select

[Former Member]

hi,

may i know if i just want to check if the entry is exist (not to get the data from database table), say ekko,

can i write as below? i must use select? i must have if statement to check sy-subrc?

select single * where ebeln = wa_pono and

ebelp = wa_poitem.

if sy-subrc = 0

perform found.

else.

perform not found.

endif.

Yes, you must use select. But you can also minmize the data retreival by specifying a field.

data: wa_ebeln type ekko-ebeln.

clear wa_ebeln.
select single ebeln into wa_ebeln
         where ebeln = wa_pono and 
                   ebelp = wa_poitem.
if sy-subrc = 0
perform found.
else.
perform not found.
endif.

Hi Eliana,

You can also use the 'Select count(*)' variant which does not need you to retrieve any field.

Hi,

you can use the select *

select single

for ex:

TABLES SPFLI.

SELECT * FROM SPFLI

WHERE

CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT' AND

CITYTO = 'NEW YORK'.

WRITE: / SPFLI-CARRID, SPFLI-CONNID.

ENDSELECT.

for ex:

TABLES SFLIGHT.

DATA SEATSFREE TYPE I.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM SFLIGHT

WHERE

CARRID = 'LH ' AND

CONNID = '0400' AND

FLDATE = '19950228'.

SEATSFREE = SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX - SFLIGHT-SEATSOCC.

WRITE: / SFLIGHT-CARRID, SFLIGHT-CONNID,

SFLIGHT-FLDATE, SEATSFREE.

you can use following return code in your program

SY-SUBRC = 0 At least one line was read.

SY_SUBRC = 4 No lines were read.

SY-SUBRC = 8 The search key was not fully qualified.

Hi,

In select statement, you need to specify the database table name.

data v_ebeln type ebeln.

select single ebeln into v_ebeln from <b>EKBE</b> where ebeln = wa_pono and

ebelp = wa_poitem.

if sy-subrc = 0

perform found.

else.

perform not found.

endif.

hi

your query should have DB table name.

select single * from ekpo where ebeln = wa_pono and

ebelp = wa_poitem.

if sy-subrc = 0

perform found.

else.

perform not found.

endif.

reward if useful.

Hi Elina,

Your view is correct but you should modify your coding.

select single * where ebeln = wa_pono and ebelp = wa_poitem.

if sy-subrc = 0

perform found.

else.

perform notfound.

endif.

form found.

Write: 'The record is found'.

endform.

form notfound.

Write: 'The record is not found'.

endform.
