where condition with different type

[Former Member]

Hi friends

I want to fetch data from a Z table based on another table using field vbeln. The corresponding field in Z table is having a different character length. how can i do it.

SELECT docno vendrinv cpudt FROM zmdh INTO TABLE gt_zmdh

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_vbrk WHERE vendrinv EQ gt_vbrk-vbeln AND dele_indi NE 'X'.

here vendrinv is having a type C & length 15 where as vbeln has type C and length 10.

I dont want to use loop for doing it.

It works very well. check this.

data: begin of it_data occurs 0,
       vbeln(20),
       matnr type matnr,
      end of it_data.

select vbeln
       matnr
  from vbap
  into table it_data
  up to 3 rows.

  break-point.

you could add a field help_vendrinv to gt_vbrk in length 15 and move the contents of vbeln into that field before you do the "for all entries".

You might even be able to declare gt_vbrk-vbeln in length 15 to start with, no need for a help field then.

I have tried moving all contents of gt_vbrk into a new table with similiar fields but changed the type of vbeln to vendrinv. But the problem here is it added 5 zeroes to vbeln in the new table and the where condition will always go false.

both fields are type C as you say, so there should not be an issue with leading zeroes unless you add them yourself somehow. Or is vendrinv actually of type N?

Anyway, if you declare GT_VBRK-VBELN same as ZMDH-VENDRINV, you can still select the values from VBRK into it and then use the field to select ZMDH using "for all entries".

Otherwise I have no further idea.

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your reply. I find that when I copy the contents of gt_vbrk to the temporary internal table which has the field vbeln with type same as vendrinv, five characters from next field is getting added to this. ie there is a shift of 5 characters to the left side for all fields after vbeln.

Now I have solved the problem in this way. I dont know whether this is the best method. Anyway it solved my prob for time being.

I have declared a temp int table with single field vbeln having data type & length same as vbeln. Now copied vbeln from gt_vbrk to this table. Again declared another int table with single field vbeln having data type & length same as vendrinv and moved the contents from prev temp table to this table.

Once again thanks to all for spending your precious time in this.
