Need a select statement to trim a single value out of a column

I have a column which can and does contain single and multiple values. For instance, there could be a single value, value, or it could look like this value, value, with there being a comma and a space between the two values. I need a select statement that will only and always return the value to the left or in the case of a single value with no comma, just that value. TIA

If your single value has no comma, just the value, then you need an extra DECODE to resolve that case.
SELECT DECODE(INSTR(text,','),0,text,SUBSTR(text,1,INSTR(text,',')-1))
FROM (SELECT 'value1' text
      FROM dual
      UNION
      SELECT 'value2, value3'
      TEXT from dual)TTFN

Select statement for retrieving infotype 1005 values w,r,t payscale

Hi All,

Thanks in advance

Please try it yourself first.

Hi,
Code which you have written is correct when the R_DATE is having LOW and HIGH values, if the R_DATE is having only LOW value then this will be wrong, becuse if the R_DATE is having only LOW then OPTION value is not BT is should be EQ

Displaying single value (Record) into multiple columns

Hi,
Thanks for immediate reply.
PH1, PH2, PH3, ... will go more columns based on parameter , what we are passing.An single SQL statement cannot have a dynamic number of columns based on the data itself. The projection (columns returned) have to be known before any data is fetched... and that includes some 'parameter' value.
{thread:id=2309172}
You can build a query dynamically, based on a parameter or even on the data, but 99 times out 100 people use dynamic queries where they are not needed.
Perhaps explain to us what you are really trying to achieve and why, and we could suggest some better way.

Secondary Index Select Statement Problem

Hi friends.
I have a issue with a select statement using secondary index,
SELECT SINGLE * FROM VEKP WHERE VEGR4 EQ STAGE_DOCK
                                  AND VEGR5 NE SPACE
                                  AND WERKS EQ PLANT
        %_HINTS ORACLE
        'INDEX("&TABLE&" "VEKP~Z3" "VEKP^Z3" "VEKP_____Z3")'.
given above statement is taking long time for processing.
when i check for the same secondary index in vekp table i couldn't see any DB index name with vekp~z3 or vekp^z3 or vekp____z3.
And the sy-subrc value after select statement is 4. (even though values avaliable in VEKP with given where condition values)
My question is why my select statement is taking long time and sy-subrc is 4?
what happens if a secnodary index given in select statement, which is not avaliable in that DB Table?

Hi,
> ONe more question: is it possible to give more than one index name in select statement.
yes you can:
read the documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97630_01/server.920/a96533/hintsref.htm#5156
index_hint:
This hint can optionally specify one or more indexes:
- If this hint specifies a single available index, then the optimizer performs
a scan on this index. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan or
a scan on another index on the table.
- If this hint specifies a list of available indexes, then the optimizer
considers the cost of a scan on each index in the list and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes from this list and merge the results, if such an
access path has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full
table scan or a scan on an index not listed in the hint.
- If this hint specifies no indexes, then the optimizer considers the
cost of a scan on each available index on the table and then performs
the index scan with the lowest cost. The optimizer can also choose to
scan multiple indexes and merge the results, if such an access path
has the lowest cost. The optimizer does not consider a full table scan.

How do I return the results of two SELECT statements in to one result?

I want to do this without using UNION.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
I have a table called COUNTRY with the following columns:
COUNTRY
COUNTRY_CODE
DATE_VISITED_LAST
POPULATIONI have another table called STATE_COUNTY with the following columns:
STATE_COUNTY
COUNTRY_CODE
STATE_COUNTY_CODE
DATE_LAST_VISITED
POPULATIONI have a third table called TOWN with the following columns:
TOWN
COUNTRY_CODE
STATE_COUNTY_CODE
TOWN_CODE
DATE_LAST_VISITED
POPULATIONNow through the interface I have, a user will supply a country code. I need a SELECT statement that will return a table with the following result set:
The COUNTRY_CODE entered including the DATE_LAST_VISITED and POPULATION for this country
------> All the associated STATE_COUNTY's belonging to this country along with the DATE_LAST_VISITED and POPULATION for each STATE_COUNTY_CODE.
-------------> All the associated TOWN_CODE's belonging to this state_county and country along with the DATE_LAST_VISITED and population for each TOWN.
So the table will have 9 columns:
COUNTRY
DATE_LAST_VISITED_COUNTRY
POPULATION_COUNTRY
STATE_COUNTY
DATE_LAST_VISITED_STATE_COUNTY
POPULATION_COUNTY
TOWN
DATE_LAST_VISITED_TOWN
POPULATION_TOWNAny ideas how this can be done?
Thanks.

Hi guys,
Would it be ok to do it like this (with a join):
SELECT
     c.country_code,
     c.date_last_visited AS DATE_LAST_VISITED_COUNTRY,
     c.population AS POPULATION_COUNTRY,
     s.state_county_code,
     s.date_last_visited AS DATE_LAST_VISITED_STATE_COUNTY,
     s.population AS POPULATION_COUNTY,
     t.town_code,
     t.date_last_visited AS DATE_LAST_VISITED_TOWN,
     t.population POPULATION_TOWN,
FROM
     country c
     LEFT OUTER JOIN state_county s ON s.country_code = c.country_code
     LEFT OUTER JOIN town       t ON t.country_code = s.country_code
AND                                       t.state_county_code = s.state_county_codeThe results required would be something like:
Country_Code     DATE_LAST_VISITED_COUNTRY     POPULATION_COUNTRY     STATE_COUNTY_CODE         DATE_LAST_VISITED_STATE_COUNTY         POPULATION_COUNTY     TOWN_CODE     DATE_LAST_VISITED_TOWN     POPULATION_TOWN

