Have a look at below link for procedure of creating secondary indexes:

Also have a look at below link which will show you how to use the same effectively in SELECT statement.

Hi Rams,

Are you selecting data in a single shot or are you using SELECT.. ENDSELECT..

One way that you can do is, use SELECT * INTO TABLE ITAB where primarykey = XYZ.

Check the below links to get the help on SECONDARY INDEX.

if you want to create secondary index for your table - please check all programs where this table is used to buld index which can be useful for different programs, you may add some more fields or put them into order which will suit most of the programs.

The index is used by DB automatically, AFTER reorg/runstats on DB.

Hi Rams,

Your Z table has only one field as primary key and you are using that key in the where clause. The database automatically creates an index on the primary key. So there is no requirement of creating a secondary index. Your primary index would be used in your select query.

If you are using Select *, it might help if you specify the fields that you are using in your program instead of picking all fields of your table.

Also in case you are using Select-Endselect it would be better to instead pick up all the data in one shot in an internal table and then loop at that internal table to process each record.

Try this and see if your performance improves.

Hi ram,

First we need to know how you have coded.There are lot of ways to improve the performance.You have mentioned already you are accesing the table by primary key .No problem.

Paste your code first
