* table name in the select statements

Hi,
I have come across a select Statement as below.
Select * into *nast from nast where <conditions>.. End select.
what does this *nast represents and when is it used. why do we need to call a Table with *<Table Name>
Kind Regards,
Usha

hi,
select statement will always points to a database table so we have to give database table name and it gets data from that table. for storing that data we have to use internal tables must have same structure of database table.
so select statement has the following form as........
select * from [dbtable] into table [internal table]
endselect.
in sap select will act as a loop so that we hav to use end sleect. select has different varities in sap. for some types no need of end select.
for ex:
select single *
select * ..................... into table [internal table name].....
if helpful reward some points.
with regards,
suresh.

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 ?

Create Dynamic table name in the select statement.

I use oracle reports 6i to make myrep.rdf , this report created using certain select query Q1, I created a formula column in this report,
in the formula column I write pl/sql block statements to select the data from certain table depends on the output of a column in Q1,
I want to make the pl/sql block dynamically enough to change the user which I select the data from depends on the connected user
Ex: if I connected with user = 'KAM14'
the pl/sql block will be
select x into v_value from kam13.bil_file where .....;
and if I connected with user = 'KAM13'
the pl/sql block will be
select x into v_value from kam12.bil_file where .....;
and so on
how can I do this in the pl/sql block ...
Thanks in Advance.

I am not sure I understood properly, but I think you should create bil_file table under a different user and create synonyms under KAM1x users.

Variable table name in the select statment ?

data: h_itab like hier_out occurs 0 with header line,
      table_name(30) type C.
here i declare h_itab as the variable for the table name
itab_name = input_name
input_name is imported
select * from table_name
       into table h_itab
       where OBJVERS = 'A'.
it does not allow me to use table_name in the select statement i get the error 'table_name is not defined i the abap dictionary as a table, projection view or database view'.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
BWer

Hi,
You must enclose the name of the table in braces to let the compiler know that the value will be supplied at run time.
For example -
tables mara.
data table_name(30) type c.
table_name = 'MARA'.
SELECT *
FROM (table_name)
endselect.

Passing of internal table values to the select statement as SETS

Hi All,
Is there any way that i can restrict the values of a internal table to be passed to a select statement set by set..
say for eg: if a itab has 1000 entries i want the first 500 to be going out in a select statement as a comparision for all entries and then the next set of 500 to go out..
Please let me know.. this is very urgent..

<b>Appending Several Lines</b>
You can also append internal tables to index tables using the following statement:
APPEND LINES OF <itab1> TO <itab2>.
This statement appends the whole of ITAB1 to ITAB2. ITAB1 can be any type of table, but its line type must be convertible into the line type of ITAB2.
When you append an index table to another index table, you can specify the lines to be appended as follows:
APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n 2>] TO <itab2>.
<n 1 > and <n 2 > specify the indexes of the first and last lines of ITAB1 that you want to append to ITAB2.
This method of appending lines of one table to another is about 3 to 4 times faster than appending them line by line in a loop. After the APPEND statement, the system field SY-TABIX contains the index of the last line appended. When you append several lines to a sorted table, you must respect the unique key (if defined), and not violate the sort order. Otherwise, a runtime error will occur.
Then u can use <b> FOR ALL ENTRIES</b> in select query.

Run time Column Name in the Select Statement

Hi there,
I face problem while writing sql statment for report in the Oracle reports.
The prom is I want to bound the where clause column name with the value stored in a variable e.g.

where City = 'XYZ' ;
Waiting for the response .

Hi,
U can use lexical parameters for the solutions.U must be aware of it, but still i describe how to work it out.
1)In your datamodel in object navigator create a parameter under User parameter node.Name the parameter, for eg. p_clause.
set data type of parameter to character.
2)write a select query eg.
select * from emp &p_clause; --(THIS IS THE PARAMETER WE CREATED ABOVE)
3)Now run your report
Now in your parameter form pass the value for p_clause parameter.
eg: where name='JACK';
or
where city='NEWYORK';
or where deptno=10;
But do it in steps as above mentioned.
Do tell me if it works or not via mail on [email protected]
Enjoy.......

