I'm planning to read data from Pcl4 from cluster LA .using the macro RP_IMP_C4_LA. i dont know how to pass the key or where to use the key to read data .

Please please let me know the standard procedure to read data from cluster tables.(i know PCL2).'

Hello,

You dont need to write any special statements to read data from cluster tables.

Anyways PCL* tables are all transperant tables & not cluster. (Please note i am in ECC5.0 if that matters to you in anyway)

Yes, they're transparent tables containing raw/compressed data.

If you can read PCL2, what is the problem with say PCL3?

Hi Thomas,

Just out of curiosity. In our system we have a custom table built which stores data in LRAW format.

The table is updated using IMPORT/EXPORT FROM/TO DATABASE statements (similar to INDX).

Can we read the PCL* tables in the same way as INDX ?

I assume so, but I don't have the time to try myself and also no data inside these tables

I'm still puzzled why OP knows how to read PCL2 but has a problem with the other tables of identical structure.

Same here. No data in the tables, so lets park this discussion
