Examples
Dependencies
Supplementary Documentation - AQ_MARK 0170
Use
You use this option to determine whether a query should access an additional table using a variant at runtime.
If the 'internal buffer' option is not set (this is the default setting) the system uses a SELECT SINGLE statement to read values from the additional table. This statement is only not executed if the previous SELECT SINGLE statement read exactly the same table entry (that is, if the key fields have not changed).
If you have set the 'internal buffer' option, the system creates an internal table with the same structure as the additional table. Then , each time you need a record from the additional table, it looks to see whether that record already exists in the internal table. If it is not, it executes the SELECT SINGLE statement, and places the record that it reads into the internal table. This ensures that each record from the additional table is only read once from the database table. However, this increases the memory requirement, since the system needs to store the records that it reads from the additional table in the internal table.
It will not be appropriate to use the 'internal buffer' option in every case.
- You should use the 'internal buffer' option when you expect that a query will read records from the additional table more than once. A typical example of this are tables containing long texts.
- You should not use the 'internal buffer' option if you expect the entries in an additional table only to be read once during a query.
- If you are using very wide additional tables, you must bear in mind that the records read may be truncated in an internal table.

You can use this to switch on the automatic text identification. If the option is set, an attempt is made to generate a text for the field using the entered LIKE reference.
The result of the text search is entered in the field "Text field". InfoSet users can then use values as well as field texts in reporting.
Supplementary Documentation - AQ_MARK 0185
Use
During the generation of query reports, access to database tables is optimized by reading from the tables only those fields that the query really needs. Information that enables the system to determine which fields these are, must be stored in the functional areas. If this information is incomplete, the query may return incorrect results. This is because not all of the required fields are recognized, and the values in the fields are not read from the database.
To establish whether all the necessary information is in fact stored in the functional area, you can switch off the access-optimization function. The query reports are then generated by reading the values from all the fields in the database tables.
Procedure
If you suspect that a query is returning inaccurate results, switch off the access-optimization function and restart the query. If the query delivers accurate results once the access-optimization function has been switched off, you need to modify the relevant functional area, because it lacks the information necessary to apply the access-optimization function.
Examples
Dependencies
The only way to switch off the access-optimization function is in the Title, Format screen under Extras -> Optimization On/Off.
Switch off the access-optimization function as described above, for test purposes only. As a rule, each query must be generated using the access optimization function, since this considerably reduces the runtime.

If you select this field, the local field will have the same attributes as the next (reference) field specified. Reference fields are addressed by their short names.
The attributes inherited from the reference field determine the type (non-numeric, numeric, date or time) and length of the field. If the reference field is a currency amount field or a quantity field, this attribute is also passed to the local field. In this case, the local field itself becomes the currency amount field or the quantity field and has the same currency or unit reference as the reference field. If you want to assign the attributes of a currency amount field or a quantity field to a local field, you can do this only as described, i.e. using a reference field.
Fields defined as symbols or icons cannot be used as reference fields.

When generating the query report, the system checked to see if it was possible to use a new structure to genreate the report. In this case, only the SAP List Viewer (ALV) is used to display the report. Reports with new structures work more effectively than reports with old structures.
Reports with new structures cannot be generated for all queries. For this type of query, existing reports (with old structures) are generated. The result is a list, which in turn can be sent to other display tools, such as the SAP List Viewer,
Usually, a report with a new structure is also generated whenever possible. If you select this field, only reports with old structures are generated for the current query.

Use
If you select this field, you get an additional function that counts the number of rows in the list when it is displayed with the SAP List Viewer (ALV). A prerequisite for this function provided by the List Viewer, is that the staged dataset must contain a special column for the number of rows. This is why the basic list contains a counter field internally, even though this field is not shown directly in the query definition. This counter field belongs to the dataset and must therefore also be referred to when you use certain interactive functions (file storage).
It is important that you do not confuse the type of row counting in the SAP List Viewer with the count that results from the query being displayed as an ABAP list. The count in the ABAP List counts the number of times a field occurs in the data source, whereas the SAP List Viewer counts only the number of rows in the dataset that you want to display. If the data source is a logical database (a hierarchical dataset) the results of the two different kinds of count can be very different.

Procedure
If you select this field, the list is not displayed on the screen when you execute the query, but the first sub-list is passed directly to the download interface and stored as a file.
The first sub-list must be a one-line basic list, a statistic or a ranked list). When you select the field, a parameter is predefined on the selection screen.

Use
This attribute is used only in special cases.
If you select this field, the query you defined is always treated as a single-row query during the generation of the report belonging to it. This corresponds to the classic query definition, whereby the same number (1) is always used as the row number in the screen Row Construction Basic List.
This attribute is used only if you are using the Query Painter to construct a query, and are working with an InfoSet that has been defined using a logical database. You may have to distribute fields over several rows, even though you really want a single-row display, such as you would get as standard if you used the SAP List Viewer (ALV) as the display medium. The hierarchical structure of the logical database means that, depending on how the individual fields are distributed among the rows, it is possible to generate a list with several rows (in the list there are several rows with the number y,y > x that belong to a row with the number x).
Lists with several rows can usually be displayed flat (for example, using the SAP List Viewer). However, in the data staging process, a distinction is made between single-row and multi-row lists. It is therefore possible for two queries to have different results, even though the only difference between them is that one has been defined as single-row and the other as multi-row.

If you select this field, ABAP/4 Query generates sub-totals for the sort criterion in the statistic, i.e. whenever the sort criterion changes, a line containing the relevant sub-totals is output.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
If you want to calculate sub-totals for a field (sort criterion) in a statistic, you should be aware of three conditions.
1. You can only use sort fields.
2. You must already have defined a sort for fields in the statistic
and the sort sequence must be in ascending order.
3. The sort number of any fields following a field defined for sorting
cannot be smaller than the sort number of the field itself.
Thus, if you want to generate a sub-total for the third field (sequence number 3), you must sort by this field and by both preceding fields. Since the sort sequence must also be in ascending order, the first field must have the sort number 1, the second field the sort number 2 and the third field the sort number 3.
For example, you cannot calculate sub-totals if the first field (sequence number 1) of a statistic has the sort number 2 and one of the following fields has the sort number 1. In this case, no sub-totals can be calculated for any of the fields, not even the first.

Procedure
If you select this field, the list is not displayed on the screen when you execute the query, but the sub-list is passed directly to a function module which is an SAP enhancement and must be implemented by the customer.
The first sub-list must be a one-line basic list, a statistic or a ranked list). When you select the field, a parameter is predefined on the selection screen.

When you select this field, page breaks are inserted in your statisitic for each sort string, that is, each time the sort string changes, a new page is displayed.
Procedure
Examples
Dependencies
If you want to use this page break function for a particular field, three conditions must be met.
First, page breaks can only be generated for sort fields.
Second, page breaks can only be created for a field if its preceding fields in the statistic are also sort fields and the sort order of these fields is ascending.
Third, no sort fields with a sort number smaller than the sort number of the field in question may follow a field for which page breaks have been set.
If, for example, you want to insert page breaks for field number three (position 3 in the sort sequence), this field and both of the fields preceding it must be sort fields (the system must sort according to them). Since the sort order has to be ascending, the first field must have sort number 1, the second field sort number 2, and the third field sort number 3.
In the following example, you may not display with page breaks. If the first field contained in the statistic (sequence number 1) has sort number 2 and on of its subsequent fields has been assigned sort number 1. In this case, page breaks may not be displayed for any of these fields, not even for the first one.
