Hi Abinash,

Instead of name1 LIKE s_name1 use name1 IN s_name1

Please reward if useful

Thanks Arjun

HI,

For Ex,

SELECT-OPTIONS:P_VBELN FOR VBRK-VBELN NO INTERVALS.

The text will be,

%_P_VBELN_%_APP_%-TEXT

NOT

%_P_VBELN-LOW_%_APP_%-TEXT

Reward if helpful.

Hi,

Try replacing '%' by '*'......

SAP Docu for LIKE

Notes

The use of the wildcard characters "_" and "%" corresponds to the standard of SQL. In the rest of ABAP, the wildcard characters "+" and " * " are used in similar logical expressions, in particular when selection tables are used.

Hi,

Have you checked whether you have given proper events.

Check this code below.

Hi,

Did you get any error in your program?

IF NOT s_name1-low IS INITIAL.

LOOP AT S_NAME1.

CONCATENATE s_name1-low '%' INTO s_name1-low.

TRANSLATE s_name1-low TO UPPER CASE.

s_name1-option = 'CP'.

s_name1-sign = 'I'.

MODIFY s_name1.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

First Change your code like below which increase the performance.

SELECT lifnr land1 name1 ort01 ort02 pfach pstl2 pstlz regio stras

erdat ernam ktokk loevm sperr sperm sperz nodel

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gs_vendor

FROM lfa1

WHERE lifnr IN s_lifnr

AND name1 LIKE s_name1

AND ort01 IN s_ort01

AND regio IN s_regio

AND ktokk IN s_ktokk

AND ( ktokk NE 'ZHMT' AND ktokk NE 'ZTER' ).

Now try

Hi,

your statement :

CONCATENATE s_name1-low '%' INTO s_name1-low.

makes a string "s_name1-low" with value as "verma" into

verma% but not 'verma%'.

the string should be with in single quotes not as verma% but instead in the form 'verma%'.

please make changes accordingly and see how it worked or still you are facing issues on this..

Thanks,

Vishnu.
