I want to do the following select, but it returned an error that I don't know what to do.
The elements in the "SELECT LIST" list must be separated using commas.
My version is NW 7.4. Could anyone help me ?
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_meal,
carrid TYPE smeal-carrid,
mealnumber TYPE smeal-mealnumber,
text TYPE smealt-text,
END OF ty_meal,
ty_meal_s TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_meal WITH EMPTY KEY.
DATA meals TYPE ty_meal_s.
SELECT smeal~carrid smeal~mealnumber smealt~text
INTO TABLE meals
FROM smeal
LEFT JOIN smealt
ON smealt~carrid = smeal~carrid
AND smealt~mealnumber = smeal~mealnumber
WHERE smealt~sprache EQ 'E'.
You need to separate the columns you SELECT with commas, like this
SELECT smeal~carrid, smeal~mealnumber, smealt~text
INTO TABLE #meals
FROM smeal
LEFT JOIN smealt
ON smealt~carrid = smeal~carrid
AND smealt~mealnumber = smeal~mealnumber
WHERE smealt~sprache EQ 'E'.
Before release 7.40 SP05, you cannot use the WHERE clause to filter on a column of a "right" table in a LEFT OUTER JOIN (ABAP 7.31 doc: "In outer joins, all comparisons that contain columns from the database table or view dbtab_right on the right side [...] These columns are not allowed as operands in the WHERE condition of the same SELECT statement.")
This restriction was logical because if one line is only in the left table, all the columns of the right table are considered "null", so, if there's a selection on a column of the right table, the line will not be selected (except if IS NULL is used).
The right way is to define the condition in the ON:
SELECT smeal~carrid smeal~mealnumber smealt~text
INTO TABLE meals
FROM smeal
LEFT JOIN smealt
ON smealt~carrid = smeal~carrid
AND smealt~mealnumber = smeal~mealnumber
AND smealt~sprache EQ 'E'. " <==== move it from WHERE to ON
I've solved my problem. It's the mandt, I was trying to do the select with the mandt
`ON ( aufk~mandt EQ afih~mandt AND aufk~aufnr EQ afih~aufnr )`
but itns't necessary. I've changed to
`ON (aufk~aufnr EQ afih~aufnr )`

I'm trying to select columns from two tables, Lignes and Détail Production. Détail Production links to the first one with the key NoLigne (which is the same name in both tables).
I know that I have to put [ ] or `` around the table's name, but I'm having the error No value given for one or more required parameters, which I believe means that SQL doesn't recognize the name. I tried aliasing the name of the table having a space in its name, but I have the same error. Here is my code:
SELECT
NoProduction,
Quantite,
DateMaxProd,
Lignes.Référence
FROM
[Détail Production] AS D
INNER JOIN
Lignes ON D.NoLigne = Lignes.NoLigne
WHERE
D.Soldee = 0 AND
D.EtatLigne = 0 AND
Lignes.Soldee = 0 AND
(QteRecue - Quantite - Acompter * NbHS)>0
Unfortunately, I can't get rid of the alias or the name of the table in the FROM and WHERE clause because my tables share columns with the same name. I can't rename the tables or the columns, and I'm actually using the software Windev which uses HFSQL as a dbms. I'm trying to connect to an access database with the OLEDB connector, and when I switch to HFSQL it works.
Here is a mre:
SELECT
*
FROM
[Détail Production]
INNER JOIN
Lignes ON [Détail Production].NoLigne = Lignes.NoLigne
When using HFSQL database, it works, when using OLEDB with an access database, it throws the error No value given for one or more required parameter
Thanks for your help.
I found the problem:
SELECT
D.NoProduction,
D.Quantite,
D.DateMaxProd,
Lignes.Référence
FROM
[Détail Production] AS D
INNER JOIN
Lignes ON D.NoLigne = Lignes.NoLigne
WHERE
D.Soldee = 0 AND
D.EtatLigne = 0 AND
Lignes.Soldee = 0 AND
(D.QteRecue - D.Quantite - D.Acompter * D.NbHS) > 0
I was missing the comparison on the last condition of the WHERE clause. I thought it was because of the alias or the brackets because others online had similar problems and the error changed as I tried other ways of writing the FROM clause. The right way to write a name with spaces in HFSQL is with brackets [ ]. Also, there were problems with names not matching accents from the database.
I have the following select statement in ABAP:
SELECT munic~mandt VREFER BIS AB ZZELECDATE ZZCERTDATE CONSYEAR ZDIMO ZZONE_M ZZONE_T USAGE_M USAGE_T M2MC M2MT M2RET EXEMPTMCMT EXEMPRET CHARGEMCMT
INTO corresponding fields of table GT_INSTMUNIC_F
FROM ZCI00_INSTMUNIC AS MUNIC
INNER JOIN EVER AS EV on
MUNIC~POD = EV~VREFER(9).
"where EV~BSTATUS = '14' or EV~BSTATUS = '32'.
