Hi,

From performance point of view its always better to have key fields in the where clause of select statement and if you dont have any key field in where clause the second best option is to have a field which have index in the table.

hi

since matnr is your index field so matnr will not match directly to your standard table matnr.

so do one thing when you are fetching the record from z table then first fetch the record in internal table then convert the data type of your indexed matnr to your standard one, then match the record by read table and fill in final one/

Hi JNJ,

you can use select following statment :

select maex_{alnum ztable}field1 field2....

into table itab from maex

inner join ztable on maex_{matnr = ztable}matnr

where ...
