Select Into Corresponding Fields - Select Statements Types - Sapnuts

This document discusses the SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement in ABAP for reading data from multiple database tables. It allows selecting data from a second table for all entries in a first table, reducing database load compared to a JOIN. The parent internal table must not be empty and should have duplicate entries removed. An example demonstrates using SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES to get material descriptions from the MAKT table for all materials in a filtered MARA table.

SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is the best alternative for SELECT


WITH JOINS, this statement is very helpful for reading data from
more than 2 tables.The load on database will be very less.
Syntax :

SELECT <FIELDS> FROM <DBTABLE1> INTO TABLE <ITAB1>


WHERE <CONDITION>.
SELECT <FIELDS> FROM <DBTABLE2> INTO <ITAB2> FOR
ALL ENTRIES IN <ITAB1>
WHERE <FIELD1> = <ITAB1>-FIELD1.
**HERE WE ARE READING DATA 2 DATABASE TABLES, SEE
WHERE CONDITIONS OF SECOND SELECT STATEMENT

Ensure before using SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES

Parent internal table must not be empty ( If it is empty, where


condition fails and it will get all records from database).

Remove all duplicate entries in parent internal table.

Here is the example of using SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES in


real-time applications

**DATA DECLERATIONS

DATA : IT_MARA TYPE TABLE OF MARA.

DATA : IT_MAKT TYPE TABLE OF MAKT .

**GET DATA FROM MARA TABLE

SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE IT_MARA

WHERE MATNR = '0001'.

**SORT MARA TABLE, TO DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES THE TABLE MUST BE SORTED IN ASCENDI

SORT IT_MARA ASCENDING .

**DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MARA COMPARING ALL FIELDS

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MARA COMPARING ALL FIELDS.
