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.

* 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.

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.

How user variable table names in select statement

Dear all,
I have three table gp1,gp2,g3. i want user variable table in sql query
for example at oracle forms have a list table showing table names gp1,gp2,gp3
at form i want user this query
select gpno from :table where gpno=120;
how i can specify table name Dynamicly in select query
Thanks

Forms_DDL is a one-way street: You can only pass DDL commands TO the database; you cannot get data back using Forms_DDL.
Exec_SQL is the Forms package that enables dynamic sql within a form. But to retrieve data, you have to make a Exec_SQL call for every column in every row. So it is not a good thing to use, either.
The ref cursor method should work. You could also retrieve the data into a record group using populate_group_with_query -- it also enables dynamic data retrieval.
But if you already know you have three distinct tables and you know their names, I would keep it simple and just write three sql select statements.

How to find table name for the fields from Standard Extractor in CRM system

How to find table name of fields from the standard extractor in CRM system ?
e.g. We use LBWE TCode in R/3 system to find table name for the field from Extractor VCSCL(e.g.).
Likewise is there any way to find table name for the fields from Standard extractor like 0CRM_LEAD_I.

Hi ,
Please find the link below for understanding BW CRM analysis.
http://help.sap.com/bp_biv135/html/bw.htm
activate the CRM DSs by scenario:
1) Activate the application component hierarchy (tcode RSA9). Changes made to the application component hierarchy in the CRM system can be transferred to the BW using the "Edit Application Component Hierarchy" (SBIW - Postprocessing of DataSources).
SAP Note 434886 must be implemented in CRM 3.0 before the application component hierarchy is activated.
2) Activate the Business Content DataSources (tcode RSA5).
Select/enter the application component and choose Execute (F8).
To compare the shipped and active versions, choose the 'Select Delta' pushbutton. If there is no active version of the DataSource, it is selected automatically.
To activate the shipped version, choose the 'Transfer DataSources' pushbutton.
3) Management of the versions of the BW-Adapter metadata (tcode BWA5). All DataSources are displayed that are managed by the BW Adapter.
As in transaction RSA5 (Service API Metadata Activation), the 'Select Delta' function can be used to select the inactive DataSources or compare shipped and active versions.
You can also go directly to the screen for maintaining DataSources that are managed by the BW Adapter.
The 'Compare Version' function makes a detailed comparison of the shipped and active versions.
All BW-Adapter metadata is considered when versions are compared:
Header information (Table SMOXHEAD)
Mapping information (Table SMOXRELP)
Global selection conditions (Table SMOXGSEL)
Attribute key fields (Table SMOXAFLD)
Hope this helps.

Hi,
As far as I understand what you are asking for I would suggest 4 data dictionaries that will help you to know the table name from the column names
1. USER_TAB_COLS
2. ALL_TAB_COLS
3. DBA_TAB_COLS
4. COLS
These can give you detail information about the columns and respective tables at user, schema, dba level. Further information on the table can be found by querying ALL_OBJECTS table giving table_name as Object_name, or you can join the data dictionaries too.
To know about various data dictionaries avalible in Oracle please query select * from cat;
Let us know if you need further assistance.

Using distinct and orderby in the select statment

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of using distinct and orderby in the select statment.

Hi,
Using the distinct function with more than one column yields some substantial results. SQL will return the rows with distinct or unique combinations of those columns. Assume this same employee table has another column including the salary of each employee. With the use of the distinct function we can pull a list of unique job titles - salaries.
SQL Code:
SELECT DISTINCT job_titles, salary FROM employees;
SQL has returned all the rows with unique combinations of job titles and salaries. Any duplicate combinations of job titles and salaries will be ignored. For example if we had two CEOs in the table making the same salary each year, only one row would be returned but if we had two CEOs with different salaries, both rows would be returned.
Order by
The SQL ORDER BY clause comes in handy when you want to sort your SQL result sets by some column(s). For example if you want to select all the persons from the already familiar Customers table and order the result by date of birth, you will use the following statement:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB
As you can see the rows are sorted in ascending order by the DOB column, but what if you want to sort them in descending order? To do that you will have to add the DESC SQL keyword after your SQL ORDER BY clause:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB DESC
If you don't specify how to order your rows, alphabetically or reverse, than the result set is ordered alphabetically, hence the following to SQL expressions produce the same result:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB ASC
You can sort your result set by more than one column by specifying those columns in the SQL ORDER BY list. The following SQL expression will order by DOB and LastName:
SELECT * FROM Customers
ORDER BY DOB, LastName

