Hi,

I think you can do it by using Read statement

THID IS WITH TWO FIELDS IT ALSO WORKS FOR 4FIELDS

TYPES: BEGIN OF TT ,

F1 TYPE CHAR1,

F2 TYPE CHAR1,

END OF TT.

DATA: IT TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TT,

WA TYPE TT,

IT2 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TT,

WA2 TYPE TT.

WA-F1 = 'K'.

WA-F2 = 'I'.

APPEND WA TO IT.

WA-F1 = 'R'.

WA-F2 = 'A'.

APPEND WA TO IT.

WA-F1 = 'N'.

WA-F2 = 'P'.

APPEND WA TO IT.

IT2 = IT.

LOOP AT IT2 INTO WA2 .

WRITE:/ WA2-F1 ,

WA2-F2.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

Use READ table statement with the specified index.

you will be able to see the record you want.

Hi

No! U can't do it, u need LOOP or READ TABLE statament in order to read all records and then move the value of the field to the target table:

LOOP AT ITAB.
   MOVE ITAB-FIELD4 TO ITAB2-FIELD4.
   APPEND ITAB2.
ENDLOOP.

or

DO.
  READ TABLE ITAB INDEX SY-INDEX.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. EXIT. ENDIF.
   MOVE ITAB-FIELD4 TO ITAB2-FIELD4.
   APPEND ITAB2.
ENDDO.

Hi,

You can just use DESCRIBE statement for gettin number of rows in your internal table.
Then use DO statement for that number of times and move corresponding fields to other internal table.

Hi,

See this code snippet..

DATA n TYPE i.
DESCRIBE TABLE itab1 LINES n.
DO n TIMES.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING itab1 TO itab2.
ENDDO.

hi ,

use MOVE ITAB2 TO ITAB2..

[Former Member]

Hi,

2 ways you can transfer your data from 1 internal table(ITAB1) to other (ITAB2):

1. MOVE ITAB1 TO ITAB2.

2. ITAB2 = ITAB1.

hi amit should be as follows :

itab2[] = itab1-fiel4 ,without looping itab1 or any loop operation as do..enddo etc is it possible with field symbols, ie can we avoid a loop operation to do this.
