DATA - RANGE OF

Quick Reference

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Syntax

DATA range_tab {TYPE RANGE OF type}|{LIKE RANGE OFdobj} 

               [INITIAL SIZE n] 

               [VALUE IS INITIAL] 
   
           [READ-ONLY]. 

Effect

This statement defines a ranges table range_tab with the table type described in the section TYPES - RANGE OF. The table type defined here, however, is not a standalone type, but exists as a property of the data object range_tab.

The addition VALUE IS INITIAL can be used to specify an initial start value.

Notes

• Outside of classes, the addition WITH HEADER LINE can also be used to declare an obsolete header line.
• The declaration of a ranges table using the statement RANGES is obsolete.
  

Example

In this example, a ranges table is declared, filled, and evaluated in the WHERE condition of a SELECT statement.

DATA carrid_range TYPE RANGE OF spfli-carrid. 

carrid_range = VALUE #( 
  ( sign = 'I' option = 'BT' low = 'AA' high = 'LH') ). 

SELECT * 
       FROM spfli 
       WHERE carrid IN @carrid_range 
       INTO TABLE @DATA(spfli_tab).
