select SUM( ) in inner join - error in code

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The following code is using ABAP OO and I get the following error

E:The addition "FOR ALL ENTRIES" excludes all aggregate functions with

the exception of "COUNT( * )", as the single element of the SELECT

clause.

Here is the Code:

select a_{/bic/ZEDM_ENTP a}material a~/bic/zedm_stid

a_{/bic/ZEDM_SDT a}/bic/ZEDM_MINH a~/bic/ZEDM_EHD

SUM( b~/bic/ZEDM_QPLN )

c~/bic/ZDEMQTY

from /bic/azdrp_1900 as a inner join /bic/azdrp_0400 as b

on

a_{/bic/ZEDM_ENTP = b}/bic/ZEDM_ENTP and

a_{material = b}material and

a_{/bic/zedm_stid = b}plant and

a_{/bic/ZEDM_SDT = b}/bic/zedm_pshp

inner join /bic/azrp_0800 as C

on

a_{material = c}material and

a_{/bic/zedm_stid = c}/bic/zedm_stid and

a_{/bic/ZEDM_SDT = c}/bic/ZEDM_ESDT

into table z_it_inv for all entries in

RESULT_PACKAGE where

a~/bic/ZEDM_ENTP = RESULT_PACKAGE-/bic/ZEDM_ENTP

and a~material = RESULT_PACKAGE-material

and a~/bic/ZEDM_SDT = RESULT_PACKAGE-/BIC/OIZEDM_EDT

and a~/bic/zedm_stid = RESULT_PACKAGE-/BIC/OIZEDM_TOST

group by b_{/bic/ZEDM_ENTP b}material b~plant

b~/bic/zedm_pshp

Can you please tell me how to correct this?

Thanks

When you are using for 'all entries' you can not use SUM because it is an aggregate function.

Krishna,

Is there a workaround for this? I need to use for all entries and want to do the summation of a particular colum.

Thanks

Aggregate functions are not very efficient. Try doing the SUM after the data is selected.

Hi,

You can get all records first and then LOOP AT Internal table and use COLLECT statement to sum up required column.

This will be a better idea than trying to use SUM in SELECT with JOINS.
