SAP S/4HANA Error 337: INTO Clause Not Allowed
Description
This error, ERR_SQL_INTO_NOT_ALLOWED, indicates an incorrect use of the `INTO` clause within an SQL `SELECT` statement, typically in custom ABAP code or a database procedure. It occurs when the `INTO` clause is placed in a context where it is not syntactically permitted or when the `SELECT` statement is not designed for single-row retrieval into variables.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_INTO_NOT_ALLOWED: INTO clause not allowed for this SELECT statement
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect INTO Clause Placement
The `INTO` clause is used within a subquery, a `HAVING` clause, or another syntactically forbidden part of the SQL `SELECT` statement.
SELECT Statement Type Mismatch
The `SELECT` statement is structured in a way (e.g., `SELECT DISTINCT`, `GROUP BY` without aggregation, or a `UNION` operation) that disallows direct assignment using the `INTO` clause.
Multiple Rows Expected
The `SELECT` statement is designed or expected to return multiple rows, making the `INTO` clause, which is for single-row assignment, inappropriate for the context.
