Performance Query and transaction KO8G

Question

Hi everybody, can u help me with a one problem?
I have a Query CO23, the query 2 months ago, worked perfectly, now the query never ends, I run in mode background , after that I need to run the transaction KO8G that 2 months ago worked perfectly, before the transaction run time was of 1 minute, today the run time is the fours hours, what can be the problem??
Code of CO23:
zamt_1 = 0.
zamt_2 = 0.
%z_0004 = 0.
select AUFKAUART AUFKAUFNR AUFKBUKRS AUFKOBJNR AUFK~WERKS
COVP~GJAHR
COVPKSTAR COVPLEDNR COVPOBJNR COVPORGVG COVP~PERIO
       COVPVERSN COVPVRGNG COVPWERKS COVPWOGBTR COVP~WRTTP
AFIHAUFNR AFIHILOAN ILOA~ILOAN
into (AUFK-AUART , AUFK-AUFNR , AUFK-BUKRS , AUFK-OBJNR , AUFK-WERKS ,
COVP-GJAHR , COVP-KSTAR , COVP-LEDNR , COVP-OBJNR
     , COVP-ORGVG , COVP-PERIO , COVP-VERSN , COVP-VRGNG , COVP-WERKS ,
COVP-WOGBTR , COVP-WRTTP , AFIH-AUFNR , AFIH-ILOAN
     , ILOA-ILOAN )
from ( AUFK
       inner join COVP
       on COVPOBJNR = AUFKOBJNR
       inner join AFIH
       on AFIHAUFNR = AUFKAUFNR
       inner join ILOA
       on ILOAILOAN = AFIHILOAN )
       where AUFK~AUART in zauart
         and AUFK~AUFNR in zaufnr
         and AUFK~BUKRS in zbukrs
         and AUFK~WERKS in zwerks
         and COVP~GJAHR in zgjahr
         and COVP~KSTAR in zkstar
         and COVP~LEDNR in zlednr
         and COVP~PERIO in zperio
         and COVP~VERSN in zversn
         and COVP~WRTTP in zwrttp.
check zauart.
  check zaufnr.
  check zbukrs.
  check zwerks.
  check zgjahr.
  check zkstar.
  check zlednr.
  check zperio.
  check zversn.
  check zwrttp.
  amt_1 = 0.
  amt_2 = 0.
   if covp-orgvg0(2) = 'KO' or covp-vrgng0(2) = 'KO'.
  Actuals Settlements
      amt_2 = amt_2 + covp-wogbtr.
  else.
  Actuals
      amt_1 = amt_1 + covp-wogbtr.
  endif.
  negocio = 'CABEZAS'.
  if covp-werks = '5000'.
     negocio = 'BLOCKS'.
  endif.
   %Z_0003 = AMT_1 + AMT_2 .
  T01-AUART = AUFK-AUART.
  T01-AUFNR = AUFK-AUFNR.
  add AMT_1 to T01-AMT_1.
  add AMT_2 to T01-AMT_2.
  add %Z_0003 to T01-%Z_0003.
  collect t01.
  clear t01-AMT_1.
  clear t01-AMT_2.
  clear t01-%Z_0003.
ENDSELECT.
I did a new report with this code but is the same.
Regards
Thanks

Hi
Do not use SELECT .. ENDSELECT. Always download data to internal table and then loop at this internal table.
Instead of using COVP (which is a view and doesn't have any index) use tables COEP and COBK (if necessary). COEP has an index on the OBJNR field so the search will be faster.
I think this should do the trick. If not then we'll think of something else.