My problem with the above statement is that does not recognize the substring/offset operation on the 'ON' clause. If i remove the '(9) then
it recognizes the field, otherwise it gives error:
Field ev~refer is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables
nor defined by a "DATA" statement. I have also tried doing something similar in the 'Where' clause, receiving a similar error:
LOOP AT gt_instmunic.
clear wa_gt_instmunic_f.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-mandt = gt_instmunic-mandt.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-bis = gt_instmunic-bis.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ab = gt_instmunic-ab.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-zzelecdate = gt_instmunic-zzelecdate.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZCERTDATE = gt_instmunic-ZZCERTDATE.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-CONSYEAR = gt_instmunic-CONSYEAR.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZDIMO = gt_instmunic-ZDIMO.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZONE_M = gt_instmunic-ZZONE_M.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-ZZONE_T = gt_instmunic-ZZONE_T.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-USAGE_M = gt_instmunic-USAGE_M.
wa_gt_instmunic_f-USAGE_T = gt_instmunic-USAGE_T.
temp_pod = gt_instmunic-pod.
SELECT vrefer
FROM ever
INTO wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer
WHERE ( vrefer(9) LIKE temp_pod ). " PROBLEM WITH SUBSTRING
"AND ( BSTATUS = '14' OR BSTATUS = '32' ).
ENDSELECT.
WRITE: / sy-dbcnt.
WRITE: / 'wa is: ', wa_gt_instmunic_f.
WRITE: / 'wa-ever is: ', wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer.
APPEND wa_gt_instmunic_f TO gt_instmunic_f.
WRITE: / wa_gt_instmunic_f-vrefer.
ENDLOOP.
itab_size = lines( gt_instmunic_f ).
WRITE: / 'Internal table populated with', itab_size, ' lines'.
The basic task i want to implement is to modify a specific field on one table,
pulling values from another. They have a common field ( pod = vrefer(9) ). Thanks in advance for your time.
If you are on a late enough NetWeaver version, it works on 7.51, you can use the OpenSQL function LEFT or SUBSTRING. Your query would look something like:
SELECT munic~mandt VREFER BIS AB ZZELECDATE ZZCERTDATE CONSYEAR ZDIMO ZZONE_M ZZONE_T USAGE_M USAGE_T M2MC M2MT M2RET EXEMPTMCMT EXEMPRET CHARGEMCMT
FROM ZCI00_INSTMUNIC AS MUNIC
INNER JOIN ever AS ev
ON MUNIC~POD EQ LEFT( EV~VREFER, 9 )
INTO corresponding fields of table GT_INSTMUNIC_F.
Note that the INTO clause needs to move to the end of the command as well.
field(9) is a subset operation that is processed by the ABAP environment and can not be translated into a database-level SQL statement (at least not at the moment, but I'd be surprised if it ever will be). Your best bet is either to select the datasets separately and merge them manually (if both are approximately equally large) or pre-select one and use a FAE/IN clause.
They have a common field ( pod = vrefer(9) )
This is a wrong assumption, because they both are not fields, but a field an other thing.
If you really need to do that task through SQL, I'll suggest you to check native SQL sentences like SUBSTRING and check if you can manage to use them within an EXEC_SQL or (better) the CL_SQL* classes.
I am on the 7th set of queries I have been working on and all of them have used SELECT * INTO some_table without an issue. For some reason tho the below query in SQL Server is throwing the error
An object or column name is missing or empty. For SELECT INTO
statements, verify each column has a name. For other statements, look
for empty alias names. Aliases defined as "" or [] are not allowed.
Change the alias to a valid name.
Any Idea on what it could be?
Note that running the query without the select into will result in data being returned and displayed as expected.
Select * into MYDB.MY_TBL
SELECT OT.U_ID AS "U_ID"
,R.E AS "E"
,R.IR AS "CKT"
,A.RI AS "OC"
,A.EQ AS "SEQ"
,A.HA AS "CHA"

ON OT.E = R.E
JOIN [LINKEDSERVER\INST,0000].FE.dbo.tblA A
ON R.IR = A.IR
WHERE OT.U_ID = 'TEST'
You have two selects. I think you just want:
SELECT OT.U_ID AS "U_ID",
. . .
INTO MYDB.MY_TBL
FROM . . .
The INTO should follow the SELECT column list.
Or alternatively, you could use a subquery, but that does not seem necessary.
Where #GordonLinoff example works I realized what I forgot and it was my FROM () sub-query setup I normally use.
I will provide an example in contrast to Gordon's method.
IE:
Select * into MYDB.MY_TBL
FROM(
SELECT OT.U_ID AS "U_ID"
...
