compare two work areas

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

Is there a way to compare two work areas with the same structure to check if the values are the same? The problem is that I don't know the fields of the work areas, I have dynamic programming & field symbols..

Any statement to do that?

If both structures are same then u can use..

if wa1 EQ WA2.

*both are same

endif.

HEllo,

U can check like this:

<b>IF WA1 EQ WA2

ENDIF.</b>

Thank you for your answers.

Now another question. I have a filled work area. I want to select that record from the original dictionary table in another work area. I also have the index of that record. How can I write the select statement?

hi George,

do this way ..

select single * from <DB Table> into <WA> where <conditions >.

read table itab into wa_old index <indesx no>.

select single * from table into wA_new where field1 eq wa_old-field1
                                                        field2 eq wa_old-field2.

SELECT SINGLE * FROM XXXX
                            INTO wa
                            WHERE matnr = wa-matnr
                            AND  xxxx = wa-xxx.

Specify all the key fiedls in teh whree condition.

I know to do it in the way you wrote above, but remember that I don't know the fields of the wa. the question is if I can write a dynamic select statement using the existing wa or record index.
