Variable in select statement - Is it possible!

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a internal table with one column containing table names

Field

-

---

RSAABAP

RSATABLE

RSAFGA

.....

..

I need to read this internal table and write the content of each table on the screen.. like select * from...

My question here is

Is it possible for me to use a statement like

select * from tabname where this tabname is variable which could accomodate the table names like RSAABAP & so on..

Thanks in advance!

Yes it is possible:

select *

from ( v_tabname )

into table itab.

where..

Refer the following example:

<i><b>Example

Dynamic specification of the inner joins. The column specification after SELECT is also dynamic.

PARAMETERS: p_cityfr TYPE spfli-cityfrom,

p_cityto TYPE spfli-cityto.

DATA: BEGIN OF wa,

fldate TYPE sflight-fldate,

carrname TYPE scarr-carrname,

connid TYPE spfli-connid,

END OF wa.

DATA itab LIKE SORTED TABLE OF wa

WITH UNIQUE KEY fldate carrname connid.

DATA: column_syntax TYPE string,

dbtab_syntax TYPE string.

column_syntax = `c<sub>carrname p</sub>connid f~fldate`.

dbtab_syntax = `( ( scarr AS c `

& ` INNER JOIN spfli AS p ON p<sub>carrid = c</sub>carrid`

& ` AND p~cityfrom = p_cityfr`

& ` AND p~cityto = p_cityto )`

& ` INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON f<sub>carrid = p</sub>carrid `

& ` AND f<sub>connid = p</sub>connid )`.

SELECT (column_syntax)

FROM (dbtab_syntax)

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa.

WRITE: / wa-fldate, wa-carrname, wa-connid.

ENDLOOP.</b></i>

Hi karthik,

1. yes we can give the table name as variable.

2. just copy paste to get a taste of it.

3.

report abc.

*----

---

DATA : T001 LIKE TABLE OF T001 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : TABNAME(30) TYPE C.

TABNAME = 'T001'.

SELECT * FROM <b>(TABNAME)</b>

INTO TABLE T001.

BREAK-POINT.

4. The only thing is that

the INTO TABLE

should be defined accordingly.

Hai

Check the following Code

REPORT ZDYNAMIC_SELECT .

TABLES: VBAK.

DATA: CONDITION TYPE STRING.

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

VBELN LIKE VBAK-VBELN,

POSNR LIKE VBAP-POSNR,

END OF ITAB.

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_VBELN FOR VBAK-VBELN.

CONCATENATE 'VBELN' 'IN' 'S_VBELN.'

INTO CONDITION SEPARATED BY SPACE.

SELECT VBELN POSNR FROM VBAP INTO TABLE ITAB

WHERE (CONDITION).

LOOP AT ITAB.

WRITE 'hello'.

ENDLOOP.

Thanks & regards

Hi Karthik Krishna ,

suppose ur internal table 'itab 'containing table names is defined like..

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

RSAABAP like tadir-obj_name,

RSATABLE like tadir-obj_name,

RSAFGA like tadir-obj_name,

end of itab.

After populating itab,

Select * from (itab-RSAABAP) into itab1.

Thanks ,
