Problem in select query

[Former Member]

Hi experts.

I have a following query:

IF customer_name IS NOT INITIAL.

SELECT kunnr FROM kna1 INTO lv_kunnr

FOR ALL ENTRIES IN customer_name

WHERE

name1 = customer_name-NAME1.

endselect.

ENDIF.

Now when I just give 1 customer_name say Ajay, I should ideally get just 1 KUNNR based on that (based on the data in my system).

But I am getting multiple entries. Where is the mistake?

Thanks,

Ajay.

Because you are checking the internal table header line, not the actual table.

place [] for internal table check

IF customer_name[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT kunnr FROM kna1 INTO lv_kunnr
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN customer_name
WHERE
name1 = customer_name-NAME1.
endselect.
ENDIF.

or

better use thsi way..

declare an internal table

 

types :
  begin of ty_kna1,
     kunnr type kunnr,
end of ty_kna1.

data : 
   it_kna1 type standard table of ty_kna1.

IF customer_name[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT kunnr FROM kna1 INTO table it_kna1
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN customer_name
WHERE
name1 = customer_name-NAME1

let me know if any problem further...

Hi,

if you have multiple entries in the internal table, your statement (for all entries) will process a select for every entry in internal table customer_name.

If you only want to select one record from the database table, you have to omit the "for all entries" clause.

select single kunnr

into lv_kunnr

from kna1

where name = customer_name-name1.
