• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_QUERY015 - Enter table records for "for all entries" selection ?

  The SAP error message FDT_QUERY015 typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query that uses the "For All Entries" (FAE) selection method, but the input table for the FAE is empty. This error indicates that the system cannot process the query because it requires records to be present in the specified table for the FAE selection to work.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Input Table: The most common cause of this error is that the internal table you are using for the "For All Entries" selection is empty. This means that there are no records to match against the main query.
  Incorrect Logic: There may be a logical error in the program or query that leads to the input table not being populated correctly before the FAE selection is executed.
  Data Availability: The data you expect to be in the input table may not exist in the database, leading to an empty selection.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Input Table: Before executing the query, ensure that the internal table you are using for the FAE selection is populated with the necessary records. You can do this by adding a check in your code to see if the table is empty.
  Example:
  IF it_table IS NOT INITIAL.
      " Execute your query here
  ELSE.
      " Handle the case where the table is empty
      MESSAGE 'Input table is empty' TYPE 'E'.
  ENDIF.
  
  
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the flow of your program and see where the input table is being populated. Ensure that the logic leading to the population of this table is correct.
  
  
  Data Validation: Verify that the data you expect to be in the database actually exists. You can run a separate query to check for the presence of the data.
  
  
  Alternative Logic: If the FAE selection is not necessary, consider using a different approach to retrieve the data without relying on the FAE method.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  For All Entries (FAE): This is a method in ABAP that allows you to select records from a database table based on the entries in an internal table. It is often used to improve performance by reducing the number of database accesses.
  Performance Considerations: Using FAE can lead to performance improvements, but it is essential to ensure that the input table is not empty to avoid runtime errors.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on using FAE and best practices for querying data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_QUERY015 error and ensure that your queries execute successfully.
