Using aggregate function along with for all entries: sugest alternative

My requirement:
For each record in i_vbap for which 'charg' is initial, need to determine batch using the following logic:
For the material (MATNR) in i_vbap, select the batch (CHARG) which has the largest (MAX) unrestricted inventory quantity (CLABS) from MCHB table.
How do I implement this logic without using select statement inside a loop as I cannot use MAX ( CLABS ) function along with FOR ALL ENTRIES in a SELECT?
Suggest an alternative.

For each record in i_vbap for which 'charg' is initial ,fetch all the existing 'clabs' value.
[ Remember to include all the key fields in selct ]
Sort the new table .
Put a loop,use at end of 'charg' and append to another table. U get ur solution
I think this should be the most economic way to do so.

How to use dynamic internal table with FOR ALL ENTRIES

Hello SDNers,
I am having a dynamic internal table & want to use FOR ALL ENTRIES(FAE) using this dyn. table.
This works fine for me:
IF <lt_tmp> IS NOT INITIAL. "<lt_tmp> is my dyn. internal table
 SELECT field1 field2
 FROM TABLE ztable
 INTO TABLE itab "Itab is a static table
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <lt_tmp>
 WHERE (lv_dynwhere). "lv_dynwhere -> dynamic where clause
 ENDIF.
SAP documentation says:
"The logical expression sql_cond of the WHERE condition can be comprised of several logical expressions using AND and OR. However, if FOR ALL ENTRIES is specified, there must be at least one comparison with a column of the internal table itab that can be specified statically or dynamically. "
How do we specify the column of the internal table dynamically ? Can we do something like this:
IF <lt_tmp> IS NOT INITIAL. "<lt_tmp> is my dyn. internal table
 SELECT field1 field2
 FROM TABLE
 INTO TABLE itab "Itab is a static table
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <lt_tmp>
 WHERE key_field1 = (dynamic token for column1 of <lt_tmp>)
 key_field2 = (dynamic token for column2 of <lt_tmp>)
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
Let me know if i am not clear about my requirement.
BR,
Suhas

Hello Thomas,
What i meant was something like this:
WHERE key_field1 = ('<LT_TMP-COL1>') AND
 key_field2 = ('<LT_TMP-COL2>')
I am confused by what SAP means with "dynamic representation of internal table columns" in FAE ?
@Rob: I was referring to SAPNW 7.0 documentation & the phrase (release 6.40 & higher) is missing. Anyways fyi i am on ECC5.0 ABAP release 6.40.
@Subhankar: This is what Marcin had proposed in For all entries and dynamic table.
Thanks,
Suhas

How to use single buffered table with FOR ALL ENTRIES KEYWORD

Hai,
I'm Using TJ02T Database table, It is single buffered table but at the same time I want to use FOR ALL ENTRIES KEYWORD , Please Help me.
Regards,
S.Janani

Hi,
FOR ALL ENTRIES will not depend on the buffering nature of the table. The single buffered table will only only buffer one record into memory. You can still use the statement to query the values, but it may have performance problems if the data volume is high since the records are not completely buffered into memory, the time will spent in getting data from DB.
Thanks..

Can we use inner joins with for all entries?

Hi,
    Can we use innerjoin on two tables MARA and MAKT against the materials in
    the internal table.
    If so ,please let me know whether there is performance issue.Because if there is
    bad performance issue or something else like thise means,my project manager
    wont allow to include.
    So can one let me know about this.
Thanks,
Balaji

Hi Arunkumar,
                           I think you are not clear.My question is can I use innerjoin with
for all entries.For example below is my code.
SELECT A~MATNR
         B~MAKTX
         A~MTART
         A~MATKL
         FROM MARA AS A INNER JOIN MAKT AS B
         ON AMATNR = BMATNR
         INTO TABLE IT_MARA_MAKT
         FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_MATNR
         WHERE A~MATNR = IT_MATNR-MATNR
         AND   A~EXTWG = P_EXTWG
         AND   A~SPART = P_SPART.
Can we use like this for all entries along with innerjoins.
Thanks,

How does select stmt with for all entries uses Indexes

Hello all,
I goes through a number of documents but still confused how does select for all entries uses indexes if fields are not in sequences. i got pretty much the same results if i take like two cases on Hr tables HRP1000 and HRP1001(with for all entries based upon hrp1000). Here is the sequence of index fields on hrp1001 (MANDT, OTYPE, OBJID, PLVAR, RSIGN, RELAT, ISTAT, PRIOX, BEGDA, ENDDA, VARYF, SEQNR). in second case objid field is in sequence as in defined Index but i dont see significant increase in field even though the number of records are around 30000. My question is does it make a differrence to use field sequence (same as in table indexes) in comparison to redundant field sequence (not same as defined in table indexes), secondly how we can ge tto know if table index is used in Select for entries query i tried Explain in ST05 but its not clear if it uses any index at all in hrp1001 read.
here is the sample code i use to get test results.

