Hi,

MOVE just move the values without looking at the field names. Meaning it just the moves the number of characters from the source to the target structure OR variable.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING looks for the corresponding field names in the target structure and move those values only..

DATA: BEGIN OF source,

matnr type matnr,

end of source.

DATA: BEGIN OF target,

vbeln type vbeln,

matnr type matnr,

end of target.

source-matnr = 'asdfasf'.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING source to target.

write: / 'vbeln- ', target-vbeln.

write: / 'matnr- ', target-matnr.

clear: target.

skip 1.

MOVE source to target.

write: / 'vbeln- ', target-vbeln.

write: / 'matnr- ', target-matnr.

If you see the second output the value in matnr is moved to
vbeln in target.

Thanks,

Naren

MOVE is used to move data from one field to another field with similar datatype.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING is used to move data between structures. It searches for all names of subfields that occur both in struc1 and struc2.

hi vijaya,

mOVE - > when we use Move,

MOVE source to TARGET.

here source and target shuld be of same structre and order.

MOVE COressponding - >

MOVE CORRESSPONDING source TO target.

the source and target shuld be same structure but can be in different order.

but the process will happend correctly like MOVE.

BUT PERFORMANCE

***********************

NEVER USE MOVE CORRESSPONDING.

IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME.

SO ALWYS USE 'MOVE'.
