whenever u use select options u have to use IN operator in select options

eq: select-options: so_matnr type mara-matnr.

*select * from mara into table itab where matnr IN so_matnr*

[Former Member]

selection-option : s_matnr for mara-matnr.

when you enter 1 to 100 in the material number selection screen.

select * from mara into table itab where matnr in s_matnr.

here it will check the ranges of material 1 to 100.

IN Means

select the material from mara where material in between 1 to 100.

Hi,

IN Operator is similar to Between Operator in SQL.

It makes Select statement to fetch data between a range.

Hope U understand.

Thanks,

SELECT *

INTO TABLE itab

FROM ztable

WHERE customer = p_customer

AND payment_status IN ('01','02').

here u will get all the data from ztable where payment_status = 01

and all the data from ztable where payment_status = 02.

hope this helps

Hi,

We use IN when we need to select data with select-options and ranges.

Select-options and ranges have the structure:

Sign

Option

Low

High

Sign can be I (include of selection) and E (Exclude of selection)

Option can be EQ, NE, GT, GE, LT, LE, BT...

Select-options and ranges are internal tables, so they have many occurs.
