SELECT * FROM T005T
WHERE LAND1 EQ 'D'.
WRITE: T005T-SPRAS, T005T-NATIO.
ENDSELECT.
SELECT * FROM <dbtab> INTO TABLE <itab> [WHERE ...]
[ORDER BY ...].
Note that there is no ENDSELECT here.
SELECT * FROM <dbtab> APPENDING TABLE <itab> [WHERE ...]
[ORDER BY ...].
If the operation was successful, the system field SY-SUBRC is set to 0, otherwise
to 4.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM <dbtab> WHERE ...
In this case, the WHERE condition may contain only equality conditions linked using
AND. You
have to specify the primary key in full.
