How to avoid end-select in the sel;ect statement

[Former Member]

Hi All

i have the following select statement,

SELECT KBETR FROM KONV

INTO (V_EXDUTY) UP TO 1 ROWS

WHERE KNUMV = VBRK-KNUMV

AND KSCHL = 'JEXP'

AND KPOSN = VBFA-POSNN.

ENDSELECT.

now i want to know the alternative stat for this one by removing the end-select. and also explain me why do we use select ..... end-select. brief explanation is appreciated.

thanks in advance

hi,

u can use SELECT SINGLE ...since u r using select upto 1 rows. they hv used select upto 1 rows...as they are passing partial primary keys. there is a possibility that u mite have more than one matching records.

u can use "select..into table" and use some condition to retrieve the specific record.

Hi,

Here you can use select single on behalf of ..Upto 1 row.

But select single gives best performance only if you accessed using full primary key. Otherwise upto 1 row gives its best if you specifying a partial key...
