Hi,

I need to selct particular fiels from a database table into an internal table where key_field = abc*.

How do I do it?

Eg.

consider i have a DB table 'XYZ' with the fields -

name date class

the entries are say:

name date class

welcome_a 12.12.1980 10

welcome_b 01.11.1980 10

welcome_c 23.03.1980 10

select date class from XYZ into itab where name = welcome*.

This didn't work.

Plese help.

Hi,

u can select data by:-

select * from dbtable into table itab where name LIKE 'WELCOME*'.

i think it will work.

Hi Joy,

You need to use it this way to get the data.

DATA: srch_str TYPE string.

CONCATENATE '%' 'welcome' '%' INTO srch_str.

select date class

from XYZ

into itab

where name LIKe srch_str.

Now you will get it.

Please award points if useful.

Thanks,

Hi Joy,

One more correction.

DATA:

BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,

date LIKE xyz-date,

class LIKE xyz-class,

END OF itab.

DATA: srch_str TYPE string.

CONCATENATE ' 'welcome' '%' INTO srch_str.

select date class

from XYZ

into table itab

where name LIKE srch_str.

Now you will get it.

Please award points if useful.

Hi,

we cant put * in where condition of select statement.we have to give the correct values in where conditions.

try this,

select date class

from XYZ

into table itab

where name EQ 'WELCOME_A'

or name EQ 'WELCOME_B'.

reward point if it s useful
