Select statement

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have a scenario where I need to copy everythng from one of my 'z_test' table(custom table) into my internal table it_tab and for this I have written thr following code, I just want to make sure whether I have written it right or not?

select * into table it_tab

from zbs_test.

Thanks

Of course you could have simply tested this, but yes that is the correct syntax as long as IT_TAB is defined as...

data: IT_TAB type table of zbs_test.

Hi,

to make sure that you have wriiten well for the code , you can check it with sy-subrc

If sy-subrc = 0 , this means that you have copied successfilly .

you can define the code as below:

DATA : it_tab TYPE TABLE OF zbs_test.

Select * from zbs_test into table it_tab.

If sy-subrc EQ 0.

Write: ' Copied successfully '.

else.

write: 'fail to copy'.

endif.

Hope that it will be helpful for you

Looks like your code is good and i am not sure how are you declaring internal table.

Check the below code and here i am using one custom table (ZTEST99).

report ztest_ytt.

tables : ztest99.

• internal table

data i_ztest type standard table of ztest99.

• work area

data wa_ztest like line of i_ztest.

start-of-selection.

• get the data from table

select * from ztest99 into table i_ztest.

if sy-subrc ne 0.

message e000(z01).

endif.

loop at i_ztest into wa_ztest.

write:/ wa_ztest. " use fields

clear : wa_ztest.

endloop.

use internal table with out header line for better performance and also use work area.

Thanks
