWEI

  • Internal table - select if in range ?

    Hello ABAP Experts,
    I have a internal i_gl_account table which has some of the following fields:
    glacctfrom, glacctto, flag
    i have to select a record from this internal table based on a fixed gl_account_fix.
    i cannot write this statement
    read table i_gl_account with key
               glacctfrom >= gl_account_fix
               glacctto <= gl_account_fix
    since read does not allow the '>' or '<' operators.
    one alternative possible is:
    loop i_gl_account.
      if ( glacctfrom >= gl_account_fix and
           glacctto <= gl_account_fix).
      exit.
      endif.
    endloop.
    This solutions, lookups at each and every record one by one and then does the if comparisions. Incase the i_gl_account is large then this is huge cost and processing.
    wondering if there is any other possible method of achieving the same with lesser processing and cost.
    Any suggetions are appreciated.
    Thanks,
    BWer

    You could also something simular to this sample program.  If know that the start point is in the table.  Here the program is reading the first line where the start value is =,  then it is reading each line after that untill it reaches the end point.  But it is not reading the entire internal table.

          end of itab.
    itab-field1 = 'A'.
    itab-field2 = '1'.
    itab-field3 = '001'.
    append itab.
    itab-field1 = 'A'.

  • Nested Tables select query soooooo slow

    I know that varrays are supposed to be used for small arrays. But, we are comparing nested tables to varrays and two table joins. Nested table query is unimaginably ,unacceptably slow.
    Is there anybody else out there who experienced the same thing. Are there ways to speed up the select queries.(besides indexes)

    If you try to use nested sql statement. Please be sure to setup the index to some specific tables inside oracle
    Doing this will speed up your performance about 5 ~ 9 times original.

    i just want to know that is this way of fetching the data into internal table okay ?are there any better ways of fetching the data into the internal table ? why  is it looping in work area of lips, why not in likp?
    (plz dont use field-symbols or oo abap or macros) I WANT TO USE PLAIN AND SIMPLE ABAP STATEMENTS LIKE ABOVE..
    By using "vbeln type lips-vbeln" are we refering to the field or data element? plz suggest.
    P.S.           [my approach was to inner join likp and lips into itab(my internal table).
    select data from kna1, vbak,vbap,vbrp into respective internal tables like it_kna1,it_vbak etc.
    then using individual loops into the tables, i would use read table to insert data into itab(my final internal table) plz suggest which method wud be more efficient? ]

    ok i am posting the select queries once again.
    i want to know why are we looping in t_lips and why not t_likp? bcoz tlikp is the header table, if we loop thru it and then read the rest tables then what will be the problem? plz clarify with examples._
    [my idea was to loop at t_likp then read t_lips.append the lips data into t_order(main internal table).then do read table on t_kna1,t_vbap etc indexing t_order. so plz suggest whether my approach was write or wrong?if wrong why?plz site any other ways of doing this query.
    types: begin of ty_vbap,

    does the declaration statement in types refer to tables or data elements? what is the difference if we declare it like:

