Indices and F4_GET_RESULT

Hello,

Introduction:

There is a performance problem with VF03. When You provide only BUKRS(company code) and XBLNR (reference)on the selection screen and press Search, then You must wait several minutes before a screen with 1 selected entry pops up. Data are read from table BKPF.

I have implemented the OSS notes 789098 and 964587 so that the database index BKPF_1 is used, but it obviously isn't. I checked it in the SQL Trace.

Index BKPF_1 comprises fields: MANDT, BUKRS, BSTAT, XBLNR.

After having debugged the VF03 I discovered that the data is retrieved in the funcion module F4_GET_RESULT.

I wrote a small program which retrieves data in the same way as the function module and my program uses index and returns data in a flash.

I don't understand why F4_GET_RESULT does not use the index.

<b>How can one make F4_GET_RESULT use it ?</b>

Here's the program:

-

REPORT ZTEST_CURSOR.

DATA: WA_BKPF TYPE BKPF,

IT_BKPF LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF WA_BKPF,

SELTAB(20),

C1 TYPE CURSOR,

CONDITION TYPE STRING.

START-OF-SELECTION.

SELTAB = 'BKPF'.

CONDITION = 'BSTAT = '' '' AND BUKRS = 4005 AND XBLNR LIKE ''0096183992'''.

OPEN CURSOR C1 FOR

SELECT * FROM (SELTAB)

WHERE (CONDITION)

%_HINTS ORACLE 'first_rows' DB6 'OPT_FOR_ROWS 1'.

END-OF-SELECTION.

FETCH NEXT CURSOR C1 INTO table it_BKPF.

loop at it_bkpf into wa_bkpf.

write:/ wa_bkpf-xblnr, wa_bkpf-bukrs.

endloop.
