Offset in Select Query

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can we use offset in select statement. I was trying to compare the year and month of MBEWH table with the LINV table. MBEWH has seperate fields for year and month but LINV table has a date field.

TYPES:BEGIN OF TY_MBEWH,

lfgja type lfgja,

lfmon type lfmon,

END OF TY_MBEWH.

Data: T_MBEWH TYPE TABLE OF TY_MBEWH,

WA_MBEWH TYPE TY_MBEWH.

Select MBEWH_{LFGJA MBEWH}LFMON

INTO TABLE T_MBEWH FROM MBEWH INNER JOIN LINV

ON MBEWH_{MATNR = LINV}MATNR

where MBEWH_{BWKEY = LINV}WERKS

and MBEWH_{LFGJA >= *LINV}IDATU(4)*

and MBEWH~LFMON > LINV.IDATU+4(2).

When I execute the above code Iam getting "Field LINV~IDATU is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a DATA statement.

well you can do that offset actiojn BEFORE yourselect into another variable.

then use this variable in your select.

Hi,

For this error, declare in the top of the program as TABLES: LINV.We have to define the tables used in the program. Hope this will solve the issue.

Not in any recent version of SAP you don't.

Hi,

Whenever you use offset in select query both the fields length(comparing fields after off setting) should be same.

in your case MBEWH_{LFMON length should equal to the length of LINV}IDATU+4(2). then it works.

Hi

Select MBEWH_{LFGJA MBEWH}LFMON

INTO TABLE T_MBEWH FROM MBEWH INNER JOIN LINV

ON MBEWH_{MATNR = LINV}MATNR

where MBEWH_{BWKEY = LINV}WERKS

and MBEWH_{LFGJA >= LINV}IDATU(4)

and MBEWH~LFMON > LINV.IDATU+4(2).

i think this "LINV.IDATU4(2)" instead should be LINV~IDATU4(2).

No we cannot use offset in select query.

take this LINV~IDATU(4) in some other variable and use that variable in query.

Hi Suresh,

Try it this way:

W_YEAR  = LINV-IDATU+0(4).
W_MONTH = LINV-IDATU+4(2).

Select MBEWH~LFGJA MBEWH~LFMON 
INTO TABLE T_MBEWH FROM MBEWH INNER JOIN LINV
ON MBEWH~MATNR EQ LINV~MATNR
where MBEWH~BWKEY EQ LINV~WERKS
and MBEWH~LFGJA GE W_YEAR
and MBEWH~LFMON GT W_MONTH.

With luck,

Pritam.

Hi ,

Right hand side of select query should contain some variable or constants. As said in the previous reply first keep the data LINV~IDATU(4) in some variable and use this variable in the select statement.

Hi,

I cant take the field LINV~IDATU(4) into a variable as this field is used in inner joins. Iam comparing two table fields using joins.

Also LINV is declared in tables statement.

Suresh

Mario,

First write a select only for LINV table and get the data of field IDATU in some itab-IDATU than use offset of IDATU(4) and take in itab-temp and use this itab-temp varibale in your join ferther.

LINV.IDATU+4(2)
