Problem with query on External Table

Posted on Jan 08, 2007 at 04:40 PM 36 Views

Hi, I' ve this type of problem:

I've an external table (not linked to Sap B1), and I must create a report joining this table to a SapB1 table (OSLP).

When I try to create the query, using query generator, I can't add the parameter to search.

So, i can do

"Select FIELD from MYTABLE",

I can do

"Select FIELD from MYTABLE where FIELD = '1'",

but i can't do

"Select FIELD from MYTABLE where FIELD = N'[%0]'".

Somebody can help me? there is a workaround for this problem?

Regards

Marco

    My guess is that B1 tries to find column descriptions in order to show it in the query parameter entry dialog. In the case of External tables there is no such information and this is why that parameter doesn't work for you.

    Maybe you could try a 'complex query'. Take one table.column that has a suitable description for your purpose. Use that column to populate a variable and finally use that variable in your WHERE clause.

    Check this:
