Select with 3 PARAMETERS

[Former Member]

Hey,

I have 3 PARAMETERS that I use for a SELECT-Statement:

    SELECT * FROM sflights2.
      IF sflights2-connid  = connid  AND
         sflights2-carrid  = airline AND
         sflights2-fldate  = fldate.

        WRITE / sflights2-seatsmax.
        WRITE   sflights2-seatsocc under text-003.
      ENDIF.
    ENDSELECT.

But all three fields are not obligatory and if some of these fields

are empty I would like to ignore them or place wildcards.

I tried it like this:

IF connid   IS INITIAL. connid  = ''. endif.

Doesn't work. What is the wildcard?

thanks

chris

A quick solution is to Replace the Parameter declaration with Select-options.

And in the select query use 'IN' operation instead of '='.

Hi,

If u r using parameters then u need to pass values means that should be obligatory other wise it won't pick data.Use select-options instead of parameters.

HI,

do like this.

tables:sflights2.

if connid is not initial and airline is not initial and fldate is not initial.

SELECT * FROM sflights2 where connid = connid AND carrid = airline and fldate = fldate.

WRITE / sflights2-seatsmax.

WRITE sflights2-seatsocc under text-003.

ENDSELECT.

endif.

rgds,

Thanks @all.

Your first solution seems to work:

SELECT-OPTIONS airline FOR sflights2-carrid DEFAULT 'AZ' NO-EXTENSION.
SELECT-OPTIONS connid  FOR sflights2-connid  NO-EXTENSION.
SELECT-OPTIONS fldate  FOR sflights2-fldate DEFAULT '20071017' NO-EXTENSION.
...

  SELECT * FROM sflights2.
    IF sflights2-connid  IN connid  AND
       sflights2-carrid  IN airline AND
       sflights2-fldate  IN fldate.

      WRITE / sflights2-seatsmax.
      WRITE   sflights2-seatsocc UNDER text-003.
    ENDIF.
  ENDSELECT.

I tried something like your soloution, but then ALL fields are obligatory. But

what happend if connid OR fldate is empty?

@Chandrasekhar

Here would also an error been thrown if one field is empty. But to work with itab

is a nice idea. thx

thank you all

try this.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,
            seatsmax like sflights2-seatsmax,
            seatsocc like sflights-seatsocc,
         end of itab.

SELECT seatsmax seatsocc
             FROM sflights2 into table itab
      where connid  = connid  AND
               carrid  = airline AND
               fldate  = fldate.
 loop at itab.
        WRITE / itab-seatsmax.
        WRITE   itab-seatsocc.
 ENdloop.

Hi Chris,

Use a SELECT-OPTION with "no-extension" and "no intervals" additions to make the control look like parameter. And use the IN operator in the SELECT/WHERE statement.

With parameter control in WHERE clause you have to use LIKE operator which can be used only in c type of variables or in IF clause a CP operator, but both are expensive and not useful always. Hope this helps.
