SQL select

[saurabh_chaturvedi]

Hello Experts,

I have table where one of the columns is called COL1.

Suppose this table has just one record where the column COL1 has the value 56006*.

I want to select the above record even when I look up this table for records with COL1 value = 560068.

How can I write such a query?

Thanks & Regards,

Saurabh

In select you can use the like operator  and the % symbol.

select

col1 from itab1 where col1 like '56006%'.

Alas OPEN-SQL don't allow a syntax like "dobj LIKE field+%", so you should programmatically convert your single value in a list of values, a range like

I EQ 560068
I EQ 56006
I EQ 5600
I EQ 560
I EQ 56
I EQ 5

Raymond

It seems you're the only who spotted that the wildcard is a value the table!

[raymond_giuseppi]

Yes, alas , as most people see what they expect to see, not what is written. Moreover, in this case the question would have been too basic and would have justified a "Report abuse" .

It looks like a Customizing table with wildcard and the program look for items that can be applied to a value.

Hi,

I think that this example is useful for you

   REPORT  z_example_abap.

TABLES vbak.

DATA: BEGIN OF tb_vbak OCCURS 0,
        vbeln LIKE vbak-vbeln,
        netwr LIKE vbak-netwr,
       END OF tb_vbak.


START-OF-SELECTION.
  REFRESH tb_vbak.
  CLEAR tb_vbak.
  SELECT vbeln netwr  FROM  vbak
    INTO TABLE tb_vbak
         WHERE  vbeln  LIKE '%178%'.

  DESCRIBE TABLE tb_vbak LINES sy-tfill.

END-OF-SELECTION.

Regards

Ivan
