Code ABAP joins

Former Member — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:24:57 GMT

Hi experts, it's the first time that i do a small BW project,

I have a table like

table 1:

name________________departement

jean.pierre_____________VBB

table 2:

mail________________________________ logon

jean.pierre @ entrprise.com_____________PierreJ

I want to do a join with 2 tables above

in order to match the name with the mail. I need do some treatment with the 'mail ' in deleteing le @entreprise .com to do this join.

so I want to know some one has done this and how to do this , and if you have some code exemple that's better

thanks a lot

no common fields, so no DB join... I would suggest select from both tables into two internal tables and do the following (pseudo code):

LOOP AT itab2. "this is the with the email (second one in your question
SPLIT itab2-mail INTO field1 field2 AT '@'.
READ TABLE itab1 WITH KEY name = field1.
==> Now you have both records and you can whatever you want
ENDLOOP.

(itab1 has to be a sorted table, or sort it before the LOOP and add BINARY SEARCH to the READ TABLE)

A second option could be having a unique common fields in both the table.

table 1:

Userid / PersonlNum / Globalid ( Unique for a person )

name

departement

Table 2:

Userid / PersonlNum / Globalid

mail

logon

first you have to split the email...and you have to take one extra field in itab2 where you will store the name..


loop at <itab2>.
split mail at '@' into str1 str2.
<new-field> = str1.
modify <itab2>.
endloop.


loop at <itab1>.
read table <itab2> with key <new-field> = <itab1>-name.
  write you own code.  "This is the join
endloop.
