In tables.

Former Member — Fri, 11 May 2007 15:15:52 GMT

I have an internal table (x) with some columns.

I need to create another internal table (y) consisting of a single

column from table (x).

I loop through the table (x), appending each record to the newly created table (y).

Is there a faster way to do this?

If you loop the Y table, read records in X table and append values from X to Y only for that particular field , you can get the logic you are trying for

There are two ways,

first one is,

if the table A is appended from some other table then u can move that column

and append table B.

second one is,

Declare two internal tables

ITAB and ITAB1 9with just one field)

loop at iTAB.

itab1-f1 = itab-f4.

append itab1.

clear itab1.

endloop.

ther is no other faster way than this.

You can use this, but ONLY if the field on Y table is the first one in X table:

APPEND LINES OF x TO y.

That appers to work only when x and y has same structure, but actually when y has less fields then x works too if the fields on y has same structure of the firsts fields on x.

As SAP helps says it's 3 to 4 times faster then a loop.

Hope it helps!
