Hi,

SELECT

Syntax

SELECT result

FROM source

INTO|APPENDING target

[[FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab] WHERE sql_cond]

.

...

.

Effect

SELECT is an Open-SQL-statement for reading data from one or several database tables into data objects.

The select statement reads a result set (whose structure is determined in result ) from the database tables specified in source, and assigns the data from the result set to the data objects specified in target. You can restrict the result set using the WHERE addition. The addition GROUP BY compresses several database rows into a single row of the result set. The addition HAVING restricts the compressed rows. The addition ORDER BY sorts the result set.

The data objects specified in target must match the result set result. This means that the result set is either assigned to the data objects in one step, or by row, or by packets of rows. In the second and third case, the SELECT statement opens a loop, which which must be closed using ENDSELECT. For every loop pass, the SELECT-statement assigns a row or a packet of rows to the data objects specified in target. If the last row was assigned or if the result set is empty, then SELECT branches to ENDSELECT . A database cursor is opened implicitly to process a SELECT-loop, and is closed again when the loop is ended. You can end the loop using the statements from section leave loops.

Up to the INTO resp. APPENDING addition, the entries in the SELECTstatement define which data should be read by the database in which form. This requirement is translated in the database interface for the database system´s programming interface and is then passed to the database system. The data are read in packets by the database and are transported to the application server by the database server. On the application server, the data are transferred to the ABAP program´s data objects in accordance with the data specified in the INTO and APPENDING additions.

E.g.

PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom, 
            p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto. 

DATA: BEGIN OF wa, 
         fldate TYPE sflight-fldate, 
         carrname TYPE scarr-carrname, 
         connid   TYPE spfli-connid, 
       END OF wa. 

DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa 
               WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid. 

SELECT c~carrname p~connid f~fldate 
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab 
       FROM ( ( scarr AS c 
         INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON p~carrid   = c~carrid 
                              AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr 
                              AND p~cityto   = p_cityto ) 
         INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON f~carrid = p~carrid 
                                AND f~connid = p~connid ). 

LOOP AT itab INTO wa. 
  WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid. 
ENDLOOP.
