How to use reference parameters (BAPI Import Parameters) in SQL statements

[Former Member]

Dear SAP gurus

I have a question on using parameters passed in a custom BAPI in SQL statements.

I am sending 2 parameters TABLENAME, COLUMNNAME into a custom bapi.

In the BAPI I need to give an sql command some thing like

select * from TABLENAME where COLUMNNAME = '100'.

Where TABLENAME and COLUMNAME may vary depend on what parameters are sent while calling this BAPI.

Even defining an internal table that has the structure of TABLENAME is not working.

I used the following statement 'data: ls_TABLENAME type TABLENAME', which generates error message saying TABLENAME is unknons.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

As far as I know you can not give parameter to a select query like that. You should describe the tablename and the columnname as string type. Then assign the values to them you want to use in query.

data: str_table type string.

data: str_column type string.

select * from (str_table) into <g_t_table> where (str_column) = '100'.

If the table name is not determined until runtime, you must specify an output area with INTO .
