Conditional MOVE-CORRESPONDING

[Former Member]

Hi, I need to write a piece of code to move records from one internal table to another table. I got to know about the MOVE-CORRESPONDING statement in ABAP. Now my question is: if I use the following, what will the system do:

MOVE-CORRESPONDING ITAB1 TO ITAB2.

Will all the contents of ITAB1 be moved to ITAB2? I want to add a condition to it. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

Syntax:

MOVE-CORRESPONDING <sourcestruct> TO <destinationstruct>.

This statement assigns the contents of the components of structure <sourcestruct> to the components of the <destinationstruct> structure that have identical names.

If you want to add a condition to, it is better using MOVE statement instead.

Hi,

You can do someting like this.

IF <sourcestruct-field1> = <condition>
  MOVE <sourcestruct-field2> TO <destinationstruct-field3>.
  MOVE <sourcestruct-field3> TO <destinationstruct-field4>.
  ...
ENDIF.
