Pattern in select statement.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have to use pattern in select..where statment.

Required value(for select) I am passing from Parameter.

parameter: p_groupid like apqi-groupid.

Here in the selection screen, I can give any pattern like

GPC* or GPC or GPC* etc.....

Thease values should pass to the select.. where.

please let me know how can I do.

Thanks and Regards

You should use a SELECT-OPTION instead and make it look like a parameter.

Select-options: s_group for apqi-groupid <b>no intervals no-extension</b>.


*
*
select .....

           where groupid in s_group.

Now you can enter such patterns in your selection screen and the select-option will handle all patterns.

You can use pattern in the where clause as follows..

select fld1 fld2 from <dbtab>
                 into table itab
                 where ( groupid like 'GPC%' or
                         groupid like '%GPC%' or
                         groupid like '%G*PC%' or
                         groupid like '%G%P%C%' ).

Hi ,

You can use LIKE addition in the select statement.

In your case you can write in the where clause as

where p_groupid like %GPC% .

Use the LIKE syntax in where:

DATA SCUSTOM_WA TYPE SCUSTOM.

SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM_WA

WHERE NAME LIKE 'M%'.

WRITE: / SCUSTOM_WA-ID, SCUSTOM_WA-NAME.

ENDSELECT.

Example to select all customers whose name contains 'huber':

DATA SCUSTOM_WA TYPE SCUSTOM.

SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM_WA

WHERE NAME LIKE '%huber%'.

WRITE: / SCUSTOM_WA-ID, SCUSTOM_WA-NAME.

ENDSELECT.

Example to select all customers whose name does not contain 'n' as the second character:

DATA SCUSTOM_WA TYPE SCUSTOM.

SELECT ID NAME FROM SCUSTOM

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF SCUSTOM_WA

WHERE NAME NOT LIKE '_n%'.

WRITE: / SCUSTOM_WA-ID, SCUSTOM_WA-NAME.

ENDSELECT.

Hi,

you need to use like option in where clause. and where ever you have * replace it with %

some thing like this..

GPC* you can use like 'GPC%'

or like '%GPC%'...etc.

in your where clause.
