move fields from one table to another

Former Member — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 10:39:12 GMT

Hi,

I would like to move fields from one internal table into corresponding fields of another internal table.

move-corresponding syntax seems only to work with structures. How do you accomplish this for internal tables? Do I have to use for loops?

regards

Baran

Loop at itab into wstab.

move-corresponding wstab to newtab.

append itab1 from newtab.

Endloop.

Hi baran,

yes u have to use the loop.

say one internal table is itab and the other is itab1

also workarea are wa_tab,wa_tab1 respectively.

Loop at itab into wa_tab.

move-corresponding wa_tab to wa_tab1.

append itab1 from wa_tab1.

clear : wa_tab,

wa_tab1.

Endloop.

loop at itab.

move corresponding fields of itab to itab1.

append itab1.

clear itab1.

endloop.

Yes you have to use loops and move-correspoding statements unless you have all the common fields in the same order on both internal table and no different fields to the left most.

eg:

data: begin of itab1 occurs 0,

field1 type i,

end of itab1.

data: begin of itab2 occurs 0,

field1 type i,

field2(1),

end of itab2.

do 5 times.

itab1-field1 = sy-index.

append itab1.

enddo.

itab2[] = itab1[].

loop at itab2.

write:/ itab2-field1.

endloop.

The above code would give you some idea.