    Ways of Performance Tuning
    1.     Selection Criteria
    2.     Select Statements
    •     Select Queries
    •     SQL Interface
    •     Aggregate Functions
    •     For all Entries
    Select Over more than one internal table
    Selection Criteria
    1.     Restrict the data to the selection criteria itself, rather than filtering it out using the ABAP code using CHECK statement. 
    2.     Select with selection list.
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
      CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
             SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list
    SELECT  CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
      WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
                  SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    Select Statements   Select Queries
    1.     Avoid nested selects
    SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
      SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
          WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
      ENDSELECT.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
    SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
        FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
          ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
    Note: A simple SELECT loop is a single database access whose result is passed to the ABAP program line by line. Nested SELECT loops mean that the number of accesses in the inner loop is multiplied by the number of accesses in the outer loop. One should therefore use nested SELECT loops only if the selection in the outer loop contains very few lines or the outer loop is a SELECT SINGLE statement.
    2.     Select all the records in a single shot using into table clause of select statement rather than to use Append statements.
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
      CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
             SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list and puts the data in one shot using into table
    SELECT  CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
      WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
                  SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    3.     When a base table has multiple indices, the where clause should be in the order of the index, either a primary or a secondary index.
    To choose an index, the optimizer checks the field names specified in the where clause and then uses an index that has the same order of the fields. In certain scenarios, it is advisable to check whether a new index can speed up the performance of a program. This will come handy in programs that access data from the finance tables.
    4.     For testing existence, use Select.. Up to 1 rows statement instead of a Select-Endselect-loop with an Exit. 
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
      UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code is more optimized as compared to the code mentioned below for testing existence of a record.
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
        WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
      EXIT.
    ENDSELECT.
    5.     Use Select Single if all primary key fields are supplied in the Where condition .
    If all primary key fields are supplied in the Where conditions you can even use Select Single.
    Select Single requires one communication with the database system, whereas Select-Endselect needs two.
    Select Statements SQL Interface
    1.     Use column updates instead of single-row updates
    to update your database tables.
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO SFLIGHT_WA.
      SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC =
        SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC - 1.
      UPDATE SFLIGHT FROM SFLIGHT_WA.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    UPDATE SFLIGHT
           SET SEATSOCC = SEATSOCC - 1.
    2.     For all frequently used Select statements, try to use an index.
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
      WHERE CARRID = 'LH'
        AND CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
      WHERE MANDT IN ( SELECT MANDT FROM T000 )
        AND CARRID = 'LH'
        AND CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    3.     Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably.
    Bypassing the buffer increases the network considerably
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100 INTO T100_WA
      BYPASSING BUFFER
      WHERE     SPRSL = 'D'
            AND ARBGB = '00'
            AND MSGNR = '999'.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100  INTO T100_WA
      WHERE     SPRSL = 'D'
            AND ARBGB = '00'
            AND MSGNR = '999'.
    Select Statements  Aggregate Functions
    •     If you want to find the maximum, minimum, sum and average value or the count of a database column, use a select list with aggregate functions instead of computing the aggregates yourself.
    Some of the Aggregate functions allowed in SAP are  MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, COUNT, COUNT( * )
    Consider the following extract.
                Maxno = 0.
                Select * from zflight where airln = ‘LF’ and cntry = ‘IN’.
                 Check zflight-fligh > maxno.
                 Maxno = zflight-fligh.
                Endselect.
    The  above mentioned code can be much more optimized by using the following code.
    Select max( fligh ) from zflight into maxno where airln = ‘LF’ and cntry = ‘IN’.
    Select Statements  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)
    Points to be must considered FOR ALL ENTRIES
    •     Check that data is present in the driver table
    •     Sorting the driver table
    •     Removing duplicates from the driver table
    Consider the following piece of extract
              Loop at int_cntry.
      Select single * from zfligh into int_fligh
      where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
      Append int_fligh.
                          Endloop.
    The above mentioned can be more optimized by using the following code.
    Sort int_cntry by cntry.
    Delete adjacent duplicates from int_cntry.
    If NOT int_cntry[] is INITIAL.
                Select * from zfligh appending table int_fligh
                For all entries in int_cntry
                Where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
    Endif.
    Select Statements Select Over more than one Internal table
    1.     Its better to use a views instead of nested Select statements.
    SELECT * FROM DD01L INTO DD01L_WA
      WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
            AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM DD01T INTO DD01T_WA
        WHERE   DOMNAME    = DD01L_WA-DOMNAME
            AND AS4LOCAL   = 'A'
            AND AS4VERS    = DD01L_WA-AS4VERS
            AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be more optimized by extracting all the data from view DD01V_WA
    SELECT * FROM DD01V INTO  DD01V_WA
      WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
            AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
    ENDSELECT
    2.     To read data from several logically connected tables use a join instead of nested Select statements. Joins are preferred only if all the primary key are available in WHERE clause for the tables that are joined. If the primary keys are not provided in join the Joining of tables itself takes time.
    SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
      SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
          WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
      ENDSELECT.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
    SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
        FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
          ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
    3.     Instead of using nested Select loops it is often better to use subqueries.
    SELECT * FROM SPFLI
      INTO TABLE T_SPFLI
      WHERE CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
        AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F
        INTO SFLIGHT_WA
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_SPFLI
        WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
          AND CARRID = T_SPFLI-CARRID
          AND CONNID = T_SPFLI-CONNID
          AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be even more optimized by using subqueries instead of for all entries.
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F INTO SFLIGHT_WA
        WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
          AND EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM SPFLI
                         WHERE CARRID = F~CARRID
                           AND CONNID = F~CONNID
                           AND CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
                           AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK' )
          AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
    ENDSELECT.
    1.     Table operations should be done using explicit work areas rather than via header lines.
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X‘ BINARY SEARCH.
    IS MUCH FASTER THAN USING
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'.
    If TAB has n entries, linear search runs in O( n ) time, whereas binary search takes only O( log2( n ) ).
    2.     Always try to use binary search instead of linear search. But don’t forget to sort your internal table before that.
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'. IS FASTER THAN USING
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY (NAME) = 'X'.
    3.     A dynamic key access is slower than a static one, since the key specification must be evaluated at runtime.
    4.     A binary search using secondary index takes considerably less time.
    5.     LOOP ... WHERE is faster than LOOP/CHECK because LOOP ... WHERE evaluates the specified condition internally.
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA WHERE K = 'X'.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code is much faster than using
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
      CHECK WA-K = 'X'.
    ENDLOOP.
    6.     Modifying selected components using “ MODIFY itab …TRANSPORTING f1 f2.. “ accelerates the task of updating  a line of an internal table.
    WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
    MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1 TRANSPORTING DATE.
    The above code is more optimized as compared to
    WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
    MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1.
    7.     Accessing the table entries directly in a "LOOP ... ASSIGNING ..." accelerates the task of updating a set of lines of an internal table considerably
    Modifying selected components only makes the program faster as compared to Modifying all lines completely.
    e.g,
    LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
      I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
      IF I = 0.
        <WA>-FLAG = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code works faster as compared to
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
      I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
      IF I = 0.
        WA-FLAG = 'X'.
        MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    8.    If collect semantics is required, it is always better to use to COLLECT rather than READ BINARY and then ADD.
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA1.
      READ TABLE ITAB2 INTO WA2 WITH KEY K = WA1-K BINARY SEARCH.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        ADD: WA1-VAL1 TO WA2-VAL1,
             WA1-VAL2 TO WA2-VAL2.
        MODIFY ITAB2 FROM WA2 INDEX SY-TABIX TRANSPORTING VAL1 VAL2.
      ELSE.
        INSERT WA1 INTO ITAB2 INDEX SY-TABIX.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code uses BINARY SEARCH for collect semantics. READ BINARY runs in O( log2(n) ) time. The above piece of code can be more optimized by
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      COLLECT WA INTO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    SORT ITAB2 BY K.
    COLLECT, however, uses a hash algorithm and is therefore independent
    of the number of entries (i.e. O(1)) .
    9.    "APPEND LINES OF itab1 TO itab2" accelerates the task of appending a table to another table considerably as compared to “ LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP.”
    APPEND LINES OF ITAB1 TO ITAB2.
    This is more optimized as compared to
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    10.   “DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES“ accelerates the task of deleting duplicate entries considerably as compared to “ READ-LOOP-DELETE-ENDLOOP”.
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB COMPARING K.
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    READ TABLE ITAB INDEX 1 INTO PREV_LINE.
    LOOP AT ITAB FROM 2 INTO WA.
      IF WA = PREV_LINE.
        DELETE ITAB.
      ELSE.
        PREV_LINE = WA.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    11.   "DELETE itab FROM ... TO ..." accelerates the task of deleting a sequence of lines considerably as compared to “  DO -DELETE-ENDDO”.
    DELETE ITAB FROM 450 TO 550.
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    DO 101 TIMES.
      DELETE ITAB INDEX 450.
    ENDDO.
    12.   Copying internal tables by using “ITAB2[ ] = ITAB1[ ]” as compared to “LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP”.
    ITAB2[] = ITAB1[].
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    REFRESH ITAB2.
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    13.   Specify the sort key as restrictively as possible to run the program faster.
    “SORT ITAB BY K.” makes the program runs faster as compared to “SORT ITAB.”
    Internal Tables         contd…
    Hashed and Sorted tables
    1.     For single read access hashed tables are more optimized as compared to sorted tables.
    2.      For partial sequential access sorted tables are more optimized as compared to hashed tables
    Hashed And Sorted Tables
    Point # 1
    Consider the following example where HTAB is a hashed table and STAB is a sorted table
    DO 250 TIMES.
      N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
      READ TABLE HTAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    This runs faster for single read access as compared to the following same code for sorted table
    DO 250 TIMES.
      N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
      READ TABLE STAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    Point # 2
    Similarly for Partial Sequential access the STAB runs faster as compared to HTAB
    LOOP AT STAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
    ENDLOOP.
    This runs faster as compared to
    LOOP AT HTAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
    ENDLOOP.

