Error: SAPSQL_INVALID_FIELDNAME

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have an issue with an ABAP load program that uploads a spreadsheet and calls a function module to update prices via IDoc. This program is a generic load program to maintain SD and MM pricing. The issue is that the user is getting a short dump with the

error <b>'SAPSQL_INVALID_FIELDNAME</b>'.

And the <i>error analysis says:</i>

SELECT clause was specified in an internal table at runtime. It contains the fieldname "ZZJ_3AGEND", but this doesn't occur in any of the database tables listed in the FROM clause.

It says the error is in the lines:

FORM edit_other USING p_key.

DATA count_rows TYPE i.

IF NOT itab_dd03l-checktable IS INITIAL.

CLEAR where_tab.

REFRESH where_tab.

CONCATENATE itab_dd03l-fieldname ' = ''' p_key ''''

INTO where_tab

.

APPEND where_tab.

-

---

> SELECT COUNT( * )

INTO count_rows

FROM (itab_dd03l-checktable)

WHERE (where_tab). { Error is Here}

Here where_tab is an internal table which is filled up at runtime. And select statement is in error.

How to rectify it??

Please help and advise.

Thanks,

I think the below code is trying to find out no. of rows for given condition. Here, may be you can use

DESCRIBE TABLE <tablename> LINES <lines>.

DATA: LV_LINES TYPE I.

DATA: BEGIN OF IT_FIELDNAME OCCURS 0,

FIELDNAME TYPE FIELDNAME,

END OF IT_FIELDNAME.

SELECT <FIELDNAME>

INTO (IT_FIELDNAME)

FROM (itab_dd03l-checktable)

WHERE (where_tab). { Error is Here}

DESCRIBE TABLE IT_FIELDNAME LINES LV_LINES.

Hi,

Thank you for reply. But the problem here is with the 'WHERE' condition. the where_tab has a entry or a condition with a particular field. And this field is not in itab_dd03l-checktable.

Please advise.

Hi,

Execute the program again..After it goes to short dump..Press the debugging screen..it will stop at the SQL select

-

---

> SELECT COUNT( * )

INTO count_rows

FROM (itab_dd03l-checktable)

WHERE (where_tab).

Now in the debugging..check what is the value in the variable ITAB_DD03L-checktable..

Take that value ..and go to se11 and give that value..Check in the table if the corresponding field ZZ_J3AGEND is available or not..

Thanks,

Hi Naren,

Thanks. I looked at it. The table has no field ZZ_J3AGEND in it. So what should i do now?

Please suggest.

Thanks,

In that case you need to check if the table name getting stored in "itab_dd03l-checktable" is a correct table or not.

I mean, is that the table which has this field name or not.

Thanks,
