Join retrieving duplicate records

[Former Member]

Can someone tell me why I am returning 10 records when there only should be one. I can put in a delete duplicates record after this but i would prefer to know what is wrong with the below. Tnks.

SELECT MARA_{MATNR MARA}PRDHA

MAKT_{MAKTX T179T}VTEXT

APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE GT_WK_STORAGE

FROM MARA AS MARA

INNER JOIN MAKT AS MAKT

ON MARA_{MATNR EQ MAKT}MATNR

AND SPRAS EQ SY-LANGU

INNER JOIN T179T AS T179T

ON MARA_{PRDHA EQ T179T}PRODH

WHERE MARA~MATNR IN S_MATNR.

Hi,

I see one error in your code:

+FROM MARA AS MARA

INNER JOIN MAKT AS MAKT

ON MARA_{MATNR EQ MAKT}MATNR

AND SPRAS EQ SY-LANGU+

how can you pretend to join tables MARA and MAKT with field SPRAS, when this field does not exist in MARA ??

I think you should modify your code this way:

SELECT MATNR PRDHA

into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF GT_WK_STORAGE

from mara

WHERE MATNR IN S_MATNR.

SELECT single MAKT_{MAKTX T179T}VTEXT

into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF GT_WK_STORAGE

FROM makt inner join T179T

ON MAKT_{SPRAS EQ T179T}SPRAS

WHERE MAKT~MATNR = GT_WK_STORAGE-MATNR

and spras = sy-langu.

append GT_WK_STORAGE.

endselect.

Check the code, that I didn´t do it in SAP.

Tnks but the code is not incorrect.

Both tables MAKT and T179T have Language as part of their key so..

SELECT MARA_{MATNR MARA}PRDHA

MAKT_{MAKTX T179T}VTEXT

APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE GT_WK_STORAGE

FROM MARA AS MARA

INNER JOIN MAKT AS MAKT

ON MARA_{MATNR EQ MAKT}MATNR

INNER JOIN T179T AS T179T

ON MARA_{PRDHA EQ T179T}PRODH

WHERE MARA~MATNR IN S_MATNR

<i> AND MAKT~SPRAS = SY-LANGU

AND T179T~SPRAS = SY-LANGU.</i>

One issue to be careful with is if the texts are not maintained in all sign-on languages. If they are not, you will not select anything!

Thats it . Thanks.

Yeah aware of inner join part but it forces them to make sure that they are maintained.

Points awarded and thank you for you time.

Tried to award you points but got an error message. Not sure if you got them.

Hi,

I don't see why this would give you duplicate enteries (it should not).

However I see that you are using the APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS statement which may possibly lead to duplicates if your SELECT statement is within a LOOP.

Hope it helps
