Hi

This is similar to SELECT..ENDSELECT statements to fetch the data from the INFOTYPES.

since they are infotypes we use PROVIDE...ENDPROVIDE.

see the HR doc

HR:

HR deals with the INFOTYPES which are similar to Tables in General ABAP.

There are different ways of fetching data from these infotypes.

There are different areas in HR LIKE Personal Admn, Orgn Management, Benefits, Time amangement, Event Management, Payroll etc

Infotypes for these areas are different from one another area.

storing of records data in each type of area is different

LDBS like PNP are used in HR programing.

Instead of Select.. we use some ROUTINES and PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE.. etc

and in the case of Pay roll we use Clusters and we Import and Export them for data fetching.

On the whole Normal ABAP is different from HR abap.

For Personal Admn the Infotypes start with PA0000 to PA1999

Time Related Infotypes start with PA2000 to PA2999.

Orgn related Infotypes start with HRP1000 to HRP1999.

All custom developed infotypes stsrat with PA9000 onwards.

In payroll processing we use Clusters like PCL1,2,3 and 4.

Instead of Select query we use PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE..

You have to assign a Logical Database in the attributes PNP.

Go through the SAp doc for HR programming and start doing.

with the help of PROVIDE... ENDPROVIDE. statement you can make joins between internal tables... this statement is used mainly for HR infotypes.

while making joins among itabs you should have data fields in internal tables.

hi

while we are programming in ABAP-Hr we usually use the

statement provide and endprovide.

<b>difference</b>

1. SELECT..ENDSELECT is on a database table whereas PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE is on an Internal table.

2.SELECT..ENDSELECT can be used ina report without tying it to an LDB whereas to use PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE, the report has to be tied to an LDB.
