Hi,

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE is transferring the value from select clause to itab where the field names are same.

suppose you have

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr like mara-matnr,

menge like mseg-menge,

lgort like mard-lgort,

end of itab.

select matnr lgort into table from mard where....

it may give an error because you are not filling menge here or it may fetch the value in matnr and menge field.

but if you use INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE then it will fetch the data to matnr and lgort field only.

INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE is only matching by name not by datatype be careful.

reward points if it helps,

Hi!

If your internal table has NOT the same structure as the ddic table you are selecting from, but it has the SAME FIELDNAMES, then you have to use the INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF statement.

Hi,

in this below kind of internal table declaration we will use "into corresponding fields of table" to fill the data from database table

data:begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr like mara-matnr,

mbrsh type mara-mbrsh,

ersda type mara-ersda,

end of itab.

select * from mara into corresponding fields of table itab.

loop at itab.

write:/ itab-matnr,itab-mbrsh,itab-ersda.

endloop.

rgds,

hi,

1.- Change the declaration of the Itab as a type table of Dbtab.

Ex: data: t_xxx type table of xxx (with header line).

2- If the the fields of both tables have the same you can use

Ex: select * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS....

3- Use the statement:

Select a b c into ( a b c ) from xxx into table t_xx where...

HI

The INTO clause defines the target area into which the selection from the SELECT clause is written. Suitable target areas are variables whose data type is compatible with or convertible into that of the selection in the SELECT clause.

The SELECT clause determines the data type of the target area as follows:

· The linesspecification in the SELECT clause determines the depth of the target area, that is, whether it is a flat or a tabular structure.

· The colsspecification in the SELECT clause determines the structure (line type) of the target area.

To read data into one, use the following in the INTO clause

SELECT ... INTO wa ...

The target area wa must be at least as large as the line to be read into it. When you read the data into wa, its previous contents are overwritten. However, the components of wa that are not affected by the SELECTstatement retain their previous values.

If the work area is structured, you can use the CORRESPONDING FIELDS addition. This transfers only the contents of fields whose names are identical in the database table and the work area. This includes any alias column names that you specified in the selection.

Hi,

This is used in those select queries where you are selecting some fields from a databse table into an internal table which has some fields other than what you have selected from the database.

It is used to differentiate the fields of an internal table so that the correct fields get populated from the field values of the database fetch.

Thanks,

Hi Debarshi,

When use to select table fields in the different order from a table, then we will use corresponding fields of but the field what ever u have named in the local internal table should match the fieldname of the table .

MATNR MATNR CHAR 18 0 Material Number

ERSDA ERSDA DATS 8 0 Created On

ERNAM ERNAM CHAR 12 0 Name of Person who LAEDA LAEDA DATS 8 0 Date of Last Change

egdata : begin of itab occurs 0,

matnr type matnr,

Ernam type Ernam,

Ersda type ersda,

end of itab.

select matnr ernam ersda into corresponding fields of table itab.

Hi

TABLES: MARA.

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,

MATKL LIKE MARA-MATNR,

MAKTX LIKE MAKT-MAKTX,

BRGEW LIKE MARA-BRGEW,

END OF ITAB.

*

SELECT * FROM MARA INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB UP TO 10 ROWS.

*

LOOP AT ITAB.

WRITE: / ITAB-MATNR, ITAB-MATKL, ITAB-MAKTX, ITAB-BRGEW.

ENDLOOP.

you can see that maktx is not filled, it does'n correspond to mara.
