Issue with Query Returning Incorrect Data from MARM Table

[Sandra_Rossi]

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with a query that is supposed to retrieve data from the MARM table, specifically the UMREN field. However, the query consistently returns the value 10, which is incorrect. Below is the code I am using:

DATA: lv_umren_ea TYPE P.
CLEAR lv_umren_ea.
SELECT SINGLE MARM~UMREN
INTO lv_umren_ea
FROM MARM
JOIN MARC ON MARM~MATNR = MARC~MATNR
JOIN CAUFV ON MARC~WERKS = CAUFV~WERKS
  WHERE MARM~MEINH = 'EA'.
Z_EA = lv_umren_ea.

Could anyone help me identify what might be wrong with this code? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Your WHERE is unprecise, you are extracting millions of lines and keeping only the data of one random line...

In your latest reply, you are using SELECT SINGLE from a JOIN/WHERE clause which extracts hundreds of lines, which means that you take any RANDOM line out of these hundreds of lines.

As you may have noticed, I (still) don't have much knowledge of ABAP programming. However, I do enjoy learning more about it. I would like to try to solve this problem. How can I further resolve this? In the query I created, information is displayed about confirmations on an order (CO11N). I want to add the value "EA" to this. I hope you can help me further with this.

You are right. I have adjusted the code, but I am still not getting the desired result. The result remains the same.

DATA: lv_umren_ea TYPE P,
      lv_matnr TYPE MARM-MATNR.
CLEAR lv_umren_ea.
CLEAR lv_matnr.
SELECT SINGLE MATNR
INTO lv_matnr
FROM MARM
WHERE MARM~MEINH = 'EA'.
SELECT SINGLE MARM~UMREN
INTO lv_umren_ea
FROM MARM
JOIN MARC ON MARM~MATNR = MARC~MATNR
JOIN CAUFV ON MARC~WERKS = CAUFV~WERKS
WHERE MARM~MEINH = 'EA'
  AND MARM~MATNR = lv_matnr.
Z_EA = lv_umren_ea.
