Several single value selection in InfoPackage Data selection using Routine

Question

Hi,
I am trying to extract data from a table(containing Ticket data) in R/3 using Generic extractor with table. As the table is not supporting the delta functionality i have to do daily full load for more than 5 lak records.
I dont want all the tickets from R/3, i just need the tickets which are open. Unfortunately there is no field in R/3 table which indicates Ticket status. But in BW i have a DSO where i can get the tickets along with their status.
Now what i want to do is:
in the Infopackage i want to give the dataselection for ticket, whose status is open which will be calculated in ABAP code by lookup to the DSO. Is this possible?
I know that in ABAP routine for Data selection we can give single values and range values. but here i just want to give several single values. That means if suppose i have 4 tickets T1,T2,T3,T4 in the DSO and if T1 and T4 are open tickets, then i have to get the data from R/3 just for T1 and T4.
in the above case if we use range then the low and high values in the range will be T1 and T4 respectively and the data pulled from R/3 will be from T1 - T4 ie all T1,T2,T3 & T4. but i need just T1 and T4.
Please share your ideas. also please send the code as i am not an ABAPer.
If Several single value selection is not possible at least send the code for the range values.
Thanks,
Cnu.

you can write a code like this in the ABAP routine in data selection in front of ticket characteristic
types: Begin of s_ticket,
     ticket type <type of ticket characterisitcs>,
      End of s_ticket.
data: l_idx like sy-tabix,
      wa_ticket type s_ticket,
      it_ticket type standard table of s_ticket,
      l_s_range type rsrdrange.
You can declare
read table l_t_range with key
     fieldname = '<your field name for ticket>'.
l_s_range-infoobject = '<infoobject name>'.
l_s_range-fieldname = '<field name of ticket cahracteristics>'.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-option = 'EQ'.
select * from <ODS active table> into table it_ticket where status = <value for open status>.
if sy-subrc = 0.
     loop at it_ticket into wa-ticket.
          l_s_range-low = wa_ticket-ticket.
          append l_s_range to l_t_range.
     endloop.
end if.
p_subrc = 0.
you need to modify it as per your requirements, i hope this might help you.
