TOP is a T-SQL operator that returns the top x number of rows in a query. It can be used along with a where clause, say for instance to find the TOP group WHERE the date is within a specified range. SAP is a database neutral application platform that natively uses the limited set of Open SQL commands and also supports specific SQL implementations such as Microsoft's SQL Server. Thus you could execute your Microsoft®, Oracle® or other SQL query within the SAP® environment using the EXEC SQL command, however you should debug your query first within the database management system you created it in because SAP will not provide error information to you if the query is not running correctly.
