Select statement using 2 tables

Hi Experts,
In the following code, i have to select "v_likp-charg" into the "concatenate" statement.
could you please let me know, how can i do that.
help is appreciated,
code:
data: i_kna1 type t_kna1 occurs 0,
 v_kna1 type t_kna1,
 i_likp type t_likp occurs 0,
 v_likp type t_likp.
data: begin of t_kna1,
 kunnr like kna1-kunnr,
 name1 like kna1-name1,
 end of t_kna1.
data: begin of t_likp,
 matnr like likp-matnr,
 charg like likp-charg,
 kunnr like likp-kunnr,
 end of t_likp.
data: begin of v_output,
 record(500),
 end of v_ouput.
loop at i_kna1 into v_kna1.
concatenate: v_kna1-kunnr
 v_kna1-name1
i want "v_likp-charg" to be here..******
 into v_output seperated by c_tab.
append v_ouput.
thanks,

You need to make a connection to the customer master file. In this case, you will have a 1 to many relationship with KNA1 and LIKP. Do you want to output only one record for each customer number?
Assuming that you already have the v_likp internal table, you can just read it with key.
loop at i_kna1 into v_kna1.
clear v_likp.
read table i_likp into v_likp with key kunnr = v_kna1-kunnr.
concatenate: v_kna1-kunnr
v_kna1-name1
v_likp-charg
into v_output seperated by c_tab.
append v_ouput.

Need to Improve pefromance for select statement using MSEG table

Hi all,
We are using a select statement using MSEG table
which takes a very long time to run the program which is scheduled in back ground.
Please see the history below.;
1) Previously this program was using SELECT-ENDSELECT statement inside the loop i.e.
LOOP AT I_MCHB.
To get Material Doc. Details
      SELECT MBLNR
             MJAHR
             ZEILE INTO (MSEG-MBLNR,MSEG-MJAHR,MSEG-ZEILE)
             UP TO 1 ROWS
             FROM MSEG
            WHERE CHARG EQ I_MCHB-CHARG
             AND MATNR EQ I_MCHB-MATNR
             AND WERKS EQ I_MCHB-WERKS
             AND LGORT EQ I_MCHB-LGORT.
      ENDSELECT.
Endloop.
The program was taking 1 hr for 20 k data
2)The above statement was replaced by ALL ENTRIES to remove the SELECT-ENDSELECT from the loop.
***GET MATERIAL DOC NUMBER AND FINANCIAL YEAR DETAILS FROM MSEG TABLE
    SELECT MBLNR
           MJAHR
           ZEILE
           MATNR
           CHARG
           WERKS
           LGORT
               INTO TABLE I_MSEG
               FROM   MSEG
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_MCHB
               WHERE CHARG EQ I_MCHB-CHARG
               AND   MATNR EQ I_MCHB-MATNR
               AND   WERKS EQ I_MCHB-WERKS
               AND   LGORT EQ I_MCHB-LGORT.
3)After getting the further technical analysis from BASIS team , And with the suggestion to optimize the program by changing the INDEX RANGE SCAN to
       MSEG~M.
SELECT MBLNR
           MJAHR
           ZEILE
           MATNR
           CHARG
           WERKS
           LGORT
               INTO TABLE I_MSEG
               FROM   MSEG
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN I_MCHB
               WHERE MATNR EQ I_MCHB-MATNR
               AND   WERKS EQ I_MCHB-WERKS
               AND   LGORT EQ I_MCHB-LGORT.
At present the program is taking 3 to 4 hrs in back ground .
The table is complete table scan using index
MSEG~M.
Please suggest to improve the performance of this
many many thanks

The benchmark should be the join, and I can not see how any of your solutions can be faster than the join
SELECT   .....
              INTO TABLE ....
              UP TO 1 ROWS
              FROM mchb as a
              INNER JOIN mseg as b
              ON    amatnr EQ bmatnr
              AND awerks EQ bwerks
              AND algort    EQ blgort
              And   acharg EQ bcharg
              WHERE a~ ....
The WHERE condition must come from the select on MCHB, the field list from the total results
you want.
If you want to compare, must compare your solutions plus the select to fill I_MCHB.

Performance tunning for select statements using likp lips and vbrp

Dear all,
I have a report where i am using select statements using first on likp the for all entries of likp i am taking data from lips and then for all entries in lips i am taking data from vbrp by matching VGBEL and VGPOS. Now the problem is that when it fetches data from vbrp it is taking lot of time around 13mins. to fetch data from vbrp. How can i overcome the problem.

How to use a table name in the select statement using a variable?

Hi Everybody,
I got a internal table which has a field or a variable that gets me some tables names. Now I need to retrieve the data from all these tables in that field dynamically at runtime. So could you suggest me a way out to use the select query which uses this variable as a table ?
Regards,
Mallik.