Thank you for your answer, its very helpful but i am still nor sure how does parameter rsdb/max_blocking_factor affect records size.
Hi,
The blocking affects the size of the statement and the memory structures for returning the result.
So if your itab has 500 rows and your blocking is 5, the very same statement will be executed 100 times.
Nothing good or bad about this so far.
Assume, your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 25 records with an average size of 109 bytes.
You average result size will be 2725 byte plus overhead which will nearly perfectly fit into two 1500 byte ethernet frames.
Nothing to do in this case.
Assume your average result for an inlist 5 statement is 7 records with an average size of 67 bytes.
You average result size will be ~ 470 byte plus overhead which will only fill 1/3 of a 1500 byte ethernet frame.
In this case, setting the blocking to 12 ... 15 will give you 66% network transfer performance gain,
and reduces the number of calls to the DB by 50%, giving additional benefit.
Now this is an extreme example. The longer the average row length is, the lower will be the average loss in the network.
You have the same effects in memory structures, but on that layer you are fighting single micro seconds instead of
hundreds of these, so in real life it is rarely measurable.
Depending on table-statistics, oracle might decide for short inlists to use a concatanation instead of an inlist.
This is supposed to be more costy, but I never had a case where I could proove a big difference.
Values from 5 to 15 for blocking seem to be ok for me. If you have special statements in customer coding,
it #might# be benefitial to do the mentioned calculations and do some network tracing to see if you can squeeze your
network efficiency by tuning the blocking.
If you have jumbo frames enabled, it might be worth to be analyzed as well.
If you are only on a DB-CI system that is loopback connected to the DB, I doubt there might be a big outcome.
Hope this helps

Alternative for / Problems with: "For all entries in data_package"

Hi Guys
I doing some ABAP in a Start Rotine in BW and would like to do the following:
select * from /BI0/PMATERIAL into table 0mat
for all entries in DATA_PACKAGE
where material = DATA_PACKAGE-/bic/zmaterial.
But I get the following error:
E:When using the addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab", the fields "MATERIAL" and "DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZMATERIAL" must have the same type and length. and length.
ZMATERIAL:
- Length: 28
- Type: CHAR - Character String
ZMATERIAL:
- Length: 18
- Type: CHAR - Character String
According to the error message "For all entries" cannot be used in this case since the lengths are not identical, but is there an alternative way to do what I would like to do?
Thanks in advance, kind regards,
Torben

Hi
one thing you can try like this define one variable in other itab of same type
then loop at the first table and assign it to new field and modify the itab
then use this field with for all entries

INNER JOIN with FOR ALL ENTRIES IN Performance ?

If i am not doing inner join then I will have to do 2 select with for all entries in on ekkn and ekbe tables and then compare them.
I want to know which one has better performance
Inner join with for all entries in
 or
2 Selects with for all entries in

the join is almost aways faster:

An Inner Join with for all entries should be done if you add this....
IF NOT gi_sales[] IS INITIAL.
SELECT k~ebeln k~ebelp k~vbeln k~vbelp
FROM ekkn AS k INNER JOIN ekbe AS b ON k~ebeln = b~ebeln
AND k~ebelp = b~ebelp

WHERE k~mandt EQ sy-mandt
AND k~vbeln EQ gi_sales-vbeln
AND k~vbelp EQ gi_sales-posnr
AND b~budat EQ p_date.
ENDIF.
Also, while you use an index or the complete key for the SELECT, your not going to suffer from lack of performance -;)

I found this in the F1-Help for "FOR ALL ENTRIES":
>"In Release 6.10 and higher, the same internal table can be specified after FOR ALL ENTRIES and after INTO."
Check however if you can use a proper JOIN select. This will fill your internal table in one operation and is usually faster than a FOR ALL ENTRIES, contrary to some circulating comments here.

best practise ... don't know ... it is allowed and o.k.
If possible you should of coourse to have no FOR ALL ENTRIES at all !
Joins, there is no general rule, check indexes etc.
The first SORT, I don't that it help for anything, use it together with the delete adjacent duplicates if you expect duplicates in the driver table.
o.k., it can help, if there is a loop afterwards and an append inside, because the new table itab1 is then sorted.

