Corresponding operator - map a constant value

former_member314455 — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 13:57:38 GMT

Hi Guys,

Is there a single statement to achieve the below?

1) itab1 = itab2

2) Replace value of field1 (of all entries) in itab1 with a constant value 'X'.

I was trying to use Corresponding operator, but only allows mapping values from itab2.

Thanks,

Ajith

If you are using new ABAP statements, then, I could find the following 'single' statement. But, due to the complexity of this statement, I wouldn't recommend this.

tabl2 = value #( for entry in tabl1

( corresponding #( value ty2( base corresponding #( entry ) field1 = 'X' ) ) ) ).

Rather, split it into 3 statements and the program becomes much more readable.

tabl2 = corresponding #( tabl1 ).

strc2-field1 = 'X'.

modify tabl2 from strc2 transporting field1 where field1 ne strc2-field1.

Thanks,

Juwin

Thanks !

Simplified it a bit and seems to work.

itab1 =

VALUE #( FOR wa IN itab1

( VALUE #( BASE CORRESPONDING #( wa )

field1 = 'X' ) ) ).

Hi Ajith, I tried that in my system and it gives me a syntax error. May be you are on a later version of support pack, which includes the fix for this bug.

Thanks,