Hi all,
Actually i need some more clarification. How to use the same select statement, if i've to use the tabname in the where clause too?
for ex : select * from (tab_name) where....?
Can we do inner join on such select statements? If so how?
Thanks & Regards,

SELECT statement INTO TABLE - what determines order of entries in in.table?

Hello everyone.
I habe a question: A select statement selects multiple entries from a data base table that are put into an internal table.
The question : What determines the order of the entries in the internal table?
And what might change the order all of a suddden in that internal table?
Could reorg. activities/archiving (even ongoing) cause any different result in the order as before ?
I do not mean different entries but I rather refer to the sorting of the internal table, if it is not explicitly stated in the select or in parts of the coding.
Any explaination is appreciated!
Thanks!
CN.

Hi,
Its not the order in which you specify the fields in the where clause that affects the sequence of the selection.
What I said is that by default the entries are sorted by the primary key of the table.
I did a bit of a test out of curiosity and after seeing so many different replies on the thread. I was surprised to see the results of the different scenarios.
REPORT Z_TEST_SELECTION                        .
tables vbap.
data it_vbap type table of vbap.

"s_posnr has following entries.

refresh it_vbap.
"Below two cases are absolutely unreliable and I would suggest that a

"options specify values with the in clause, the sort is not reliable.
"Strangely , neither the sequence is not determined by the order in

"the entries are selected.
" Any answeres anyone ?

select * from vbak into table it_vbak where vbeln in s_vbeln
order by vbeln descending.
" The entries were selected in the ascending order of the key VBELN and
" POSNR, so it seems that for all entries does not affect the selection of records.
select * from vbap into table it_vbap
for all entries in it_vbak
where vbeln = it_vbak-vbeln
and   posnr in s_posnr.
Of course if you change the order of the primary key (in the transparent table, not in the where clause), the entries will be sorted as per the changed key.
But we seldom change the the sequence of the primary key. In most cases we normally add a new field and make it a key field in addition to the existing key fields.
I hope this helps you.
There might be many more cases and examples than given above, which you can try and reply on this post. Lets see what we come up with.

Problem with select statement using Ranges

Hi Guys,
 I have used Ranges and used a select statement for selecting those ranges but I am facing a problem.
RANGES: r_doctyp for EDIDC-DOCTYP.
r_doctyp-sign = 'I'.
r_doctyp-option = 'EQ'.
r_doctyp-low = 'DEBMAS'.
append r_doctyp.
r_doctyp-sign = 'I'.
r_doctyp-option = 'EQ'.
r_doctyp-low = 'MATMAS'.
append r_doctyp.
r_doctyp-sign = 'I'.
r_doctyp-option = 'EQ'.
r_doctyp-low = 'PRICAT'.
append r_doctyp.
r_doctyp-sign = 'I'.
r_doctyp-option = 'EQ'.
r_doctyp-low = 'ORDERS'.
append r_doctyp.
r_doctyp-sign = 'I'.
r_doctyp-option = 'EQ'.
r_doctyp-low = 'INVOIC'.
append r_doctyp.
Select DOCNUM " IDoc number
 DOCTYP " IDoc Type
 from EDIDC into table IT_ZEDIDC
 where CREDAT EQ s_credat-low
 and DOCTYP EQ r_doctyp " IDOC Types
 and DIRECT EQ '1'.
Here my select statement is only taking INVOIC.
But my statement should take any document type.
Thanks,
Prasad.

Hi...,
Your following select statement is correct.
Select DOCNUM " IDoc number
 DOCTYP " IDoc Type
 from EDIDC into table IT_ZEDIDC
 where CREDAT IN s_credat
 and DOCTYP IN r_doctyp " IDOC Types
 and DIRECT EQ '1'.
Why you are not getting result..
1. structure of the IT_ZEDIDC is having two fields DOCNUM , DOCTYP with same data lengths. If not it should be...
2. Order in the database table is must be similer to the order you maintained in the select statement.
3. As you are hard coding the input ranges make sure about every letter.
4. take a look at other where condition fields too.
5. check the table of the ranges in debugging mode.
6. why can't you declare separate work area and table for ranges...?
like .... data: r_tab type range of <field>
 data: wa_tab like line of r_tab.
7. Use clear work area statement after the append statment.

Advice required on a select statement using "FOR ALL ENTRIES"

Hi,
this is really intresting ...
I have a small requirement where in i have to find out
the valid entries in my internal table (T_MATNR) by using a select statement to a check table (MARA) which has all the fields present in the internal table T_MATNR.
Select statement is
SELECT MATNR
 MTART
 from MARA
 for all entries in T_MATNR
 into table T_MATNR
 where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
If you observe the itab in the option 'FOR ALL ENTRIES' and the destination table is the same. I want to know whether this is correct? will it cause any performance issue? right now this statement is working fine for me.

