Using dynamic where clause with dynamic table...

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement. I am working in a user exit in which there is a table parameter C_T_DATA whose structure is defined at runtime only based on some conditions. Lets say, if cond1 is true, structure will be ABC; else it will be XYZ.

Now, in my code, i need to use SELECT query based on the value populated in internal table. So i wrote the code like below :

DATA : v_where TYPE string.

If cond1 is true.

     v_where = 'GUID = C_T_DATA-GUID'.

     SELECT partner_guid

          from BUT000

          into table it_partner

          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN c_t_data

          WHERE (v_where).

elseif cond2 is true.

     v_where = 'VBELN = C_T_DATA-VBELN'.

*----Corresponding Code    

endif.

Now, when I am executing the code, I am getting a short dump saying only literals are allowed in dynamic where and not values. So anyone could please help me out to solve this. I found some posts for this but in all those the structure of table was known while in my case it is known at run time only.

Kindly help.

Hi Guddan,

please check this alternative:

DATA:
  lt_guid    TYPE SORTED TABLE OF  OF but00-guid
    WITH UNIQUE KEY table_line,
  lt_vbeln   TYPE SORTED TABLE OF  OF vbak-vbeln
    WITH UNIQUE KEY table_line.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:  
  <any>      TYPE any,
  <data>     TYPE any.
LOOP AT c_t_data ASSIGNING <data>.
  IF cond1 is true.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'GUID' OF STRUCTURE <data> to <any>.
    INSERT <any> INTO TABLE lt_guid.
  ELSE.  
    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'VBELN' OF STRUCTURE <data> to <any>.
    INSERT <any> INTO TABLE lt_vbeln.
  ENDIF.  
ENDLOOP.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0. "avoid select .. for all entries with empty table
IF cond1 is true.
  SELECT partner_guid
    INTO table it_partner
    FROM but000
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_guid
    WHERE guid = lt_guid-table_line.
ELSE.  
*----Corresponding Code      
ENDIF.  

DATA:

  lt_guid    TYPE SORTED TABLE OF  OF but00-guid

    WITH UNIQUE KEY table_line,

  lt_vbeln   TYPE SORTED TABLE OF  OF vbak-vbeln

    WITH UNIQUE KEY table_line.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: 

  <any>      TYPE any,

  <data>     TYPE any.

LOOP AT c_t_data ASSIGNING <data>.

  IF cond1 is true.

    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'GUID' OF STRUCTURE <data> to <any>.

    INSERT <any> INTO TABLE lt_guid.

  ELSE. 

    ASSIGN COMPONENT 'VBELN' OF STRUCTURE <data> to <any>.

    INSERT <any> INTO TABLE lt_vbeln.

  ENDIF. 

ENDLOOP.

CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0. "avoid select .. for all entries with empty table

IF cond1 is true.

  SELECT partner_guid

    INTO table it_partner

    FROM but000

    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_guid

    WHERE guid = lt_guid-table_line.

ELSE. 

*----Corresponding Code     

ENDIF. 

Please experts have mercy and enable fixed space font and ABAP syntax highlighting for posting code here. Thank you.

Hi Guddan,

if you look at the ABAP documentation (7.0), it says that the dynamic Where clause is allowed for FOR ALL ENTRIES since 6.10. Please, could you tell us how you defined C_T_DATA?

For information, this code works well, test it on your system:

DATA lt_sflight TYPE TABLE OF sflight.
DATA lt_carrid TYPE TABLE OF s_carr_id.
DATA l_dynamic_where type STRING.
APPEND 'LH' TO lt_carrid.
l_dynamic_where = 'CARRID = LT_CARRID-TABLE_LINE'.
SELECT * FROM sflight
  INTO TABLE lt_sflight
  FOR ALL ENTRIES IN lt_carrid
  WHERE (l_dynamic_where).

Hi Sandra,

Table C_T_DATA is defined as a TABLE parameter of a user exit without using any type. That means its structure will be defined at run time only.

Hope it clears the requirement.

Hi Archna,

your problem is rather that there is no valid field in your where clause:

v_where = 'GUID = C_T_DATA-GUID'.

BUT000 has no component GUID, it is PARTNER_GUID.

  DATA:
   lv_where TYPE string,
   lt_partner TYPE TABLE OF but000-partner.
  lv_where = 'PARTNER_GUID = C_T_DATA-PARTNER_GUID'.
  SELECT partner
  INTO TABLE lt_partner
  FROM but000
  FOR ALL ENTRIES IN c_t_data
  WHERE (lv_where).

works perfect in SAP ECC 6.0 SAP_ABA    701    0007
