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.

for MOVE the both structures should be same, becasue it startring copy first field of first structure to first field of second structure.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING will look for fields with similar names in both the structures and move only those fields which have same name.

move means same like

a = b.

move b to a. ( shuld be type matched)
