Do they need to be identical?

You might want to declare an internal (TYPE SORTED TABLE OF) with a unique key. this way you will always have unique records. But when insert data into internal table use the INSERT and NOT the APPEND. This can violate the key and will give a short dump.

hi,

use this code.

data: wa_entry type zentry. 

read table itab1 from wa_entry comparing all fields.

if sy-subrc eq 2.
  "True
else.
  "False
endif.
