Hi,
It is better not to use a range directly in the where condition. This is because when the range values are more it will give a dump. To avoid this, inside the program we need to build a logic to select records in a batch from the range.
For example,
a) if the range has say 10,000 records,
b) first take 1000 records from the range and then put it in an internal table and use this internal table for selecting records from the database (for eg MSKA).
c) Append the first 1000 records the database table into an itab.
d) Then take the next 1000 records from the range and select the data from database table and so on.
e) Repeat this process untill all the records in the ranges are finished.
This will definitely avoid a dump.
Please reward useful answers.
