Execute a SELECT statement as part of your SELECT statement - the subquery through IN.
Behold this example I stumbled across this morning:
data: lt_t5ni5 type standard table of t5ni5.
SELECT * FROM t5ni5 INTO TABLE lt_t5ni5
WHERE molga = '05' and
begda <= sy-datum and
endda >= sy-datum and
actco IN ( SELECT actco FROM t5ni3 WHERE molga = '05' ).
This will execute the selection on T5NI3 first, and continue with the main selection afterwards.
