provide statement

Former Member — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:47:43 GMT

is there any alternative statement instead of using provide?

when we use provide statement in LDB we declare tables and infotypes. is there any other method to use LDB without using this declaration.

can we use provide statement without LDB screen?

The alternative to provide statement specific to HR module is Function Modules

To retreive data from Infotype 0001


  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'
    EXPORTING
     tclas                 = 'A'
      pernr                 = pernr
      infty                 = '0001'
     begda                 = rec-begda
     endda                 = rec-endda
    TABLES
      infty_tab             = p0001
   EXCEPTIONS
     infty_not_found       = 1
     OTHERS                = 2 .
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

please brief more about the requirement if you want further clarification

Reward points please

U can use provide without LDB screen.

provide * from IT_PA0001 between v_date1 and v_date2.

endprovide.

If U don't want to use provide .. endprovide .. just loop thru the

structures U get declaring infotypes....

The statements PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE define a loop through a statement block. In this loop, any number of internal tables itab1 itab2 ... are processed together. A single table can appear several times. For every table itab you must specify a FIELDS clause. After FIELDS you must specify the character * for all components or a list comp1 comp2 ... for specific components of the relevant table. The names of the components comp1 comp2 ... can only be specified directly.

i use this code

PROVIDE pernr uname

FROM p0000

pernr btrtl werks persg persk abkrs uname

FROM p0001

BETWEEN p_edate and p_edate

WHERE p0000-pernr IN p_perno and

p0001-pernr in p_perno.

the p_perno is the custom field.

this statement picks all the pernr from p0000 and p0001.

it does not pick according to the select option.

Your structures p0000 and p0001 has all the records for a

particular pernr ...

instead use macros to read ..

rp-provide from first/last p0000/p0001 space pn-begda pn-endda.

or loop thru p0000 or p0001 .. to get data ..
