Hi,

This select statement means that select all the data from kna1 where kunnr. Like statement is using the WIld card Characters *,%.

So that you can place any combination there.

E.g

select * from kna1 where kunnr like 'S%'.

means select all the data where kunnr is having the S as first Character.

Same as for 2nd question.

HTH,
