Thanks Jamie,,,

But thats the code I used when I encounter an error ...

Seem not to work..

if you use select * ... use ENDSELECT incase not importing to internal table...

other wise it will work perfectly.

if u use select statement fetching the data into an internal table then u won't have this problem

select * from trans_table into table itab where cond.

eg:

case 'X'.

when 0.

select statement.

when 1.

select statement.

when others .

select statement.

end case.

Hi Mark,

Why did you get error it is perfectly work.

Try this code.

Data t_table type table of spfli with header line.

data w_temp type c value 'X'.

Case w_temp.

when 'X'.

Select * from spfli into table t_table.

endcase.
