Select Statement without INTO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I notice some standard programs are using select statement without the INTO clause. Why is it possible? Following is an example I found:

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM DFKKKO

WHERE OPBEL = i_dfkkcoh-data1.

{/code}

Hi,

If the report or program already has DFKKKO declared in tables section.

e.g.:- tables DFKKKO.

Then explicit into clause is not required.

It will select the data into workarea.

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM DFKKKO

WHERE OPBEL = i_dfkkcoh-data1.

Hi,

Where ever you find selects without the INTO clause, they must have declared a TABLES statement.

For Eg,

TABLES: DFKKKO.

SELECT SINGLE *
FROM DFKKKO
WHERE OPBEL = i_dfkkcoh-data1.

The tables statement generates a workarea similar to the structure of DFKKKO and will store the result into it directly without the need for specifying the INTO clause

It's possible in Native SQl.

Native sql is written using the statement EXEC.
