[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to select a table from the parameters (range ) , but every time i run it give me a dump witn error in where ...(itab)

First i declare :

data : cond(72) TYPE C,

itab LIKE TABLE OF cond .

select-options: p_auart FOR vbak-auart ,

p_vkorg FOR vbak-vkorg.

--->

If not p_auart is initial.

cond = 'auart IN p_auart' .

APPEND cond To itab.

endif.

the i do select:

Select * from vbak where (itab).

---> I give a dum in where clause....

So could you please help me out of this

Thanks

Hi Friend,

Make the following corrections.Your code will work fine.

By the statement- 'itab LIKE TABLE OF cond .' you meant to create a table of the type 'COND' which should be a structure.

So, here lies the problem.In your case COND is a char type variable and you are trying to mimic the table 'itab' from it.

As a rule of thumb,a table should mimic a std., table or a structure.

So remove the following lines:

data : cond(72) TYPE C,

itab LIKE TABLE OF cond .

Include the following lines:

type: begin og itab_record,

cond(72) TYPE C,

end of itab_record."Declaration of structure itab_record.

data: itab type standard table of itab_record initial size 0 with header line."Declaration of the table itab which mimics the structure itab_record.

Modify these two statements,

cond = 'auart IN p_auart' .

APPEND cond To itab.

to

itab_record-cond = 'auart IN p_auart' .

append itab_record.

Other lines are exact,make these changes,execute it and seek my assistance if necessary.

The best way is to check the contents of ITAB in debug mode.

As per what i see you havent handled the case whereby no input is given to select-option.

Moreover P_AUART is select-option, so your condition should be:

If not p_auart[] is initial.  " Note the brackets '[]' as p_auart should be treated as internal table, p_auart without brackets is considered as the WA and it will be empty