Select statement for JDBC receiver synch scenario for capturing random value from ECC portal

Dear Experts,
I am working on ECC <----> SAP-PO 7.31 <----> JDBC synchronous scenario. I am clear about the config part except the Select statement. I will be
capturing 2 random values from the portal i.e. VendId and VendName in ECC to get the vendor details like Vendor Country, Vendor Status, Vendor Contact , Vendor Address etc from JDBC vendor table/view VENDETAIL.
What would be the select statement to capture the random values for ECC portal? My select statement would look some thing like this..
Select f1,f2,f3,f4 from table VENDETAIL where key1 = "VendId" and "VendName"
Please suggest if the above select statement works for the above scenario...
Regards
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
Your statement should work fine.
Please see the statement we use below.
SELECT eT_cashier, eT_proc_yn, eT_proc_date FROM eTest WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'
Just remember to update the change indicator so that you dont duplicate your records.
UPDATE eTest SET eb_proc_yn = 'Y' WHERE eb_proc_yn = 'N'.

Combining two single recordset into one two column recordset

Hi Forum
Assume we have three types , each 'table of'
CREATE OR REPLACE type type1 as table of number ;
CREATE OR REPLACE type type2 as table of varchar2 (255);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TYPEVALUE AS OBJECT
(object_type number ,
object_value varchar2(255)
resultset1 type1 := type1() ;
resultset2 type2 := type2() ;
resultset3 typevalue := typeValue3() ;
I want to populate records of resultset3 from resultset1 and resultset2 , using resultset1 for first column of record and resultset2 for second column.
One way is to do for loop but I don't want to use this.
I need something similar to resultset3 to use it dynamically in select statement to do MINUS operation with another resultset . I think things like MULTISET, COLLECT, CAST can achieve what I want to do.
Can you please help me to have a select statement that combines two single column rowset and put into a two column recordset.
Thanks

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.All the work here is done in SQL so it should work similarly if you have these things defined as nested table columns in the database.
However, there is a caveat here: the lines highlighted in bold above are defining an arbitrary ordering for the nested table elements using rownum, as there is no concept of ordering within a nested table. You should change this part of the query to whatever makes sense in your environment, otherwise this solution cannot be guaranteed to be correct. Another option would be to use VARRAYs, as they will retain the order of elements.

How can we Restict the Char single value Variables with , , =

Hi Experts,
How can we Restict the Char value Variables with <, >, <= (without selecting Inverval or only passing single value)
For Example
We have a standard Query 0FIAR_C03_Q1005, in this
New Selection
"1 - 15 Days, Posting Date<=Key Date, Clearing Date>Key Date"
This is restricted with the
Clearing(0CLEAR_DATE)
<Clearing key date(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
PostingDate(0PSTNG_DATE)
<= Posting keydate(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
When seeing these 0P_KEYD3, 0P_KEYD3 variables in the New selection screen they looks like >0P_KEYD3, <=0PSTNG_DATE
if you define any custom variables these are looks like =ZV_DATE.
to enable < , >, <= symbols for variables what we need to do.
In other way
Say we created one variable ZV_DATE single value, processing type as customer exit.
for this we populated current day,
Now Requirement is we need to display the all the records which are <= current date,
instead of passing low and high values, i want to restrict the calday <=ZV_DATE
New selection
0calday
<=ZV_DATE
How can we achive this, this is how the business content report having the restrictions
Please sugget me.
Thanks

Ok,
In the InfoObject 0calday in the query designer under the filter area, under characteristic restrictions right-click over that InfoObject (0calday).
In the next window (select Values for [0CALDAY] Calendar Day in the dropdown box for "Show" choose Value Ranges. Under the word "Between" dropdown box select "Less than or equal to"
Below that word click on the button of the dropdown box Select from list.
In the new window select instead of History Variables and double-click on your variable ZV_DATE.
Click on the right blue arrow to move it to the right.
And there you go.
Tip: It exists a SAP standard variable named 0DAT which is exactly the current date (don't need to use ZV_DATE variable).

Selection in the Infopackage for multiple values...

In the Selection package of the Infopackage(full mode) , I want to restrict the selection of the data to three values out of all the values.
Is it possible.
I cant give it in the From and To , its not in sequence.
The field for which I want to select the data is Material Type.
Please let me know.
Thanks , jeetu

Hi,
You can enter multiple single valus for any field in the infopackage. Just select the row for material type and then click on the insert duplicate button ( + sign ) which is at the bottom letf hand side in the 'Data Selection' tab within the infopackage. You will usually find this 'insert duplicate' icon next to the 'Check' push button.
You can insert as many rows as you want for material type by select the material type rown and clicking on this icon. You can then enter the three values in the three rows for material type.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a variable in SEM-CPM-MC, but no matter what I do, I'm only able to create a runtime variable with selection type P - Variable for single value. I can select the other values, but when I save the variable, SAP automatically corrects it to P - Singe value again. I can also create a design variable with the other types, but not a runtime variable. How do I create a variable for which you can enter an interval/multiple single values?
In the documentation it also says, that you should be able to create variables on a frame level. I don't see any button where I can create a variable on a frame level. I've done exactly as it says on help.sap.com, but I don't have a button to create a new variable on a frame level. How do I do that?
Any help is appreciated and will be rewarded generously :o)
Thanks,
ramesh

Hi Goutham R,
As of 4.0. it was by a limitation.
I have read some where that some users were able to meet the requirement by putting a semi colon at the end of each value in a excel and feeding it to the prompt but seems like you have already tried that.
Please see if you put a vote here in this link:
Selection option variable not behaving the same way in WebI : View Idea
But I think this requirement can be met in Analysis edition for OLAP.
