SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is the best alternative for SELECT

WITH JOINS, this statement is very helpful for reading data from
more than 2 tables.The load on database will be very less.
Syntax :

SELECT <FIELDS> FROM <DBTABLE1> INTO TABLE <ITAB1>

WHERE <CONDITION>.
SELECT <FIELDS> FROM <DBTABLE2> INTO <ITAB2> FOR
ALL ENTRIES IN <ITAB1>
WHERE <FIELD1> = <ITAB1>-FIELD1.
**HERE WE ARE READING DATA 2 DATABASE TABLES, SEE
WHERE CONDITIONS OF SECOND SELECT STATEMENT

Ensure before using SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES

Parent internal table must not be empty ( If it is empty, where

condition fails and it will get all records from database).

Remove all duplicate entries in parent internal table.

Here is the example of using SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES in

real-time applications

**DATA DECLERATIONS

DATA : IT_MARA TYPE TABLE OF MARA.

DATA : IT_MAKT TYPE TABLE OF MAKT .

**GET DATA FROM MARA TABLE

SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE IT_MARA

WHERE MATNR = '0001'.

**SORT MARA TABLE, TO DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES THE TABLE MUST BE SORTED IN ASCENDI

SORT IT_MARA ASCENDING .

**DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MARA COMPARING ALL FIELDS

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM IT_MARA COMPARING ALL FIELDS.
