Problem in Dynamic where clause

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having an issue with using dynamic where clause in a select statement.

The query that i want to emulate is:

SELECT * FROM (p_table)

INTO TABLE <dyn_table>

WHERE spras IN s_field1.

(s_field1 is a select-option)

I am trying to write a query like

SELECT * FROM (p_table)

INTO TABLE <dyn_table>

WHERE (ITAB).

ITAB is an internal table with the text 'spras IN s_field1' already present.

when i run the report, the query with the dynamic where clause gives a dump.

However, if i modify the contents of ITAB to have the text 'spras = 'EN'', the query executes successfully.

Can anyone please let me know how to write a dynamic where clause for select-options???

Cheers,

Raghav.

Hi,

To specify a condition dynamically, use:

SELECT ... WHERE (<itab>) ...

where <itab> is an internal table with line type C and maximum length 72 characters. All of the conditions listed above except for selection tables, can be written into the lines of <itab>. However, you may only use literals, and not the names of data objects. The internal table can also be left empty.

If you only want to specify a part of the condition dynamically, use:

SELECT ... WHERE <cond> AND (<itab>) ...

You cannot link a static and a dynamic condition using OR.

You may only use dynamic conditions in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement.

Hi,

Check the following example:

DATA: COND(72) TYPE C,

ITAB LIKE TABLE OF COND.

PARAMETERS: CITY1(10) TYPE C, CITY2(10) TYPE C.

DATA WA TYPE SPFLI-CITYFROM.

CONCATENATE 'CITYFROM = ''' CITY1 '''' INTO COND.

APPEND COND TO ITAB.

CONCATENATE 'OR CITYFROM = ''' CITY2 '''' INTO COND.

APPEND COND TO ITAB.

CONCATENATE 'OR CITYFROM = ''' 'BERLIN' '''' INTO COND.

APPEND COND TO ITAB.

LOOP AT ITAB INTO COND.

WRITE COND.

ENDLOOP.

SKIP.

SELECT CITYFROM

INTO WA

FROM SPFLI

WHERE (ITAB).

WRITE / WA.

ENDSELECT.

The syntax of the select statement is false.

if u already have spras in Itab then you need to write inside the loop .

loop at itab into wa_itab.

SELECT *

FROM mara

INTO ktab

WHERE matnr = wa_itab -matnr.

endloop.
