Field Selection in Query

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I created a query with a join on 2 tables( Table A and B). B may not have records all the time so I joined them with left outer join. Now I get all records from A based on selection criteria showing blank in fields from B if no entries are found in B.

Now I have entires from B that repeat in output. I want to stop multiple entries from B (Eg: value field). I have 2 entries in table B, with value 0 and value $$. <b>I want all entries from A with entries from B ( but only those entries from B that have value $$) AND blank entries but NOT entries with value=0.</b> I cannot select value field in <i>selection</i> and do an exclusion as this will exclude my blank entries from table B.

Is there a way to select entries from 1 table based on a field entry eg: Select only those fields with value $$ but NOT Value 00, while joining tables in Query.

Thanks

May be like this

select * from B into table itabB where <<condition>>

loop at itabB

<<<< filter records according your condition

endloop

select * from a into table itabA for all entries in itabB where <<condition if any>>

you can do a where condition as below example..

SELECT
    SALESREP.EMPID,
    ORDERNO,
    CUSTID,
    ORDDATE,
    BILLED,
    PAID
FROM
    SJD.SALESREP SALESREP
    LEFT OUTER JOIN SJD.SALESORD SALESORD
    ON
    SALESREP.EMPID = SALESORD.EMPID
WHERE
    SALESORD.PAID NE 00.

if the VALUE field is numc then in where condition, here SPACE considered as 00


WHERE
    SALESORD.PAID NE 00.    " << here 00 also considered as space
