ST05 does give you the SQL. What do you mean by "meaningful" SQL ?

Hi,

could you please explain what you have done?

Any correct OPEN SQL traced by ST05 will show the native SQL that has been sent to the database.

For simple cases you can use SE16 and don't have to write OPEN SQL.

Kind regards,

Hermann

hai

i wrote this in se38

report zdsd.

data wmatnr type mara.

select single * from mara into wmatnr where matnr = '0001'.

write wmatnr.

_from st05_

41 PROGDIR REOPEN 0 0 SELECT WHERE "NAME" = 'ZTEST123' AND "STATE" = 'A'

1,182 PROGDIR FETCH 1 0

4 DWINACTIV REOPEN 0 0 SELECT WHERE "OBJECT" = 'REPS' AND "OBJ_NAME" = 'ZTEST123'

592 DWINACTIV FETCH 0 1403

8 MARA REOPEN 0 0 SELECT WHERE "MANDT" = '001' AND "MATNR" = '0001'

9,388 MARA FETCH 1 0

i would like

select matnr

into :vi_matnr

from PPS_SUB_BDZ.lm1_lagerpl

where matnr = '0001'

basicaly i need to work on new database (NON SAP) by making connections..

i write the code in FM's in ABAP.

I write Select queries between EXEC SQL. and

ENDEXEC.

I have to use SELECT SINGLE...FOR ALL ENTRIES ...counterparts now...

The one you want is the last one, obviously (for MARA).

Double click on it (or, better, select it and use button "Replace placeholders"). That's as good as it gets. You should get something like:

SELECT                                                                                
*                                                                 
FROM                                                                
  "MARA"                                                            
WHERE                                                               
  "MANDT" = '<your_mandt>' AND "MATNR" = '0001'

(remember that mandt is automatically added when accessing the db)
