This is the PDF Version of the development weblog series on SDN published in 2007 that gave an introduction to
ABAP newbies who want to learn how to develop simple programs in ABAP. This PDF file does not contain the few
weblogs of the original series that explained how to install and administrate the ABAP demo version and how to
import and export programs.

Hi there, I'm trying to run the problem example Y_SELECT_F_FLIGHT but it is not running, it is this
way:
REPORT Y_SELECT_F_FLIGHT.
DATA: itab_flight TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sflight, wa_flight TYPE sflight.
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE itab_flight
WHERE carrid = 'LH' AND seatsmax < 250.
LOOP AT itab_flight INTO wa_flight.
WRITE: wa_flight-mandt.
WRITE wa_flight-carrid.
WRITE wa_flight-connid.
WRITE wa_flight-fldate.
WRITE wa_flight-price.
WRITE wa_flight-currency.
WRITE wa_flight-planetype.
WRITE wa_flight-seatsmax.
WRITE wa_flight-seatsocc.
WRITE wa_flight-paymentsum.
WRITE wa_flight-seatsmax_b.
WRITE wa_flight-seatsocc_b.
WRITE wa_flight-seatsmax_f.

I'm getting no error Chaitanya, I just run it and nothing happens, it's odd.
I'm new here and I was reading this document to learn more, but in this example I
think that missed more information.

In case the tables are empty, use this report: SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR to fill them.

How can I verify if the table has information Philip ? I clicked on the table name, it
opened, but appears just each field of the table. I sorry, but I think that I do not
know how to use this report SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR, I just include it to this
code ?
Thanks.

Hi Jairo
that report is simply fetching data from database table and displaying in
output.
which sap system you are using! try in IDES systemm definitely it will
work or else try with another table like Scarr, spfli....etc.

Yes Krishna, but the output with the information is not being
shown. I'm using here the Netweaver Trial. The first example
that is just writing some text works, I think that is probably the
table as you have said here, probably it does not have
information. I thought that as the table already comes on the
system, it would come already filled.

HI Buddy, You are getting the error because the sflight table might not contain any data by
default. So you need to fill in the data & you dont have to do it manually just use this
transaction BC_DATA_GEN , its not complicated just run this transaction & you'll now how
to proceed...
And to check wether your table has data in it use transaction SE 16 & type in the table name

So when you run the program you just see a blank screen ? or the
program doesn't execute at all ?
Anyways just give it a try, if im right that should fix your problem..

The program doesn't execute at all Nikhil, if I put a line write
'something' than the screen show the result, but this code,
nothing happens. Just a question, I opened the transaction
se16 and seems that there isn't any value to the table as you
had said, but how I run this transaction BC_DAT_GEN ?

Its just like a normal transaction code, just type it in &
hit enter it would take you to a screen where you can
see options to fill data into tables like spfli, sflight etc
just select the "standard data record" radio button &
hit execute...

Great Nikhil, it worked. The table was empty,
that was the problem. Thanks a lot for all your
help and everyone here. It is great to have
people to count in my ABAP Learning.
Thanks and have a good day.

always use tables statement and i think your table SFLIGHT is empty for particular where
condition.

Tables:SFLIGHT.

DATA: itab_flight TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sflight, wa_flight TYPE sflight.
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE itab_flight.....................................
etc etc....

Hi use SE11 and type the name of the table "sflight" so you can view the content

Hello
Jairo Franchi,

As you have used write : work_area-<Field name>.
then again write statment.
But there is a concept called chaining.
with the help of chaining u can write multiple line using single write statment.
It will also increase ur performance.
: is chaining operator
Note that in case of chaining only the last statment will end with . (period) operator
and rest with ,
Like
write:/ wa_flight-mandt,
wa_flight-carrid,
wa_flight-connid,
wa_flight-fldate,
wa_flight-price.


so and so.

U can do one more thing for ur better understanding purpose , as in ur case data
is not displaying, check the condition like an isplay a message.

IF T itab_flight IS INITAIL.
message ' NO Record to display' type 'I'.
ELSE.
LOOP AT itab_flight INTO wa_flight.
WRITE: / wa_flight-mandt,
wa_flight-carrid,
wa_flight-connid,
wa_flight-fldate,
wa_flight-price,
wa_flight-currency,
wa_flight-planetype,
wa_flight-seatsmax,
wa_flight-seatsocc,
wa_flight-paymentsum,
wa_flight-seatsmax_b,
wa_flight-seatsocc_b,
wa_flight-seatsmax_f,
wa_flight-seatsocc_f.
