This program gives an error on select statement(we cannot use an internal table as workarea)

A few points

TABLES is obsolete. Don't use it
You should post code using the "code" button in the editor
You've got a READ with a result that's not used
If you're using READ you should have a HASHED table not a STANDARD, with READ ... TABLE KEY...
You should joins rather than FOR ALL ENTRIES.
You've got FOUR select statements. Which one is causing trouble?
You've managed to get it right with one of them. I suggest you read carefully all four and try to spot the difference. But you should nonetheless use point 5 above.

Hi,

ABAP Code Checker clearly gives the correct error.

Seems you are missing TABLE keyword in your select queries (SELECT * INTO TABLE).

So IT_T001L, IT_T001W.... are considered as Work Areas and you cannot loop into work areas.

Please check the code once again.

Regards.

OBSOLETE 1 :

TABLES : ZMM_BUSINESS,T001W,T001L,CEPC.

TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_ZMM_BUSINESS,
WERKS TYPE ZMM_BUSINESS-WERKS,
LGORT TYPE ZMM_BUSINESS-LGORT,
PRCTR TYPE ZMM_BUSINESS-PRCTR,
END OF TY_ZMM_BUSINESS.

TO FIX :

Instead of TABLES use Data element

TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_ZMM_BUSINESS,
WERKS TYPE WERKS_D,
LGORT TYPE LGORT_D,
PRCTR TYPE PRCTR,
END OF TY_ZMM_BUSINESS.

ERROR 1 :

SELECT WERKS NAME1 LIFNR FROM T001W INTO IT_T001W FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001L WHERE LIFNR = IT_T001L-LIFNR.

TO FIX :

SELECT WERKS NAME1 LIFNR FROM T001W INTO TABLE IT_T001W FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001L WHERE LIFNR = IT_T001L-LIFNR.

ERROR 2 :

SELECT WERKS NAME1 LIFNR FROM T001W INTO IT_T001W FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001L WHERE LIFNR = IT_T001L-LIFNR.

TO FIX :

SELECT WERKS NAME1 LIFNR FROM T001W INTO TABLE IT_T001W FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001L WHERE LIFNR = IT_T001L-LIFNR.

ERROR 3 :

SELECT PRCTR NAME1 FROM CEPC INTO IT_CEPC FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001W WHERE NAME1 = IT_T001L-NAME1.

TO FIX :

SELECT PRCTR NAME1 FROM CEPC INTO TABLE IT_CEPC FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_T001W WHERE NAME1 = IT_T001W-NAME1.

ERROR 4 :

LOOP AI IT_FINAL INTO WA_FINAL.

TO FIX :

LOOP AT IT_FINAL INTO WA_FINAL.

I have given the snaps by seeing the code any other error comes in feature ping here

We are using the FOR ALL ENTRIES for fetching the details from the respective table, so every time when we use FOR ALL ENTRIES we need to populate the values into Table.

In the above select statement, you have used FOR ALL ENTRIES but didn't used INTO TABLE IT_T001L statement instead you have used INTO IT_T001L.

Replace your code like this.

IF IT_ZMM_BUSINESS[] IS NOT INITIAL.

SELECT LGORT WERKS LIFNR FROM T001L INTO TABLE IT_T001L FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_ZMM_BUSINESS WHERE WERKS = IT_ZMM_BUSINESS-WERKS.

ENDIF.

Thanks,
