Diff between it_tab1 = it_tab2 and it_tab1[] = it_tab2[]

Former Member — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 06:45:39 GMT

what is the difference between it_tab1 = it_tab2 and it_tab1[] = it_tab2[].

Will it_tab1 = it_tab2 mean only the header line contents are assigned to it_tab1?

regards,

balaji

Hi,

it_tab1[] = it_tab2[] :

This is like copying the body of it_itab1 to it_itab2.

Hope this helps u,

hi....

itab1 = itab2 is just for header data of the internal table whereas itab1[] = itab2[] is ued for bosy of the internal table i.e. all the contents of internal table itab1 will be passed on to internal table 2.

whereas in the first statement only the contenets in the header line will be passed on.

Hi Balaji!

u r right in saying that widout [] symbol only header lines are copied.

Wid [] symbol the complete body i.e contents are copied.

rewrd if helpful.

If you created an internal table with optional header line means WITH HEADER LINE statement....

then it_tab1 = it-tab2 refers only header lines are copied

it-tab1[] = it_tab2[] refers body of the itab are copied.

if it_tab1 and it_tab2 both of them are declared with header line then

it_tab1 = it_tab2. >> means transferring header line contents from it_tab2 to it_tab1.

And

it_tab1[] = it_tab2[]. >> means transferring contents of table body from it_tab2 to it_tab1.

if it_tab1 and it_tab2 both of them are declared without header line then

it_tab1 = it_tab2. >> means transferring contents of table body from it_tab2 to it_tab1.

And

it_tab1[] = it_tab2[]. >> means transferring contents of table body from it_tab2 to it_tab1.

i.e. there is no diff. between these 2 statements.

Joy.

Hi,

Writing itab_tab1 you address only header line, whereas itab_tab1[] you address its content.

Therefore statement:

it_tab1 = it_tab2 - will copy header line of it_tab2 to it_tab1

it_tab1[ ] = it_tab2[ ] - will copy content of it_tab2 to it_tab1

Note!

Both tables must be defined with header lines.

Marcin

Hi balaji,

it_tab1 = it_tab2 will assing only header from it_tab2 to it_tab1.

where as it_tab[] stands for table content so

it_tab1[] = it_tab2[] will copy entire data from it_tab2 to it_tab1 . (if both are compatibility)

Hi,

If you created an internal table with header line means WITH HEADER LINE statement....

1. it_tab1 = it-tab2 : only header lines are copied from it-itab2 to it-itab1.

it-tab1[] = it_tab2[] : body of the itab are copied from it-itab2 to it-itab1.

Plz reward if useful.

thanks,
