Problem with left outer join + table AUSP

[Former Member]

Hello,

I was trying to do a SELECT statement reading data from mara and AUSP. Therefore I want to use a left outer join. The problem is that it doesn't want to accept the on clause using the OBJEK attribut in AUSP. The Strange thing is that I know that I could access it in another programm.

TABLES: ausp, mara.

* temporary table to work with
DATA:
BEGIN OF line,
* Attributes from AUSP
atwrt TYPE AUSP-atwrt,
ATINN TYPE AUSP-ATINN,
OBJEK TYPE AUSP-OBJEK,
* Attributes from MARA
mbrsh TYPE mara-mbrsh,
MANDT TYPE mara-MANDT,
MATNR TYPE mara-MATNR,
* ...
END OF line,
itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF line
                WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY MATNR.
* Put the requested values in temporary table
SELECT 
ausp-atwrt
ausp-ATINN 
ausp-OBJEK
mara-mbrsh
mara-MANDT
mara-MATNR
* ...
into corresponding fields of table  itab
FROM mara LEFT OUTER JOIN ausp
ON AUSP-OBJEK = MATNR.

There must be a syntax error I don't understand. Can you find it?

you do an array fetch into a sorted table

it´s a wonder that the syntax checker doesnt even whine.

use a standard table and it will work

hm unfortunatley no effect about that, I changed the code like that and same error:

itab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF line
                WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY MATNR.

Hi Daniel,

Here Main problem is that you have to replace - (hyphens) with ~ (Tide's), as well as no need of using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ( as it degrades PERFORMANCE )as shown below:

DATA:
  BEGIN OF line,
*   Attributes from AUSP
    atwrt TYPE AUSP-atwrt,
    ATINN TYPE AUSP-ATINN,
    OBJEK TYPE AUSP-OBJEK,
*   Attributes from MARA
    mbrsh TYPE mara-mbrsh,
    MANDT TYPE mara-MANDT,
    MATNR TYPE mara-MATNR,
*   ...
  END OF line,
  
  itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF line
                  WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY MATNR.
* Put the requested values in temporary table
SELECT ausp~atwrt
        ausp~ATINN 
        ausp~oBJEK
        mara~mbrsh
        mara~MANDT
        mara~MATNR
* ...
into table itab
FROM mara LEFT OUTER JOIN ausp
ON AUSP~OBJEK = mara~MATNR.

Hi I have another problem here. When I try to print the values to screen, I get the error that there is a headline missing.

LOOP AT itab.

WRITE: / itab_{OBJEK, itab}ATINN, itab~atwrt.

ENDLOOP.

Yes, with this kind of tables you need a hear (workarea).

Your workarea in that case is the line structure. You must do your loop like this:

LOOP AT itab into line.

WRITE: / line_{OBJEK, line}ATINN, line~atwrt.

ENDLOOP.

I hope it helps.

Artur.