FROM MYDB.OTHER_TBL OT
WHERE OT.U_ID = 'TEST'
) SUB
Please note these two points:
1.You have two columns with given "CHA" alias
2.It Seems you need to rewrite the query as:
SELECT OT.U_ID AS "U_ID"
,R.E AS "E"
,R.IR AS "CKT"
,A.RI AS "OC"
,A.EQ AS "SEQ"
,A.HA AS "CHA_DUPLICATE"
,A.A_HA AS "ATE"
,A.BIL AS "BIL"
,A.CHA AS "CHA_DUPLICATE2"
,A.RAT AS "AMT"
,A.PRM AS "PREM"
,A.T_CHG AS "RAT"
,A.PER AS "LAS"
,A.S_BIL AS "BIL_A"
,A.CD AS "CDE"
,A.CBIL_J AS "BIL_J"
,A.AMT_D AS "TB"
,A.CRY AS "CTRY"
,A.RVW AS "RVW"
INTO MYDB.MY_TBL -- <<<<<<< NOTE
FROM MYDB.OTHER_TBL OT
JOIN [LINKEDSERVER\INST,0000].FE.dbo.tblR R

JOIN [LINKEDSERVER\INST,0000].FE.dbo.tblA A
ON R.IR = A.IR
WHERE OT.U_ID = 'TEST'
I have a reporting services report and a stoproc. The report has a multivalue parameter that is being used like this:
<QueryParameter Name="#Aannemer">
<!-- Joins the multivalue selection into a single comma separated string. -->
<Value>=Join(Parameters!Aannemers.Value,",")</Value>
<rd:UserDefined>true</rd:UserDefined>
</QueryParameter>
The stoproc splits the multivalue parameter using string_split. The stoproc is very long so here is a smaller version of it:
#Aannemer AS NVARCHAR(max) = NULL
[...]
SELECT DISTINCT PV.ProefvakID
FROM [dbo].[Proefvak] PV
LEFT OUTER JOIN Meetvak MV ON MV.ProefvakID = PV.ProefvakID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Uitvoerder UI ON UI.UitvoerderID = MV.UitvoerderID
WHERE (UI.Uitvoerder IN(select value from string_split(#Aannemer,',')) OR #Aannemer IS NULL )
This all works like a charm so far.
If a user selects 'select all' for the Aannemer parameter, he wants to see all Proefvak's and not filter on Aannemers at all.
But if a Proefvak exists that has no Meetvak connected to it, the Proefvak will never be listed (because the Meetvak holds the Uitvoerder and the Proefvak has no Meetvak). The user still wants to see the Proefvak that has no Meetvak.
Is there a way to check in the stoproc whether the user has selected 'select all', so I can return all Proefvak's?
I hope you understand what I am trying to accomplish. I am a noob when it comes to SQL, so please be clear with the complex parts. Thanks in advance!
==EDIT==
Trying to use #EddiGordo's solution, that looks promising. The next problem is that the #Aannemer parameter does not include the value 'Select All', because this is not a real value. So I tried to edit the code on the SSRS side like this:
<QueryParameter Name="#Aannemer">
<!-- Joins the multivalue selection into a single comma separated string. This paramater should be split up in the stored procedure. -->
<Value>
=IIF(Parameters!Aannemers.Count = COUNT(1, "Aannemers")
, "Select All",
Join(Parameters!Aannemers.Value,","))
</Value>
<rd:UserDefined>true</rd:UserDefined>
</QueryParameter>
But I cannot deploy the SSRS code like this, I get this error:
"The expression used for the parameter '#Aannemer' in the dataset '#Aannemer' includes an aggregate or lookup function. Aggregate and lookup functions cannot be used in query parameter expressions."
Try this:
IF #Aannemer IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT PV.ProefvakID
FROM [dbo].[Proefvak] PV
LEFT OUTER JOIN Meetvak MV ON MV.ProefvakID = PV.ProefvakID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Uitvoerder UI ON UI.UitvoerderID = MV.UitvoerderID
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT DISTINCT PV.ProefvakID
FROM [dbo].[Proefvak] PV
LEFT OUTER JOIN Meetvak MV ON MV.ProefvakID = PV.ProefvakID
LEFT OUTER JOIN Uitvoerder UI ON UI.UitvoerderID = MV.UitvoerderID
WHERE UI.Uitvoerder IN(select value from string_split(#Aannemer,','))
END
try changing :
OR #Aannemer IS NULL
by
OR nullIf(#Aannemer, 'Select All') Is Null
in the where clause of your IN(Select... condition

Selecting individual fields like above will give me an "invalid identifier error". If I do select * then it gives me back the data without any error. What am I doing wrong here? Thank you.
The old quoted identifier problem... see point 9 in the database object naming documentation, and note that Oracle does not recommend using quoted identifiers.
You've put your column alias as lower case inside double-quotes. That means that any references to it also have to be quoted and exactly match the case. So this would work:
select
main_data.issue_number,
main_data."transaction_number"
from
...
But unless you have a burning need to have that alias like that - and I doubt you do as all the identifier names from the actual table columns are not quoted - it would be simpler to remove the double quotes from the inner selects:
select
main_data.issue_number,
main_data.transaction_number
from
(
select
...
'' as transaction_number,
p1header.check_account_number
...
UNION ALL
select
...
'' as output_tx_number_prin,
'' as output_tx_number_int,
check.transaction_number,
check.dda_number as check_account_number
...
You don't actually need to alias the columns in the second branch of the union; the column identifiers will all be taken from the first branch.
