Hello,
You can use a subquery
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT AS F INTO WA_SFLIGHT
    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'.
  WRITE: / WA_SFLIGHT-CARRID, WA_SFLIGHT-CONNID,
           WA_SFLIGHT-FLDATE.
ENDSELECT.
or simply query the first table and then the second table with select endselect.
select * from table a.
   select * from table b into output_table
                 where b-field1 eq a-field2.
endselect.
or read the data into one internal table loop at it and then query the other table.
