select query for column

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone tell how to restrict columns while fetching from database.

For ex take the table MARA.

If i enter 3 i should get only 3 columns from MARA table.

I am trying with select query.Is it possible ??

Thanks,

Mohan.

Use upto n rows addition to select

For example select * from mara up to 3 rows into mara where matnr in s_matnr.

Hello,

I think you can try this from a dynamic select query.

In DD03L, you can get the field name and field position.

With these field position numbers, get the field names and try to build a dynamic select query.

I hope this will work.

Thanks,

Hi ,

You can use dynamic select query...

Hope this code helps.

In case you have doubts.. reply back..

parameters: p_fld1 type fieldname,
            p_tab1 type tabname.
 
types: begin of tp_table,
        field type string,
       end of tp_table.

Hi Mohan,

Find the below code to restrict the columns while querying the DB. The no. of columns can be changed

dynamically. I'm explaining this with VBAK table.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_fields,
       field TYPE fieldname,
       pos TYPE position,
       END OF ty_fields.

TYPES: ty_columns TYPE fieldname.

DATA: it_fields TYPE TABLE OF ty_fields,
      it_vbak TYPE TABLE OF vbak,
      it_columns TYPE TABLE OF ty_columns,
      wa_fields TYPE ty_fields,
      wa_columns TYPE ty_columns.

CONSTANTS: w_first TYPE tabfdpos VALUE 1.

PARAMETERS: p_column TYPE tabfdpos. "Specify no. of columns

START-OF-SELECTION.
  SELECT fieldname
         position FROM dd03l
         INTO TABLE it_fields
         WHERE tabname EQ 'VBAK' AND
               position BETWEEN w_first AND p_column.

  SORT it_fields BY pos. " Sort by field position (now it is by name)

  LOOP AT it_fields INTO wa_fields. 
    MOVE wa_fields-field TO wa_columns.
    APPEND wa_columns TO it_columns.
  ENDLOOP.

  SELECT (it_columns) FROM vbak INTO TABLE it_vbak.

Revert in case of any issue.