Hi,
U have to use
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
into table I_MATNR(different table)
for all entries in T_MATNR
where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
If u r specifying both same table name then for what entries it will retrieve, if u have alreay selected some entries and appending u can use
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
into table T_MATNRwhere matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
then
SELECT MATNR
MTART
from MARA
appending table T_MATNR
for all entries in T_MATNR
where matnr eq T_MATNR-MATNR.
In this way u can do.
Hope u got it.

Select statement from tables which have now been split

I used to select from 3 tables:
user, login, location
I would do:
select distinct user.id, login.computer_id, location.id as location_id
from user, login, location
where user.id = login.user_id
and login.location_id = location.id
and user.id = "manny"
but user has now been split into user1, and user2
I want to pull data where it exists from user1 or user2.
Much of the data in user1 is duplicated in user2 and vice versa, but I want to pull only one instance where it appears so that I can still get single row results of:
ID COMPUTER_ID LOCATION_ID
mannyd redstar_1 Bronx, NY
Any ideas on the query?

Why would you split a single table into multiple tables with the same structure and much of the same data? That seems rather counterproductive.
I suppose you could do something like
select user.id, login.computer_id, location.id as location_id
from user1 user, login, location
where user.id = login.user_id
and login.location_id = location.id
and user.id = 'manny'
UNION
select user.id, login.computer_id, location.id as location_id
from user2 user, login, location
where user.id = login.user_id
and login.location_id = location.id
and user.id = 'manny'but that's obviously going to be much more expensive than the single-table approach...

As BSEG is in a cluster table RFBLG, the only index available is the primary one, so only BUKRS, BELNR and GJAHR keys are actually available. So for other criteria resolution, the program will read the whole cluster, unpacking the records and executing the selection. When most criteria come from BKPF header, you may select from BKPF and then from BSEG using the full key of the cluster, and using a [FOR ALL ENTRIES|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENOPEN_SQL_PERFO.htm] IN a table with the keys from BKPF.
Try to use one or more of the secondary indexes provide by SAP
- BSAD Accounting: Secondary Index for Customers (Cleared Items)
- BSAK Accounting: Secondary Index for Vendors (Cleared Items)
- BSAS Accounting: Secondary Index for G/L Accounts (Cleared Items)
- BSID Accounting: Secondary Index for Customers
- BSIK Accounting: Secondary Index for Vendors
- BSIM Secondary Index, Documents for Material
- BSIS Accounting: Secondary Index for G/L Accounts
These indexes are actual tables, so you may create/use indexes, they are also easily appended, as they are filled via move-corresponding statements.
Try a little search at sdn on keywords like [BSEG, cluster and performance|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_all&query=bsegclusterperformance&adv=false&sortby=cm_rnd_rankvalue].

SELECT statement using XML data taking way too long.

Hi all, I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have an issue which I find hard to describe. The server that I am using contains two test databases which are (supposed to be) identical. They both have tables named EVENTS with identical fields. I am using XML data to query and update data to this table.
When I run the SELECT in one database, against the EVENTS table it takes a long time. The longest I've kept it running is 2:30 minutes. When I run it against the EVENTS table in the other database the results are almost instantaneous. I've created a test
query to duplicate this behavior:
declare @ValidXMLInput xmlset @ValidXMLInput = '<EVENTS>
<EVENT EID="8077" EDATE="2014-07-20 10:15"
USERID="GTJ789" LOCID="7016" STATE="0" />
</EVENTS>'
SELECT Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)'),Col.value('@STATE','INT')
FROM @ValidXMLInput.nodes('//EVENTS/EVENT') Tab(Col)
left join tblEvents on
tblEvents.EvIdNum=Col.value('@EID','VARCHAR(5)') And
tblEvents.EvDate=Col.value('@EDATE','DATETIME') And
tblEvents.UserId=Col.value('@USERID','VARCHAR(8)') And
tblEvents.EvLocId=Col.value('@LOCID','VARCHAR(8)')
where tblEvents.EvIdNum Is Null
Basically, the above query returns all rows in the XML table that are not in the database table. The results are then passed on to other statements.The columns in the join are key fields for tblEvents and have a PK index for both tables (in each db).
Now the issue that I am having. When I use an EID in the XML data of any other value (as presented in the example above), such as '3477' the query runs fast on both databases; however, when I specifically use an EID of '8077' then the query slows down to
a point where it takes more than 2:30 minutes (after which I cancel the execution). This only happens with one of the databases.
For testing purposes I've created an XML structure with only one item. Both tables have approximate 111 million records. One table contains about 900K records with an EID of 8077. The other table contains about 930K records with this EID. There aren't many
differences in the data. The records with the EID of 8077 (the slow one) are for different dates, users and locations. I should also mention that although the data presented here for EID consists of number, provisions exist where the number may be prefixed
by a letter; hence the varchar designation.
My question to you all is: How can I start troubleshooting this issue? Should I be looking at indexes?
I had some doubt about this because the query is fast for other EIDs. Why would it get "stuck" with this particular one?
Any troubleshooting advice is welcomed. Thanks! Saga
Insanity is the prelude to discovery

