Offset in Select Query

Question

Hi,
Can we use offset in select statement. I was trying to compare the year and month of MBEWH table with the LINV table. MBEWH has seperate fields for year and month but LINV table has a date field.
TYPES:BEGIN OF TY_MBEWH,
        lfgja type lfgja,
        lfmon type lfmon,
      END OF TY_MBEWH.
Data: T_MBEWH TYPE TABLE OF TY_MBEWH,
      WA_MBEWH TYPE TY_MBEWH.
Select MBEWHLFGJA MBEWHLFMON
        INTO TABLE T_MBEWH FROM MBEWH INNER JOIN LINV
       ON MBEWHMATNR = LINVMATNR
       where MBEWHBWKEY = LINVWERKS
             and  MBEWHLFGJA >= *LINVIDATU(4)*
             and  MBEWH~LFMON > LINV.IDATU+4(2).
When I execute the above code Iam getting "Field LINV~IDATU is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a DATA statement.
Best Regards
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
  Try it this way:
W_YEAR  = LINV-IDATU+0(4).
W_MONTH = LINV-IDATU+4(2).
Select MBEWH~LFGJA MBEWH~LFMON
INTO TABLE T_MBEWH FROM MBEWH INNER JOIN LINV
ON MBEWH~MATNR EQ LINV~MATNR
where MBEWH~BWKEY EQ LINV~WERKS
and MBEWH~LFGJA GE W_YEAR
and MBEWH~LFMON GT W_MONTH.
With luck,
Pritam.
