Using select with uppercase.

[Former Member]

Hi friends ,

I have been asked to retrieve vendor list just by entering

short word.

I worked and developed this report but i want to improve it on processing speed.

At present i retrieve complete list of vendors in an internal table and the do drilling down in subsequent internal tables by

using CS <shortword>.

But i feel initially when i select complete list of vendors in internal table is making my report time consuming.

I want to use LIKE with select.

In order to overcome case-sensitvity issue i want that i should pick itself in select using LIKE irrespective of any case ?.

Is some way there ?.

I wish to convert like

select lifnr TOUPPER(name1) from lfa1.

Thereby converting shorttext to UPPER,comparison will become easy.

something like this

select lifnr into name1 from lfa1..

translate name1 to uppercase.

append name1 to ltab.

(code}

No, translate will work only after taking all content.I tried this already.
