Select statement in ABAP

[ashwin_mundkur]

Hi,

I have a table with couple of GUID fields. Primary key is the main GUID. I have another field by name temp_guid which can have the normal guid values or 00000000000000000000000000000000. I want to write a select statement as follows:

My table name : X

Field required : temp_guid

Select temp_guid FROM X where del_ind = gc_no AND temp_guid is NOT (??)

I dont want to select those rows where temp_guid has the value 00000000000000000000000000000000.

I tried with IS NOT NULL. It doesnt seem to be working. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Ashwin

Hi,

well, probably the most correct thing to do, is to declare a constant of the same type as temp_guid, with the value '00000000000000000000000000000000' and use it in the select statement with the NE condition.

..otherwise the condition would depend on the type of temp_guid..

Hi Stano,

I was aware of this option. I was thinking whether we have a standard syntax to get the values. I will go ahead with the comparison for values.

thanks,

try sth like this:

data h_guid type guid.

clear h_guid.

...

select ....

and temp_guid <> h_guid...

Give this a try:

REPORT ztest LINE-SIZE 80 MESSAGE-ID 00.

RANGES: r_gui FOR x-temp_guid.

CLEAR   r_gui.
MOVE '00000000000000000000000000000000' TO r_gui-low.
MOVE 'EQ'     TO r_gui-option.
MOVE 'E'      TO r_gui-sign.        "<=== Note
APPEND  r_gui.

SELECT temp_guid
  FROM x
  WHERE del_ind = gc_no
    AND temp_guid IN r_gui.

Hi,

Declare a range.

range r_xx for x_temp_guid.

*population.

r_xx-sign = 'E'. "Exclude

r_xx-option = 'EQ'.

r_xx-low = '00000000000000000000000000000000'.

append r_xx.

*select statement

Select temp_guid FROM X where del_ind = gc_no AND temp_guid in r_xx.

You will get it.
