The SelectTo* methods provide a special view of the table (like a dejoin). These methods return all table data that satisfies value specifications for certain table dimensions.

In the example below, the SelectTo method returns a two-dimensional view of one column of a table. Suppose the desktop application requests data from a particular table column (the "desired-data" column), where the values to be selected depend on values in two other ("key-value") columns of the table. The desktop program specifies the values in the "key-value" columns when calling the SelectTo method:

• the "key-value" columns are InputVector1 and InputVector2

• the "ResultTable from R/3" shows the original table, as transferred from R/3

• the "key-value" columns contain r-values {r1, r2, r3} and c-values {c1, c2}.
• the "desired-data" column contains m-values {m1, m2, m3, m4, m5}

• the "Desktop Report" shows the two-dimensional matrix of m-values created by the SelectTo method

Calling programs can request data by specifying either one or two input vectors. To specify values using:
