Left outer join using anyOfAllowingNone

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to join two tables (tableA and tableB) with left outer join using anyOfAllowingNone (One to many relationship) and try to fetch the tableB data with some constraint on it.
But the sql generated out of the expression builder is not a proper left join, it actually forms a inner join, which brings only table A data which satisfies all the condition. Actually I want all of tableA data and for every record from tableA I want the data from TableB which matches the key from tableA to tableB and some condition applied on tableB data.
I guess I'm doing some thing wrong, I went through the document and sample but still its not getting me the right data.
Below is my expression builder:
exp = builder.get("tableA_K").equal(some value);
exp = exp.and(builder.get("effectiveIn").toChar("MM/dd/yyyy").lessThanEqual(date));
exp = exp.and(builder.get("effectiveOut").toChar("MM/dd/yyyy").greaterThanEqual(date));
exp1 = builder.anyOfAllowingNone("tableBCollectionAttribute").get("effectiveIn").toChar("MM/dd/yyyy").lessThanEqual(date);
exp1 = exp1.and(builder.anyOfAllowingNone("tableBCollectionAttribute").get("effectiveOut").toChar("MM/dd/yyyy").greaterThanEqual(date));
return exp.and(exp1);
Below is the sample query generated:
select distinct tableA.all data
where (((((tableA.key = 2219785)
and (to_char(tableA.EFFECTIVE_IN_S, 'MM/dd/yyyy') <= '03/27/2008'))
and (to_char(tableA.EFFECTIVE_OUT_S, 'MM/dd/yyyy') >= '03/27/2008'))
and ((to_char(tableB.EFFECTIVE_IN_S, 'MM/dd/yyyy') <= '03/27/2008')
and (to_char(tableB.EFFECTIVE_OUT_S, 'MM/dd/yyyy') >= '03/27/2008')))
and (tableB.key (+) = tableA.tableB_Key))
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Sai.

hi Mansi,
this is how i populate
SELECT VGBEL LFIMG POSNR VBELN FROM LIPS INTO  TABLE IT_delv  FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_VBAP WHERE VGBEL = IT_VBAP-VBELN.
LOOP AT IT_delv INTO WA_delv.
WA_FINAL-VBELN_1 = WA_DELV-VBELN_1.
WA_FINAL-LFDAT =   WA_DELV-LFDAT.
WA_FINAL-LFIMG   = WA_DELV-LFIMG.
WA_FINAL-POSNR2 =   WA_DELV-POSNR2..
APPEND WA_FINAL TO IT_FINAL.
CLEAR: WA_FINAL , WA_delv.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT IT_FINAL INTO WA_FINAL.
READ TABLE IT_vbap INTO WA_vbap WITH KEY VGBEL = WA_FINAL-VBELN.
  WA_FINAL-VBELN = WA_VBAP-VBELN.
WA_FINAL-MATNR = WA_VBAP-MATNR.
WA_FINAL-KWMENG = WA_VBAP-KWMENG.
WA_FINAL-NETWR = WA_VBAP-NETWR.
MODIFY IT_FINAL FROM WA_FINAL.
ENDLOOP.
My question is , it_vbap has 5 five records A,B,C,D,E.
in it_delv ,there are 20 record corrresponding to A,B,D of IT_VBAP.
in final table i wont get info of recors B,E. I want those info also in final table ..how can i do that...