    Ways of Performance Tuning
    1.     Selection Criteria
    2.     Select Statements
    •     Select Queries
    •     SQL Interface
    •     Aggregate Functions
    •     For all Entries
    Select Over more than one Internal table
    Selection Criteria
    1.     Restrict the data to the selection criteria itself, rather than filtering it out using the ABAP code using CHECK statement. 
    2.     Select with selection list.
    Points # 1/2
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
      CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
             SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list
    SELECT  CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
      WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
                  SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    Select Statements   Select Queries
    1.     Avoid nested selects
    2.     Select all the records in a single shot using into table clause of select statement rather than to use Append statements.
    3.     When a base table has multiple indices, the where clause should be in the order of the index, either a primary or a secondary index.
    4.     For testing existence , use Select.. Up to 1 rows statement instead of a Select-Endselect-loop with an Exit. 
    5.     Use Select Single if all primary key fields are supplied in the Where condition .
    Point # 1
    SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
      SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
          WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
      ENDSELECT.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
    SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
        FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
          ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
    Note: A simple SELECT loop is a single database access whose result is passed to the ABAP program line by line. Nested SELECT loops mean that the number of accesses in the inner loop is multiplied by the number of accesses in the outer loop. One should therefore use nested SELECT loops  only if the selection in the outer loop contains very few lines or the outer loop is a SELECT SINGLE statement.
    Point # 2
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA.
      CHECK: SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
             SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below which avoids CHECK, selects with selection list and puts the data in one shot using into table
    SELECT  CARRID CONNID FLDATE BOOKID FROM SBOOK INTO TABLE T_SBOOK
      WHERE SBOOK_WA-CARRID = 'LH' AND
                  SBOOK_WA-CONNID = '0400'.
    Point # 3
    To choose an index, the optimizer checks the field names specified in the where clause and then uses an index that has the same order of the fields . In certain scenarios, it is advisable to check whether a new index can speed up the performance of a program. This will come handy in programs that access data from the finance tables.
    Point # 4
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
      UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code is more optimized as compared to the code mentioned below for testing existence of a record.
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK INTO SBOOK_WA
        WHERE CARRID = 'LH'.
      EXIT.
    ENDSELECT.
    Point # 5
    If all primary key fields are supplied in the Where condition you can even use Select Single.
    Select Single requires one communication with the database system, whereas Select-Endselect needs two.
    Select Statements           contd..  SQL Interface
    1.     Use column updates instead of single-row updates
    to update your database tables.
    2.     For all frequently used Select statements, try to use an index.
    3.     Using buffered tables improves the performance considerably.
    Point # 1
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO SFLIGHT_WA.
      SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC =
        SFLIGHT_WA-SEATSOCC - 1.
      UPDATE SFLIGHT FROM SFLIGHT_WA.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    UPDATE SFLIGHT
           SET SEATSOCC = SEATSOCC - 1.
    Point # 2
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
      WHERE CARRID = 'LH'
        AND CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    SELECT * FROM SBOOK CLIENT SPECIFIED INTO SBOOK_WA
      WHERE MANDT IN ( SELECT MANDT FROM T000 )
        AND CARRID = 'LH'
        AND CONNID = '0400'.
    ENDSELECT.
    Point # 3
    Bypassing the buffer increases the network considerably
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100 INTO T100_WA
      BYPASSING BUFFER
      WHERE     SPRSL = 'D'
            AND ARBGB = '00'
            AND MSGNR = '999'.
    The above mentioned code can be more optimized by using the following code
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM T100  INTO T100_WA
      WHERE     SPRSL = 'D'
            AND ARBGB = '00'
            AND MSGNR = '999'.
    Select Statements       contd…           Aggregate Functions
    •     If you want to find the maximum, minimum, sum and average value or the count of a database column, use a select list with aggregate functions instead of computing the aggregates yourself.
    Some of the Aggregate functions allowed in SAP are  MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, COUNT, COUNT( * )
