Using Logical Databases and the Tables or Nodes Statement

[Former Member]

I want to start using Logical Databases whenever possible, but it seems that I need to use the Tables or Nodes statement for the Get statement to work. Is there anyway to avoid Tables/Nodes statement since they are obsolete (and still use LDBs)?

Hi Jason,

1) table statement is obligatory:

-> look at abap-docu to GET:

...

node is a node in the logical database that is assigned to the report (type 1 program) in the program attributes. <b>You must declare the node in the report using the NODES statement (or the TABLES statement, if the node is of the type "table").</b>

...

2) some ldb-selections from the selection screen

depends on the table-statement too, i remember...

Thanks for the reply. I now realize that using Select is faster and more efficient. Before, I thought the opposite. Do you agree with this statement(that Selects are better)?

Hello Jason,

In my experience, I have never used a logical database in any of my programs. I have just learnt the basics of it a couple of years back and that was that. I have always found the SELECTs to be more efficient, simple and straightforward.
