case sensitivity select statement without using native sql

[Former Member]

please help me ,

i have a selection screen as select-options : s_vbeln, s_kunnr(mandt),s_matnr and

p_name as a parameter (type name1) which is case sensitive in sap abap database and i want to get

output  from these fields in an alv.[vbeln,kunnr,name1,audat,auart,matnr,kwmeng,netwr]

How to do it? Can any one give me solution please.[i have to handle case sensitivity plz give me solution]

[Former Member]

hi sharan,

change p_name to upper or lower case to avoid problems in case sensitive.

TRANSLATE p_name TO UPPER CASE.

or

TRANSLATE p_name TO LOWERCASE.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

use KNA1-MCOD1 and not KNA1-NAME1 for F4 selection.

Hi,

ANother way is you can select everything from database and then select from internal table based on 'CS'.

The below statement will identify both upper and lower case.

data itab type STANDARD TABLE OF pa0002.

data wa type pa0002.

select * from pa0002 into table itab.

Loop at itab into wa.

  if wa-nachn cs 'xyz'.

    write 'success'.

   endif.

  endloop.

Kindly check the performance issue.

Hi Mohit,

The solution will be applicable only if the selection for the field alone is not the key field in filtering records.

Hi,

You just need to mention delete t_final where name1 ns p_name1.

[Former Member]

Hi,

please insert two green code lines into your code:

if p_name1 is not initial.
  r_name-sign = 'I'.
  r_name-option = 'EQ'.

  if p_name1 ca '*'.
    r_name-option = 'CP'.
  endif.

  r_name-low = p_name1.
  translate r_name-low to upper case.
  append r_name.
endif.

...
w_final-name1  = w_kna1-name1.
translate w_final-name1 to upper case.
append w_final to t_final.

This will give you the right data selection. If you neen the original value of name1, then you need an additional fiield in table w_final:

w_final-name1  = w_kna1-name1.

w_final-name1uc  = w_kna1-name1.

translate w_final-name1uc to upper case.

append w_final to t_final.

and you have to change the DELETE from

delete t_final where name1 not in r_name.

to

delete t_final where name1uc not in r_name.

Hi Teja,

As in DB all CHAR type values get stored in Upper case only. Its good practice to convert user input from selection screen into Uppercase.

Use TRANSLATE P_Name TO UPPER CASE. before passing the values in select query.

hi teja,

try like below code ,

tables : vbak , vbap,kna1.

select-options : s_vbeln for vbak-vbeln,

                  s_kunnr for vbak-kunnr,

                  s_matnr for vbap-matnr,

                  s_name1 for kna1-name1.

select a~vbeln a~audat a~auart a~kunnr

         b~matnr b~netwr b~kwmeng

         c~name1 

   from vbak AS a

   INNER JOIN vbap AS b ON a~vbeln = b~vbeln

   INNER JOIN kna1 AS c ON a~kunnr = c~kunnr

       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_final

       WHERE a~vbeln IN s_vbeln AND a~kunnr IN s_kunnr AND b~matnr IN s_matnr AND c~name1 IN s_name1.

hi teja,

If your customer name is like say  'Test'  then your uppercase and lowercase will not work .

[Former Member]

Hi sharan,

there are already threads about this subject but since you've gotten so many different answers I'll clarify a bit...

The only problematic field you have is kna1-name1, the case sensitive one. There is one kna1-mcod1 that might have that value in uppercase, not always because of different field sizes, so your search could use mcod1 instead (this is what standard does).

Check first with business to know if you can do it like this (add other fields):

select-options: s_name1 for kna1-mcod1.

and:

select * from kna1 into table it_customers where mcod1 in s_name1.

If you can't you'll have to swipe all records and translate everything to uppercase. Like:

select-options: s_name1 for something char35 in uppercase only.

and then:

select * from kna1.

     translate kna1-name1 to uppercase.

     if kna1-name1 in s_name1.

          append kna1 to it_customers.

     endif.

endselect.

The first option is always the preferred one.

regards,

Edgar

Oh, I used select-options instead of parameters because it's makes more sense, convert your parameter to a range if required.
