Hi,

How can I work with header, line item, and a cache techniques using hashed tables?

Thanks,

Shah.

Hi,

Here is an example to clarify the ideas:

In general, every time you have a header-> lines structure you have a unique key for the lines that has at least header key plus one or more fields. I'll make use of this fact.

I'll try to put an example of how to work with header -> line items and a cache technique using hashed tables.

Just suppose that you need a list of all the material movements '101'-'901' for a certain range of dates in mkpf-budat. We'll extract these fields:

mkpf-budat

mkpf-mblnr,

mseg-lifnr,

lfa1-name1,

mkpf-xblnr,

mseg-zeile

mseg-charg,

mseg-matnr,

makt-maktx,

mseg-erfmg,

mseg-erfme.

I'll use two cache: one for maintaining lfa1 related data and the other to maintain makt related data. Also I'll only describe the data gathering part. The showing of the data is left to your own imagination.

The main ideas are:

1. As this is an example I won't use inner join. If properly desingned may be faster .

2. I'll use four hashed tables: ht_mkpf, ht_mseg, ht_lfa1 and ht_makt to get data into memory. Then I'll collect all the data I want to list into a fifth table ht_lst.

3. ht_mkpf should have (at least) mkpf's primary key fields : mjahr, mblnr.

4. ht_mseg should have (at least) mseg primary key fields: mjahr mblnr and zeile.

5. ht_lfa1 should have an unique key by lifnr.

6. ht_makt should have an unique key by matnr.

7. I prefer using with header line because makes the code easier to follow and understand. The waste of time isn't quite significant (in my experience at least).

Note: When I've needed to work from header to item lines then I added a counter in ht_header that maintains the count of item lines, and I added an id in the ht_lines so I can read straight by key a given item line. But this is very tricky to implement and to follow. (Nevertheless I've programmed it and it works well.)

The data will be read in this sequence:

select data from mkpf into table ht_mkpf

select data from mseg int table ht_mseg having in count all the data in ht_mkpf

loop at ht_mseg (lines)

filter unwanted records

read cache for lfa1 and makt

fill in ht_lst and collect data

endloop.
