Hi,

Go to SE11->click on contents button-> double click on NUMBER OF ENTRIES push button. You can get total no of records in that table.

Hi,

Please refer to the code and document below :

... COUNT( * ).

Effect

Returns the number of lines selected. If the SELECT command contains a GROUP-BY clause, the system returns the number of lines for each group. You can use COUNT( * ) instead of COUNT(*).

Example

Displays a list of all the customers on all the Lufthansa 0400 flights in the year 2001, with the number of bookings for each flight, ordered by customer name:

DATA: name TYPE scustom-name,

postcode TYPE scustom-postcode,

city TYPE scustom-city,

count TYPE I.

SELECT scustom_{name scustom}postcode scustom~city COUNT( * )

INTO (name, postcode, city, count)

FROM scustom INNER JOIN sbook

ON scustom_{id = sbook}customid

WHERE sbook~fldate BETWEEN '20010101' AND '20011231' AND

sbook~carrid = 'LH ' AND

sbook~connid = '0400'

GROUP BY scustom_{name scustom}postcode scustom~city

ORDER BY scustom~name.

WRITE: / name, postcode, city, count.

ENDSELECT.