Case sensitive statement in the select-statement

Hi All,
i have a table in the abap-dictionary filled with names...when i try to select them with the select-statement with condition:
table-name_column like 'some_name'
I have encountered some problems...the inquiry is case-sensitive. What i want to do is to read the value from the abap-dictionary table uppercase or lowercase and compare it with the needed value also translated in uppercase or lowercase.
The only idea i have is to select all values of the dictionary table into an internal table and to translate the values there in uppercase or lowercase and then to loop trough it. But this approach would cost a lot of performance.
Do someone has an other proposal?

check...
Select statement
It would be difficult , because it is based on how data is stored in the data base , now consider the scenario of the system i am using , we can material description as 'test' or 'TEST' , 'Test' .
If in your system there are only stored in either caps or small the you can perform the select twice .
But i myself dont find it to be such a good solution , but you can give it a try
There is one more solution specific to material description ,and that is in the table MAKT there is a field MAKTG , which stored the description in uppercase , so for this you can first convert the description to uppercase and then perform select on this field

Restricting records in the select statement

Hi,
I have one requirement where in i need to restrict my select statement to get only 250 records in the output table.
Here are the select statements i am using....
    SELECT a~ebeln
                 a~lifnr
                 a~ekgrp
                 b~werks
                 b~matnr
           FROM ekko AS a INNER JOIN ekpo AS b
           ON aebeln = bebeln

                        b~werks IN r_ewerk AND
                        b~matnr IN r_matnr AND
                        a~bstyp = 'F'.
            IF NOT i_ekko[] IS INITIAL.
Select Vendor name
           SELECT lifnr
                        name1
                  FROM lfa1

                  FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_ekko
                  WHERE lifnr = i_ekko-lifnr.
Here if i restrict the first select statement to get only 250 records then i am not getting the desired record in the second select statement.
Could anyone let me know how to write the select statement.
Regards,
Ramesh

restric the first select using up to 250.
sort the i_ekko by vendor name.
ex: sort i_ekko by lifnr.
use second select statement here.

Database adapter and column aliases in the select statement (10.1.3.1)

Hi,
Is it possible to use column aliases in the select statement for a database adapter to return an xml element name which is different to the column in the queried table?
I have tried using
SELECT EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME AS MYNAME, LAST_NAME, SALARY, DEPARTMENT_ID, PHONE_NUMBER, EMAIL, HIRE_DATE FROM HR.EMPLOYEES WHERE (DEPARTMENT_ID = #DEPT_ID)
but I get the following XML fragment returned
<Employees>
<employeeId>100</employeeId>
<firstName xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
<lastName>King</lastName>
<salary>24000</salary>
Any pointers appreciated.
Joel.

That is really interesting.
When I use the "custom sql" option in the DB adapter wizard, it used the aliases just fine in the return schema.

Break the SELECT statement.

Hi,
My requirement is to break the Select statement and get the fields in where clause in one internal table.
For eg: Select VBELN
                      POSNR
                      MATNR from VBAP into wa_vbap where VBELN = '0000000001'

Here i need to put fields VBELN, POSNR, MATNR in one internal table, table name VBAP in second internal table and where clause fields VBELN, POSNR in third internal table.
Please let me know if anyone has any solution for this.

SQL or PL/SQL : dynamically insert table name in a SQL Statement

Hi,
We have a strange requirement - we need to dynamically use the table names in a SQL Query. E.g:
select * from :table_name
The table_name will be chosen from a list. I have tried this in SQL as well as PL SQL - but, I have been unsuccessul so far.
Can you guys please help me solve this puzzle ?
I hope I have explained my quesion clearly - if not, please do let me know if some more details are necessary.
Regards,
Ramky

The following is the anonymous block that im using in a report in HTMLDB. My problem is Line Number 9. The bind variable contains the chosen table name at
the run time.
Variable "qry_stmt" contains the query to be returned, so that result set for that query will be displayed in the report.
If I hard code the table name(rather that passing it through bind variable) in the
qry_stmt string, Im getting the result sets for that query. But if I pass through
bind variable at run time, its still generating the string correctly( im printing
using a print statement at line number 14). But its returing the following report
error
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
Please advice/help me in this.....
declare
qry_stmt varchar2(1000);
p_table varchar2(30) := 'EMP';
P_ENAME varchar2(1000);
begin
IF :p2_TABLE_NAMES IS NOT NULL THEN
qry_stmt := 'select * from '||TRIM(:P2_TABLE_NAMES); -- Line Num 9
execute immediate qry_stmt; --into P_ENAME;
ELSE
qry_stmt := 'SELECT 1 FROM dual ';
END IF;
htp.p(qry_stmt);--Line Num 14
return qry_stmt;
