in case of move-corresponding only dose fields of wa1 will be move to wa2 which have same field names..i.e. even if wa1 and wa2 have different structres(fields) dis statemnt 'll b executed but incase of wa2 = wa1, dis statment 'll only b execute if both structures are identical 'i.e all fields same otherwise it'll giv error

plz reward points if di helps

In move-corresponding ITAB1 to ITAB2, fields are moved field/record by record/field, if the fields are similar in both itabs and we have to APPEND ITAB2 every time

where as

ITAB2[] = itab1[]

all the data from itab1 is dumped at a time to ITAB2, including complete body.

here also both should have same structures.No need of Append here.

reward points if useful

Hi Amarendar..

Move-Corresponding is used to Assign only work areas . where as MOVE or = can be used to Assign any type of variables.

Move-corresponding wa1 to wa2.

Move-Corresponding will assign the Fields of the Source work area to the Target work area when the field names are same irrespective of their position.

Move wa1 to wa2.

wa2 = wa1.

This will Copy the Workarea character by character irrespective of the fieldnames.

move-corresponding wa1 to wa2. - Using this will move the values of the similar fields of WA1 to WA2. In this case WA1 and WA2 needs to have some common fields.

wa2 = wa1 >> U can do this if and only is Wa2 and WA1 are the same structures. Otherwise WA2 will be populated wrongly.
