Table Select

[Former Member]

How Do Everyone.

I have declared a Field symbol <compare_field> type c.

I have then assigned a char(10) input field to this

field symbol.

The problem I am now facing is I am trying to select

from the table KNA1 for the matching customer no.

i.e.

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM

kna1

WHERE

kunnr = <compare_field>.

e.g. Customer No held on KNA1 Table is '0002000001'

My <compare_field> doesn't contain leading zeroes, it

has '2000001' stored in it. As a consequence it is saying

that the customer does not exists in the above statement,

when it clearly does. But if through SE11 I enter 2000001

the customer appears.

Can anyone explain this to me.

Cheers

Andy

Hi,

KUNNR is a CHAR length 10.

and ' 2000001' is different from '0002000001'.

so declare your field-symbols as type CHAR.

HI Andy,

Use the fm CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT before you use that var in the select.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting input = <compare_field>

importing output = <compare_field>.

SELECT SINGLE *

FROM

kna1

WHERE

kunnr = <compare_field>.

Hi andy,

1. Automatic conversion

2. The reason is the field which is ASSIGNED to field symbol

<b>is declared as type c,</b>

hence, automatic conversion

(ie. adding zeroes to the left when fetching from sql)

does not happen AUTOMATICALLY,

3. so that EXACT MATCH is not found.

4.<b> If the original field is declared

like KNA1-KUNNR,

THEN IT WILL WORK FANTASTIC.

</b>

*------- SEE THIS CODE - JUST COPY PASTE AND TRY

REPORT abc.

PARAMETERS : a LIKE kna1-kunnr.

*PARAMETERS : a(10) TYPE C. "<---- WON'T WORK

DATA : kna1 LIKE TABLE OF kna1 WITH HEADER LINE.

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <abc> LIKE kna1-kunnr.

ASSIGN a TO <abc>.

SELECT * FROM kna1

INTO TABLE

kna1 WHERE kunnr = <abc>.

BREAK-POINT.

amit m.

Assign char to <compare_field> casting .

Hi Andy,

Before going to select,pass the feld symbol value to the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT,which will add the leading zeros to the field value.

The reason why the table selects the values in SE11 if you enter without zeros is it has the conversion inbuilt.You can see that if you go to the DOMAIN of the KUNNR.If you see the definition of the domain,there exists a Conversion routine field which has value as ALPHA.If you double click you will know the FM used in the background when you check for the values in SE11.

Hello,

you could use the function module 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'. Should solve your problem.

Thanks guys for you help, much appreciated.

I used the FM 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

as suggested.
