Compare generic tables.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to build a generic table comparison.

The general idea was to loop through one and read the other.


LOOP AT i_table1 ASSIGNING <line1>.
    READ TABLE i_table2 ASSIGNING <line2> INDEX sy-tabix.
      idx_field = 1.
      DO.
        UNASSIGN <field1>.
        UNASSIGN <field2>.
        ASSIGN COMPONENT idx_field OF STRUCTURE <line1> TO <field1>.
        ASSIGN COMPONENT idx_field OF STRUCTURE <line2> TO <field2>.
        IF <field1> IS ASSIGNED AND <field2> IS ASSIGNED.
          IF <field1> = <field2>.
         .....

but in order to make it generic the method parameter has to be of type ANY TABLE.

then i'm nit able to read the table by index.

Does anyone have a solution to compare to generic tables ?

Best Regards,

Rasmus

You can compare two tables like the next example:

if table1[] = table2[].

write 'ok'.

else.

write 'bad'.

endif.

Table1 and table2 can be field symbols

Hi Jorge,

Unfortunately there can be some minor differences due to some naming conventions.

So I have to check each field in order to determine if the difference is caused by these naming conventions.