    Consider the following extract.
                Maxno = 0.
                Select * from zflight where airln = ‘LF’ and cntry = ‘IN’.
                 Check zflight-fligh > maxno.
                 Maxno = zflight-fligh.
                Endselect.
    The  above mentioned code can be much more optimized by using the following code.
    Select max( fligh ) from zflight into maxno where airln = ‘LF’ and cntry = ‘IN’.
    Select Statements    contd…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)
    Points to be must considered FOR ALL ENTRIES
    •     Check that data is present in the driver table
    •     Sorting the driver table
    •     Removing duplicates from the driver table
    Consider the following piece of extract
    Loop at int_cntry.
           Select single * from zfligh into int_fligh
    where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
    Append int_fligh.
    Endloop.
    The above mentioned can be more optimized by using the following code.
    Sort int_cntry by cntry.
    Delete adjacent duplicates from int_cntry.
    If NOT int_cntry[] is INITIAL.
                Select * from zfligh appending table int_fligh
                For all entries in int_cntry
                Where cntry = int_cntry-cntry.
    Endif.
    Select Statements    contd…  Select Over more than one Internal table
    1.     Its better to use a views instead of nested Select statements.
    2.     To read data from several logically connected tables use a join instead of nested Select statements. Joins are preferred only if all the primary key are available in WHERE clause for the tables that are joined. If the primary keys are not provided in join the Joining of tables itself takes time.
    3.     Instead of using nested Select loops it is often better to use subqueries.
    Point # 1
    SELECT * FROM DD01L INTO DD01L_WA
      WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
            AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM DD01T INTO DD01T_WA
        WHERE   DOMNAME    = DD01L_WA-DOMNAME
            AND AS4LOCAL   = 'A'
            AND AS4VERS    = DD01L_WA-AS4VERS
            AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be more optimized by extracting all the data from view DD01V_WA
    SELECT * FROM DD01V INTO  DD01V_WA
      WHERE DOMNAME LIKE 'CHAR%'
            AND DDLANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.
    ENDSELECT
    Point # 2
    SELECT * FROM EKKO INTO EKKO_WA.
      SELECT * FROM EKAN INTO EKAN_WA
          WHERE EBELN = EKKO_WA-EBELN.
      ENDSELECT.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above code can be much more optimized by the code written below.
    SELECT PF1 PF2 FF3 FF4 INTO TABLE ITAB
        FROM EKKO AS P INNER JOIN EKAN AS F
          ON PEBELN = FEBELN.
    Point # 3
    SELECT * FROM SPFLI
      INTO TABLE T_SPFLI
      WHERE CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
        AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F
        INTO SFLIGHT_WA
        FOR ALL ENTRIES IN T_SPFLI
        WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
          AND CARRID = T_SPFLI-CARRID
          AND CONNID = T_SPFLI-CONNID
          AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
    ENDSELECT.
    The above mentioned code can be even more optimized by using subqueries instead of for all entries.
    SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F INTO SFLIGHT_WA
        WHERE SEATSOCC < F~SEATSMAX
          AND EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM SPFLI
                         WHERE CARRID = F~CARRID
                           AND CONNID = F~CONNID
                           AND CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'
                           AND CITYTO = 'NEW YORK' )
          AND FLDATE BETWEEN '19990101' AND '19990331'.
    ENDSELECT.
    1.     Table operations should be done using explicit work areas rather than via header lines.
    2.     Always try to use binary search instead of linear search. But don’t forget to sort your internal table before that.
    3.     A dynamic key access is slower than a static one, since the key specification must be evaluated at runtime.
    4.     A binary search using secondary index takes considerably less time.
    5.     LOOP ... WHERE is faster than LOOP/CHECK because LOOP ... WHERE evaluates the specified condition internally.
    6.     Modifying selected components using “ MODIFY itab …TRANSPORTING f1 f2.. “ accelerates the task of updating  a line of an internal table.
    Point # 2
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X‘ BINARY SEARCH.
    IS MUCH FASTER THAN USING
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'.
    If TAB has n entries, linear search runs in O( n ) time, whereas binary search takes only O( log2( n ) ).
    Point # 3
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY K = 'X'. IS FASTER THAN USING
    READ TABLE ITAB INTO WA WITH KEY (NAME) = 'X'.
    Point # 5
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA WHERE K = 'X'.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code is much faster than using
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
      CHECK WA-K = 'X'.
    ENDLOOP.
    Point # 6
    WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
    MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1 TRANSPORTING DATE.
    The above code is more optimized as compared to
    WA-DATE = SY-DATUM.
    MODIFY ITAB FROM WA INDEX 1.
    7.     Accessing the table entries directly in a "LOOP ... ASSIGNING ..." accelerates the task of updating a set of lines of an internal table considerably
    8.    If collect semantics is required, it is always better to use to COLLECT rather than READ BINARY and then ADD.
    9.    "APPEND LINES OF itab1 TO itab2" accelerates the task of appending a table to another table considerably as compared to “ LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP.”
    10.   “DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES“ accelerates the task of deleting duplicate entries considerably as compared to “ READ-LOOP-DELETE-ENDLOOP”.
    11.   "DELETE itab FROM ... TO ..." accelerates the task of deleting a sequence of lines considerably as compared to “  DO -DELETE-ENDDO”.
    Point # 7
    Modifying selected components only makes the program faster as compared to Modifying all lines completely.
    e.g,
    LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <WA>.
      I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
      IF I = 0.
        <WA>-FLAG = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code works faster as compared to
    LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA.
      I = SY-TABIX MOD 2.
      IF I = 0.
        WA-FLAG = 'X'.
        MODIFY ITAB FROM WA.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    Point # 8
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA1.
      READ TABLE ITAB2 INTO WA2 WITH KEY K = WA1-K BINARY SEARCH.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        ADD: WA1-VAL1 TO WA2-VAL1,
             WA1-VAL2 TO WA2-VAL2.
        MODIFY ITAB2 FROM WA2 INDEX SY-TABIX TRANSPORTING VAL1 VAL2.
      ELSE.
        INSERT WA1 INTO ITAB2 INDEX SY-TABIX.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    The above code uses BINARY SEARCH for collect semantics. READ BINARY runs in O( log2(n) ) time. The above piece of code can be more optimized by
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      COLLECT WA INTO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    SORT ITAB2 BY K.
    COLLECT, however, uses a hash algorithm and is therefore independent
    of the number of entries (i.e. O(1)) .
    Point # 9
    APPEND LINES OF ITAB1 TO ITAB2.
    This is more optimized as compared to
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    Point # 10
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ITAB COMPARING K.
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    READ TABLE ITAB INDEX 1 INTO PREV_LINE.
    LOOP AT ITAB FROM 2 INTO WA.
      IF WA = PREV_LINE.
        DELETE ITAB.
      ELSE.
        PREV_LINE = WA.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    Point # 11
    DELETE ITAB FROM 450 TO 550.
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    DO 101 TIMES.
      DELETE ITAB INDEX 450.
    ENDDO.
    12.   Copying internal tables by using “ITAB2[ ] = ITAB1[ ]” as compared to “LOOP-APPEND-ENDLOOP”.
    13.   Specify the sort key as restrictively as possible to run the program faster.
    Point # 12
    ITAB2[] = ITAB1[].
    This is much more optimized as compared to
    REFRESH ITAB2.
    LOOP AT ITAB1 INTO WA.
      APPEND WA TO ITAB2.
    ENDLOOP.
    Point # 13
    “SORT ITAB BY K.” makes the program runs faster as compared to “SORT ITAB.”
    Internal Tables         contd…
    Hashed and Sorted tables
    1.     For single read access hashed tables are more optimized as compared to sorted tables.
    2.      For partial sequential access sorted tables are more optimized as compared to hashed tables
    Hashed And Sorted Tables
    Point # 1
    Consider the following example where HTAB is a hashed table and STAB is a sorted table
    DO 250 TIMES.
      N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
      READ TABLE HTAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    This runs faster for single read access as compared to the following same code for sorted table
    DO 250 TIMES.
      N = 4 * SY-INDEX.
      READ TABLE STAB INTO WA WITH TABLE KEY K = N.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    Point # 2
    Similarly for Partial Sequential access the STAB runs faster as compared to HTAB
    LOOP AT STAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
    ENDLOOP.
    This runs faster as compared to
    LOOP AT HTAB INTO WA WHERE K = SUBKEY.
    ENDLOOP.

    Hello Everybody!
    Thank you for all your response!
    I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
    I had created a Z table with the following fields :
    ZADS :
    MANDT
    VKORG
    ABGRU.
    I had written a select query as below :
    I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table 
    select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
    Earlier :

    How have you defined your itab ?
    You query looks perfectly ok , even if you use vbeln or vbelv it wont matter , it depends on the requirement.
    So have you defined your itab correctly ?
    for example :
    data : begin of itab occurs 0,
             vbeln like vbrk-vbeln,
             kunag like vbrk-kunag,
             netwr like vbrk-netwr,
             ntgew like vbrp-ntgew,
             matnr like vbrp-matnr,
             erdat like vbfa-erdat,
             end of itab.
    regards,
    Advait
