abap select into a variable list

former_member97292 — Fri, 10 May 2013 14:14:34 GMT

I have

select lfa1~lifnr

lfa1~name1

lfa1~ort01

lfa1~regio

into gv_lifnr, gv_name1, gv_ort01, gv_regio

from laf1

etc

I have gotten into corresponding to work. According to documentation, INTO a list of variables is supposed to work.

I know. The corresponding works. I am trying to learn to do it this way just for fun. I am simply looking for an answer to my question. What am I doing wrong?

Also, is there one go to web site that has a robust ABAP reference?

Thanks.

help sap.com is an excellent ABAP reference

Have another look at the syntax of INTO - you'll see the variables need to be surround with brackets.

INTO (v1, v2, v3).

What Matthew said, for your current question.

I take it you've tried the onboard ABAP reference? (click on a keyword, such as SELECT, then do F1)

It can be a bit overwhelming when you are new to ABAP. If the onboard docs + help.sap.com aren't doing it for you, you may want to check out some of the ABAP books available at http://www.sap-press.com/ .

Hi Perry ,

U can use

DATA: gv_lifnr LIKE LFA1-LIFNR,
       gv_name1 LIKE LFA1-name1,
       gv_ort01 LIKE LFA1-ort01,
       gv_regio LIKE LFA1-regio.

select SINGLE lfa1~lifnr
           lfa1~name1
           lfa1~ort01
           lfa1~regio from LFA1
           into (gv_lifnr,gv_name1,gv_ort01, gv_regio)

where .......................

etc.
