Hi,

this is the error :

The addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES" excludes all aggregate functions with the exception of "COUNT( * )" as the single element of the SELECT clause.

check for the value in sy-dbcnt after getting the entries in

internal table ..

Hi Ricardo, Treat this as a limitation from SAP as FOR ALL ENTRIES can not accept few clauses like ORDER BY, HAVING... I doubt if we can find a way to go without further manipulations. Though it is a bit tedious two ways to acheive the result as you might be knowing are: 1. Build a range for Project and use the same avoiding FOR ALL ENTRIES 2. LOOP on first internal table and use APPENDING table instead of INTO TABLE.

Hi Ricardo,

There is a way to achieve your functionality but not like the way that you've mentioned above.

you need to populate the table using Select ...Endselect within which you need to populate the project name into the internal table. i.e.. write only count(*) inside the Select query. But this is an obsolete and a worst way to achieve this.

Otherwise, you need to write a logic after populating the internal table with project names for counting them.

Or you add a field which is an integer and collect the internal table so that that field adds up to the count.

You can just count the number of records in it_e

ie,

Data :

count type i.

Describe table it_e LINES COUNT.

Now count contains the number of records.

hi ,

check this example.....

tables:pa0008.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

pernr like pa0008-pernr,

begda like pa0008-begda,

ansal like pa0008-ansal,

count type i,

end of itab.

select-options:s_pernr for pa0008-pernr.

select pernr

count(*) as count

from pa0008

into corresponding fields of table itab

where pernr in s_pernr

group by pernr .

sort itab by pernr.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-pernr,

itab-count .

endloop.

hi frinds,

Thanks i solve it with ranges,

LOOP AT proj ASSIGNING <fs_p>.

    proj_tab-sign = 'I'.
    proj_tab-option = 'EQ'.
    proj_tab-low = <fs_p>-ybproject.

    APPEND p_tab.

  ENDLOOP.



  SELECT  dimybproject COUNT(*) AS cnt
  FROM /bic/0czempl
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_e
  WHERE dimybproject IN p_tab
  GROUP BY dimybproject.

Regards
