HR-ABAP Programming

Hi All,

How far are LDB's relevant to HR-ABAP Programming, are <u><i><b>select</b></i></u> statements absoultely obselete in HR-ABAP Programming. Here in our project we are only using select statements to retrieve date from infotypes. Is it a wrong programming practice? Is it absoultely necessay that we should only use LDB'S in HR-ABAP programming.

Basically got this doubt because whatever the SAP Documentation related to HR-ABAP Programming i found uses only LDB'S to retrive data. Please clarify my doubt.
