Select without into clause

[Former Member]

Hi gurus!

It is often necessary to know if some entry exists in the database table. There is an addition 'TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS' for read table statement. But I couldn't find something like it for the select statement. Maybe I should use another statement for my requirement?

Thanks in advance.

tables : mara.

select single * from mara where .....

if sy-subrc = 0.

<record exist>

else.

<no>

endif.

Thanks, but here you declare structure mara, i.e. you use this structure as container for the selection...

that is correct but that is table work area where it should take the value...i think no other options are there to check that.

Ok. Most likely you are right. But it is still a little bit strange for me why didn't SAP foresee such a request to the database...

i dont think that there is a statement like that.

You can use a SELECT SINGLE or SELECT * UP TO 1 ROWS statement

Hi Pavel,

Declare the table in the report using TABLES.

example.

TABLES: MARA.

SELECT MATNR FROM MARA WHERE MATNR IN S_MATNR.

for this you do not require any into clause......

You can use the table itself

REPORT YCHATEST1.

TABLES: MARA.
 
SELECT MATNR FROM MARA into mara-matnr WHERE MATNR IN S_MATNR.