Hi vadivel,
Create internal table and create table control using same internal table
e.g.
data : begin of it,
end of it.
start-of-selection.
call screen 100.
If you create table control using wizard then code automatically come here.
Now, Put one push button in same screen where table control is available. let's say push button Display report.
Now, use export <IT> to memory id <ID> and submit report <report name> and return. now, define same internal table in this submitted report and use import <IT> from memory id <ID>. Now, table control data is available in internal table, use that data and make code as per your requirement. If you dont want to use push button then use menu bar and at user-command event.
Hope this help

Need the the underlying table names which the Material Plan Detail Search p

Our supply planning users would like to obtain the demand and supply plan for a bunch of given parts by running a query against some tables. The data they need via a PS Query output in Excel format is the same data that is provided by the Material Plan Detail page in PeopleSoft Supply Planning (Menu Path: Supply Planning >>>Solve Plan>>>> Material >>>>>>Material Plan Detail). The main underlying table behind this page is PS_PL_MRP_DTL.
The problem is that this table contains data for only one Part Number (INV_ITEM_ID). The data is populated when Item ID is selected on the Material Plan Detail Search page.
What are the underlying table names which the Material Plan Detail Search page brings together to present the information for the selected part number on the target page (The Material Plan Detail page)?
If you could tell us the underlying table names (which the Material Plan Detail Search page brings together) we can write a query to present the data to the users for multiple part numbers at a time and not just one part number at a time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am building a form that will allow user(s) switch to other user
(s) dynamically. I have been able able to do this by creating a
non-database table and use record group to read from the base
table of each user.(All the tables in question have the same
structure).
Record group is a read only, and I want to be able to do data
maninpulation with this form.
The questions are
(1) It possible to do data manipulation with record group and if
it is, how?
(2) Is it possible to build a form with a variable table name?
if possible, how?
Somebody pls help.

Hi,
you can create and manipulate record groups at runtime(see Forms
Reference 'Create_Group' and 'Add_Group_Row') don't use
Create_Group_from_Query. For your purpose it's better to build a
cursor loop on your Query and add your datas after
manipulating with 'Add_Group_Row' to your Record Group.
It's possible to SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME) but
it's not possible to change the item property 'Column Name'.
Therefor I would suggest to build a non database block and
populate these block by a programm unit, which works with a
pl/sql cursor loop and the 'create record' to populate these
block.

Bex Query: Too many table names in the query The maximum allowable is 256

Hi Experts,
I need your help, Im working on a Query using a multiprovider of 2 datastores, I need to work with cells to assign specific acconts values to specific rows and columns, so I was creating a Structure with elements from a Hierarchy, but I get this error when I'm half way of the structure:
"Too many table names in the query. The maximum allowable is 256.Incorrect syntax near ')'.Incorrect syntax near 'O1'."
Any idea what is happening? is ti possible to fix it? do I need to ask for a modification of my Infoproviders? Some one told me is possible to combine 2 querys, is it true?
Thanks a lot for your time and pacience.

Hi,
The maximum allowable limit is 256 holds true. It is the max no. of characteristics and key figures that can be used in the column side. While creating a structure, you create key figures (restricted or calculated) and formulas etc.. The objects that you use to create these should not be more than 256.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/4d/e2bebb41da1d42917100471b364efa/frameset.htm
Not sure if combination of 2 query's is possible. You can use RRI. Or have a woorkbook with 2 queries.
Hope it helps.