Replacing a inner join with for all entries

Hi Team,
   In a already developed program I am replacing a inner join with select query follow up with for-all-entris and passing the data to final internal table but in both the case the result should be same then only my replacement will be correct. But my no records in both cases differs. This happening because when i am selecting data from first data base table is 32 lines. then I am doing fo-all-entries moving all the duplicate entries then the no records are four. but in final internal table i am looping the first internal table. So in final internal table the no of records are 32. But in inner join query the records are 16.So please let me know how resolve this issue?
Thanks and REgards
Deepa

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for ur suggestion.
The solved that in below.
In select query I did not change anything The way I had written the code was correct.
I think many of us know how to write that how to make the performance better in that way.
I made the change when I transfered the to final internal table.
The original Inner join code:
select a~field1 a~field2 a~field3 b~field2 b~field3 b~field4
           from dbtab1 as a inner join dbtab2 as b
          on a~field1 = b~field1 into it_final where
          a~field1 in s_field1. [Field1 in both the table are key field]
Before code:
Sort itab1 by key-fields.
sort itab2 by keyfields.
loop at itab1 into wa1.
move: wa1-field1 to wa_final-field1,
           wa1-field2 to wa_final-field2,
           wa1-field3 to wa_final-field3.
read table itab2 into wa2 witk key field1 = wa1-field1 binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
move : wa2-field2 to wa_final-field4,
             wa2-field3 to wa_final-field5,
             wa2-field4 to wa_final-field6.
append wa_final to it_final.
endif.
Clear : wa1, wa2, wa_final.
endloop.
In this case if the one key fieild value is not present there in second internal table but its there in first internal table still it will read that row with 2nd internal values having zeroes. Normally what does not happen in inner join case if the key field value will same in both the case ,then that will fetch only those rows.
Changed Code
loop at itab1 into wa1.
read table itab2 into wa2 witk key field1 = wa1-field1 binary search.
if sy-subrc = 0.
move: wa1-field1 to wa_final-field1,
           wa1-field2 to wa_final-field2,
           wa1-field3 to wa_final-field3.
move : wa2-field2 to wa_final-field4,
             wa2-field3 to wa_final-field5,
             wa2-field4 to wa_final-field6.
append wa_final to it_final.
endif.
Clear : wa1, wa2, wa_final.
endloop.
In this case the values will read to final internal table if both key field matches.

Normally, isn't possible.
So my problem is that I'm having duplicate code.
I've something like this.
 IF ap_objcl EQ omaterial.
 SELECT objectid
 INTO TABLE i_cdpos
 FROM cdpos
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN otf_materials
 WHERE objectclas = ap_objcl AND
 tabname = otf_materials-tablename AND
 fname = otf_materials-fieldname.
 ELSEIF ap_objcl EQ otf_documents...
And I'm looking to use otf_materials and otf_documents
So, instead to duplicate the code, I'm looking for a way to restrain the code by using maybe field symbols.
Ideal :
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <otf_mats_docs> LIKE OTF_TABLE.
IF ap_objcl EQ omaterial
ASSIGN local copy of otf_materials TO <otf_mats_docs> CASTING.
ELSEIF ap_objcl EQ odocuments
ASSIGN local copy of otf_documents TO <otf_mats_docs> CASTING.
ENDIF.
 SELECT objectid
 INTO TABLE i_cdpos
 FROM cdpos
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <otf_mats_docs>
 WHERE objectclas = ap_objcl AND
 tabname = <otf_mats_docs>-tablename AND
 fname = <otf_mats_docs>-fieldname.
IF ap_objcl EQ omaterials.
*Do nothing
ELSEIF ap_objcl EQ odocuments.
*Do something with the date in otf_documents.
ENDIF.

Hi,
Ok, using forms is great things to deal with it.
But, may be it'll slow down the program and I need a really rapid program.
I tried using form.
The problem by pushing the FOR ALL ENTRIES IN <structure>
didn't works.
It tells me that the structure that I pushed via "using" is not an internal table.
The same structure work find in the global program.
What should I do ?.
The structure is given by as a parameters in Function Module.
FORM data_search
USING
 object_cl TYPE j_objnr
 table_data LIKE ****structure****
CHANGING
 global_lst TYPE ANY TABLE.
 DATA : BEGIN OF otf_list OCCURS 0,
 objectid TYPE cdpos-objectid,
 END OF otf_list.
DATA : ii_cdpos LIKE TABLE OF otf_list WITH HEADER LINE.
 IF table_data IS NOT INITIAL.
 SELECT objectid
 INTO TABLE ii_cdpos
 FROM cdpos
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN table_data
 WHERE objectclas = object_cl AND
 tabname = table_data-tablename AND
 fname = table_data-fieldname.
 ELSE.
 SELECT objectid
 INTO TABLE i_cdpos
 FROM cdpos
 WHERE objectclas = ap_objcl.
 ENDIF.
 SELECT DISTINCT objectid
 INTO TABLE global_lst
 FROM cdhdr
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ii_cdpos
 WHERE ( ( udate GT from_date AND udate LT to_date ) OR
 ( udate EQ from_date AND udate NE to_date AND utime GE from_time ) OR
* ( udate NE from_date AND udate EQ to_date AND utime LE to_time ) OR
* ( udate EQ from_date AND udate EQ to_date AND utime GE from_time AND utime LE to_time )
 ( udate EQ to_date AND (
 udate NE from_date OR
 utime GE from_time
 AND utime LE to_time )
 ) AND
 objectclas = ap_objcl AND
 objectid = ii_cdpos-objectid.
ENDFORM.

Using aggregate function along with for all entries: sugest alternative