Some thoughts:
Is there a hardware difference between the two databases ? E.g. are they on the same disk (array) ?
Is there anything else running on your server besides your SQL instance ?
Do you see spikes in I/O, CPU or both ?
Maybe there is locking on one DB that's not happening in the other.
You should check indexes and statistics plus compare estimated execution plan between the two DBs.

Getting a dumb after writing a SELECT statement at TABLE level of SMART

hi all,
i have created a RATE COMPARISON REPORT.In that Report i have to display Rate Price against RFQ No.For this purpose i have write a code at SMART FORMS in TABLE.Following are the code:
SELECT SINGLE netpr
INTO it_detail
FROM ekpo
INNER JOIN ekko ON
ekko~ebeln = ekpo~ebeln
WHERE ekko~BSTYP EQ 'F'
AND   ekko~spras eq 'E'
AND   ekpo~ebeln eq IT_DETAIL-EBELN
This code is assign with TEXT FILED at TABLE level.when i execute it i get the following dump.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CXSY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught in procedure "%CO2" "(FORM)"_,
nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
In a SELECT access, the read file could not be placed in the target field provided. Either the conversion is not supported for   the type of the target field, the target field is too small to include the value, or the data does not have the format required for the target field.
could any body tell me what is problem in my SELECT query statement after executing giving me a dump.
Thanks,
sappk25

Hi
The select query is wrong, as you should not move the single field into a table (it_detail)....
Change the query as follows...
data: v_netwr type netwr.
SELECT SINGLE netpr
INTO v_netwr
FROM ekpo
INNER JOIN ekko ON
ekkoebeln = ekpoebeln
WHERE ekko~BSTYP EQ 'F'
AND   ekko~spras eq 'E'
AND   ekpo~ebeln eq IT_DETAIL-EBEL
if sy-subrc eq 0.
move v_netwr to it_detail.
endif.
Hope this helps....

How to pass a parameter into a select statement using a bulk collect

I have modified the procedure not to use the cursor. I am using a collection using a bulk insert into a nested table. How can I specify the table the table name as a parameter without using the execute immediate statement.
Thank you

Hi Donald,
The functionality of using a parameter in a function is only available in the formula editor and not in SQL Expression. Parameters cannot be passed to the SQL Expression, the main purpose of the SQL Expression is to make use of Database functions to make calculations at the database level but the current functionality of the product only allows you to use Database fields.
There is an article that talks on SQL Expressions and can be useful http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2016184&sliceId=&dialogID=6018612&stateId=1%200%206020316

How to get accurate values for select statement using single column

Hi All,
Below is my query which runs fine
Select Distinct Top 4
FiscalYearId,
FiscalMonthOfYearId
From ODS.Common.tODS_Date
Inner Join
UTL.Utility.tUTL_ProcessDate
On tODS_Date.DateShort < tUTL_ProcessDate.ProcessDate
And tUTL_ProcessDate.DatabaseName = 'ODS'
Order By
FiscalYearId Desc,
FiscalMonthOfYearId Desc
Below is the generate output
FiscalYearId FiscalMonthOfYearId
2014 2
2014 1
2013 12
2013 11
But i want to use this query in one of my where clause condition as its being used in the where clause it can only return 1 row.So, i tried something like this
Select Distinct Top 4
FiscalMonthOfYearId
From ODS.Common.tODS_Date
Inner Join
UTL.Utility.tUTL_ProcessDate
On tODS_Date.DateShort < tUTL_ProcessDate.ProcessDate
And tUTL_ProcessDate.DatabaseName = 'ODS'
Order By
FiscalMonthOfYearId Desc
And the result set of this one gives me the output like
FiscalMonthOfYearId
12
11
10
9
Which is not correct,( if you see the result set above).
Can someone please help me with any ides on this.

If you want to use this query in the WHERE clause, then use it with EXISTS option which allows to return more than 1 column.

Can someone help with this SQL SELECT ?A guess
select
p.name
from Parent_child_table p
where p.parent_id is null
and exists
select
null
from Parent_child_table p1, products p2
where p1.id = p2. parent_child_table_id
and p1.parent_id = p.id
)The reason it's a guess is because you've really done nothing to outline WHY you should get the results you say you would like. The more time you spend creating a clear question, the less time you'll have to spend weeding through useless answers.
Cheers,
