FOR ALL ENTRIES usually used to select data from DB based on the values in an internaltable.

for eg:

1)select * from sflight into corresponding fields of table it_sflight.

2)select * from sbook into corresponding fields of table it_sbook

FOR ALL ENTRIES in it_sflight

where carrid = it_sflight-carrid.

SEN,

To select the data from 3 or more tables you have to use inner joins.

For all entries will use only for internal tables.

EX:

You have internal table ITAB1 with some data.

Based on internal table you have to get the data from 3 or more database tables.

In this situation

use innerjoins in select statement for 3 tables

INTO TABLE ITAB2

for all entries in itab1

wher condition...

Don't forget to reward if useful...

SELECT .. FOR ALL ENTRIES was created in OPEN SQL at a time when it was not yet possible to perform database JOINs (this was not supported for all SAP-approved DBMS). The connection between the inner and outer database tables is

created in ABAP. If you want to replace nested SELECT statements with FOR ALL ENTRIES, this only eliminates the nesting and its disadvantages partially. In general,you bundle the inner SELECT statements into packages, for example, of 5 statements each. This reduces the transfer effort required and avoids identical SQL statements. The access sequence is defined in the ABAP coding, like for nested SELECT statements. As mentioned above, if you use FOR ALL ENTRIES, you have to make sure that the driving table is not initial and does not contain any duplicate entries. As in the case of nested SELECT statements, the decision of whether an INNER JOIN or OUTER JOIN is performed is also made in the ABAP program for SELECT ..FOR ALL ENTRIES. If you want to read large data volumes, you should only use

FOR ALL ENTRIES in exceptional cases.

Hi

Please check below code which downloads records from 3 tables into excel file.

if you want other file means you can specify other file type in the fm parameter
