Which ABAP SQL clause allows the use of inline declarations?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The ABAP SQL clause that allows the use of inline declarations is the INTO clause. The INTO clause is used to specify the target variable or field symbol where the result of the SQL query is stored. The INTO clause can use inline declarations to declare the target variable or field symbol at the same position where it is used, without using a separate DATA or FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.The inline declaration is performed using the DATA or @DATA operators in the declaration expression12. For example:

The following code snippet uses the INTO clause with an inline declaration to declare a local variable itab and store the result of the SELECT query into it:

SELECT * FROM scarr INTO TABLE @DATA (itab).

The following code snippet uses the INTO clause with an inline declaration to declare a field symbol <fs> and store the result of the SELECT query into it:

SELECT SINGLE * FROM scarr INTO @<fs>.

You cannot do any of the following:

FROM: The FROM clause is used to specify the data source of the SQL query, such as a table, a view, or a join expression.The FROM clause does not allow the use of inline declarations12.

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF: The INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF clause is used to specify the target structure or table where the result of the SQL query is stored. The INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF clause does not allow the use of inline declarations.The target structure or table must be declared beforehand using a DATA or FIELD-SYMBOLS statement12.

FIELDS: The FIELDS clause is used to specify the columns or expressions that are selected from the data source of the SQL query. The FIELDS clause does not allow the use of inline declarations.The FIELDS clause must be followed by an INTO clause that specifies the target variable or field symbol where the result is stored12.

Haha, I love these SQL questions! They're like a secret language that only us ABAP nerds know. Anyway, my money's on B) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF. It's the one that makes my life easier, so it's gotta be the right answer.

Wait, wait, wait... is this a trick question? I bet the answer is A) FROM. That's where all the magic happens, am I right?

Oh man, this one's tricky. I'm gonna go with D) FIELDS. Isn't that the clause that lets you specify the columns you want to retrieve?

I think the answer is D) FIELDS because it explicitly mentions fields, which are necessary for inline declarations.

That makes sense, but I still think C) INTO is the correct answer for inline declarations.

C) INTO, of course! That's the one that lets you declare the target fields inline, without having to define a separate structure.

I disagree, I believe the answer is B) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF because it specifies the fields to be selected.

Hmm, I think it's B) INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF. That's the one that allows you to map the query results directly to your ABAP structure, right?
