I have Validity Date (DATAB) & Created Date (ERDAT) in my ZTable. I want to select records from EKBE where the BUDAT field is in between DATAB & ERDAT. I wanted to get it done in a single select query. I got my result from the following code. but it shows syntax error.
SELECT a~bukrs, a~werks, a~sl_no, a~ebeln, a~ebelp, a~matnr, a~bdatj, a~poper, a~bsart, a~lifnr, a~kschl, a~ernam, a~erdat, a~datbi, a~datab, a~meins, a~mwskz, a~kbetr_cr, a~kbetr_pr, b~belnr, b~budat,c~knumv, d~menge
FROM zco_poamd AS a
INNERJOIN ekbe AS b
ON a~werks = b~werks
AND a~matnr = b~matnr
AND a~ebeln = b~ebeln
AND a~ebelp = b~ebelp
AND a~bdatj = b~gjahr
AND b~vgabe ='1'AND b~bwart IN('101','102','107','108','122','161','162','543','922')
WHERE b~budat >= a~datab
AND b~budat <= a~erdat.But my doubt is, why can't I get it done by the following code?
...WHERE b~budat BETWEEN a~datab AND a~erdat.Like Mr. Horst Keller suggested, I understood that only host variables can be declared in the interval for the BETWEEN keyword. But as SAP HELP says, if BETWEEN keyword behaves similar to "b~budat >= a~datab AND b~budat <= a~erdat", why doesn't the keyword work like that and instead gives the syntax error "Incorrect expression "BETWEEN A~DATAB" in logical condition"...?

BETWEEN is stricter than simple comparisons. Only numeric columns can be compared.
It is under discussion to remove the restriction at least for NUMC, DATS, TIMS, ...
Thanks for link Mr. Keller. Now I understand why I was not able to do it the way I wanted to.

My in between value range must be taken from the base table of the Select query, not through Select-options. I completed my requirement, I just want to understand the architecture of the BETWEEN keyword in SELECT statement.
