Vertical Entries in Database

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a strange Requirement.

i am doing a module pool program in which i have 5 input feilds in which user will make entries and saves to database.

So i have a created a z table and put those 5 feilds on screen in a vertical order.

Now when the user clicks on save button the entries are added to the database in a horizontal manner.

The user wants in a vertica manner as it normally shows in ALV.

IF i am not clear please let me know.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit,

The user wants in a vertical manner as it normally shows in ALV.

Please elaborate.

I think you need ALV report in which all 5 field are aligned vertically instead of horizontally

am i correct?

you may need to transpose internal table.

Hi Saurabh,

No I dont need a ALV.

i have created ztable with 13 feilds. out of which i have kept 5 feilds on screen for making entry.

now when the user presses save the feilds are getting saved in horizontal manner in database table.

i want those 5 feilds in vertica manner.

Looks like you want to add each field in new row (vertical manner).

i.e. insert only 1 field in 1 row (other 12 fields blank !?)

     and insert 5 rows like this.

1. create work area like table
2. move value from screen field to work area
3. append work area directly to database.

do steps 2 & 3 for five times.

hope this solves your issue.

Hi Saurabh,

I want to add entries in database table like below :

Invoice Type      Document No.                Bill Doc                  Echnage Rate

SEA                        1234                          9000001                10

                                                                9000002                10

                                                                9000003                10

                                                                9000004                10

                                                                9000004                10

so i have done the cding for first 2 feilds like this :

WA_INVTYPE-INVOICE_TYPE = ZTYPE_INVOICES-INVOICE_TYPE.

WA_INVTYPE-BELNR  = ZTYPE_INVOICES-BELNR.

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE

MODIFY ZTYPE_INVOICES FROM TABLE IT_INVTYPE

and for remaining  feilds as per ur instruction :

        WA_INVTYPE1-CUSTOMINVOICE = ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE.

      APPEND WA_INVTYPE1 TO IT_INVTYPE1.

      CLEAR WA_INVTYPE1.

      WA_INVTYPE1-CUSTOMINVOICE1 = ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE1.

      APPEND WA_INVTYPE1 TO IT_INVTYPE1.

      CLEAR WA_INVTYPE1.

      WA_INVTYPE1-CUSTOMINVOICE2 = ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE2.

      APPEND WA_INVTYPE1 TO IT_INVTYPE1.

      CLEAR WA_INVTYPE1.

      WA_INVTYPE1-CUSTOMINVOICE3 = ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE3.

      APPEND WA_INVTYPE1 TO IT_INVTYPE1.

      CLEAR WA_INVTYPE1.

      WA_INVTYPE1-CUSTOMINVOICE4 = ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE4.

      APPEND WA_INVTYPE1 TO IT_INVTYPE1.

      CLEAR WA_INVTYPE1.

MODIFY ZTYPE_INVOICES FROM TABLE IT_INVTYPE1.

but disried output is not coming.

i have attached the screenshot for you.

Thanks,

Amit

Dear amit,

Are you sure that you want invoice type field i.e. SEA only once for 5 rows added?

Invoice no	Doc no	Bill Doc	Exchange Rate
SEA	1234	9000001	10
		9000002
		9000003
		9000004
		9000005

so you are appending data from screen to WA_INVTYPE for 1st row

and appending data for other 4 rows in  WA_INVTYPE1.

if you are able to use debugger please apply breakpoint to

MODIFY ZTYPE_INVOICES FROM TABLE IT_INVTYPE1.

and send your screenshot.

Hi Saurabh,

Yes i want invoice type and Doc no. only once as it will be same for all the 5 fields.

all the feilds are there in database but user want to only Bill  Doc no .filds in vertical manner in database.

Attached screenshot of debugger

Hi amit,

it must be like.

WA_INVTYPE-INVOICE_TYPE = ZTYPE_INVOICES-INVOICE_TYPE.  (sea)

WA_INVTYPE-BELNR  = ZTYPE_INVOICES-BELNR.                              (1234)

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE = screen field 1.                                  (90001)

WA_INVTYPE-exchange_rate = ZTYPE_INVOICES-exchange_rate           (10)

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE = screen field 2.

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE.

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE = screen field 3.

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE.

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE = screen field 4.

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE.

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE = screen field 5.

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE.

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

MODIFY ZTYPE_INVOICES FROMTABLE IT_INVTYPE.

summery:

append 1 full filled row ti itab

clear work area.

move only screen field 2 to work area.

append

move only screen field 3 to work area.

append

move only screen field 4 to work area.

append

move only screen field 5 to work area.

append

modify ztab from itab.

Hi Saurabh,

I have got the output like attached in database table.

should i delete reaming 4 feilds from DB and capture all the 5 values in single feilds as it is showing now.

Thanks,

should i delete reaming 4 feilds from DB and capture all the 5 values in single feilds as it is showing now.

I cant understand that fully.

are you referring that you want to merge all the bill docs in single row allong with first 3 fields??

[Former Member]

Hi Saurabh,

I want my output as below :

Invoice no	Doc no	Bill Doc	Exchange Rate
SEA	1234	9000001	10
		9000002
		9000003
		9000004
		9000005

as per ur solution, i have attached the output. all the bill docs are cominng in vertical order under same field i.e. ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE. but remaining 4 feilds are empty in database

  ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE1.

ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE2.

ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE3.

ZTYPE_INVOICES-CUSTOMINVOICE4.

[saurabh_chikate]

hi amit,

Can you please draw your Ideal table output in paint with minimum 2 entries

looks like bit of miscommunication is here.

Hi Saurabh,

Invoice Type	Freight INv No	Customs Inv No	Custom Exch Rate
Sea	1234	43534534	10
		34343545	11
		43534534	12
		43534534	14
		54345345	12
Sea	2345	67878878	10
		78765464	11
		44566537	12
		54567648	14
		45367577	12

Only point to note is i have 5 different fields for custom invoice in DB like below

custom invoice1

custom invoice2

custom invoice3

custom invoice4

custom invoice5

This is desired output of database table.

Thanks,

Amit Dwivedi

Hi,

what you need is all 5 inputs inserted in same column.

it is impossible that all entries in table will look in vertical fashion, if thats what you want then i am sorry.

you can concatenate all 5 fields into 1 and then append it.

concatenate scr_fld1 ' ' scr_fld2 ' ' scr_fld3 ' ' scr_fld4 ' ' scr_fld5  INTO screen_input.

and then

WA_INVTYPE-INVOICE_TYPE = ZTYPE_INVOICES-INVOICE_TYPE.  (sea)

WA_INVTYPE-BELNR  = ZTYPE_INVOICES-BELNR.                              (1234)

WA_INVTYPE-CUSTOMINVOICE =  screen_input                                 (90001)

WA_INVTYPE-exchange_rate = ZTYPE_INVOICES-exchange_rate           (10)

APPEND WA_INVTYPE TO IT_INVTYPE

CLEAR WA_INVTYPE.

MODIFY ZTYPE_INVOICES FROMTABLE IT_INVTYPE.

Amit,

User will never have access to database tables in Production.Why not develop a LIST report and get the data displayed in whatever the way the User wants.

Either yours or the User's understanding is wrong.

Hi Kiran,

yes, i know we have ALV report in which we can have desired output.

But, internally i want like to have output in table above.

just wanted to check whether it is possible or not.

Thanks,

Amit

[kiran_k8]

Amit,

To me it doesn't make any sense and also it is not the way the data gets stored in the database table.

Programatically you can update the table in whatever the way you want but fetching the data back from the table or interpreting it will also remain a challenge.
