• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_QUERY020 - No condition table is provided for the "for all entries" selection ?

  The SAP error message FDT_QUERY020 indicates that there is an issue with a query that is attempting to use the "For All Entries" (FAE) selection method without a specified condition table. This typically occurs in the context of using the SAP Query or the ABAP programming environment when trying to retrieve data from a database table.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A query is set up to use the "For All Entries" selection method, but no condition table (or internal table) has been defined for the selection.
  The FAE method requires a valid internal table to compare against the database table, and if this is not provided, the system cannot execute the query.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Go to the query definition in the SAP Query tool (transaction code SQ01).
  Ensure that you have defined a valid internal table that contains the values you want to use for the FAE selection.
  
  
  
  Define Condition Table:
  
  If you are using a custom ABAP program, ensure that you have populated the internal table that you intend to use with the FAE selection.
  Make sure that the internal table is not empty before executing the query.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  If you are using a standard query, consider modifying it to include a condition table or to remove the FAE selection if it is not necessary.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you are working in ABAP, you can debug the program to check the values of the internal table before the FAE selection is executed. This will help you identify if the table is being populated correctly.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Help:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on using the "For All Entries" selection method correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  For All Entries (FAE): This is a method used in ABAP to retrieve records from a database table based on the values in an internal table. It is important that the internal table is not empty; otherwise, it can lead to performance issues or errors.
  Performance Considerations: Using FAE can lead to performance issues if the internal table is large or if it is not indexed properly. Always ensure that the internal table is optimized for the query.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide patches related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FDT_QUERY020 error and successfully execute your query.
