HI All,,

I have a internal table int with following fields matnr maktxd maktxe.

i have a field material in the selection screen.

i have to retrieve both the material description in english as well as DE.

I is there any optimized way to retrieve both the text from MAKT through a single query?

Tnx,

Joe

For the material (MATNR) fetch the corresponding description from MAKT.

While selecting use the criteria SPRAS = 'EN' or "DE'.

Hi,

Table contains data in a single language.You cannot retrieve data from both languages with a single qurey.Try extract the data into a field and then convert the same into desired language.

Check the below code for your requirement

Select matnr maktx into table itab from makt where spras in ( 'EN', 'DE' ).

Hi,

when i checked my MARA table i can see for the same material description is mainatined in EN and FR..

SELECT *

FROM mara

INTO TABLE it_mara

where matnr = '000000000000000031'.

SELECT *

FROM makt

INTO TABLE it_makt

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_mara

WHERE matnr = it_mara-matnr

Hi,

I dont think we can do it in one select statement..

Try the sample code given below..

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_s_mara,

matnr TYPE matnr,

eng TYPE char50,

ger TYPE char50,

END OF ty_s_mara.

DATA it_mara TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_s_mara.

DATA it_makt TYPE TABLE OF makt.

FIELD-SYMBOLS <gf_mara> TYPE ty_s_mara.

DATA ls_makt TYPE makt.

SELECT matnr

FROM mara

INTO TABLE it_mara

WHERE matnr = '000000000000000031'.

SELECT *

FROM makt

INTO TABLE it_makt

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_mara

WHERE matnr = it_mara-matnr

AND spras = 'EN'

OR spras = 'FR'.

LOOP AT it_mara ASSIGNING <gf_mara>.

LOOP AT it_makt INTO ls_makt WHERE matnr = <gf_mara>-matnr.

IF sy-tabix = 1.

MOVE ls_makt-maktx TO <gf_mara>-eng.

ELSE.

MOVE ls_makt-maktx TO <gf_mara>-ger.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

data : begin of itab ,

matnr like makt-matnr,

maktxd like makt-maktx, " Launguage english

maktxe like makt-maktx "Launguage german

end of itab.

data : begin of it_desc ,

matnr like makt-matnr,

maktx like makt-maktx,

spras like makt-spras,

end of it_desc.

Select matnr maktx spras into table it_desc from makt where

matnr = 'Your parameter value'

AND spras in ( 'EN', 'DE' ).

Loop at it_desc.

Move it_desc-matnr to itab-matnr.

if it_desc-spras = 'EN'.

Move it_desc-maktx to itab-maktxd.

ELSE.

Move it_desc-maktx to itab-maktxe.

ENDIF.

append itab.

endloop.
