Hi ,

If you are populating the table itab1 then it will contain the data which you populated else it will be blank.

Because as i see you are not making any changes to the data in itab1.

This code will give error because when you use <b>type table of</b>.. i think you shouldnot <b>use occurs with header line</b>..

<b>You will get occurs not expected</b>

Hi Rishi,

First of all you can not use ocurs with type table of.

you have to use :

itab1 type table of I with header line,

itab2 type table of I with header line,

secondly, <b>move itab1 to itab2</b> will only copy the c<b>ontents of header of itab1 to header of itab2</b>.

If you want to copy whole itab1 to itab2, Please use:

<b>move itab1[] to itab2[].</b>

Hope this helps you,

Hi Rishi,

The header line would be copied from itab1 to itab2 & not the complete table. Only the work area (itab1-->itab2)corresponding to the tables would be copied.

The code move itab1[] to itab2[] will copy the complete table.

Chetan.
