Hi,

MOVE just move the values without looking at the field names. Meaning it just the moves the number of characters from the source to the target structure OR variable.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING looks for the corresponding field names in the target structure and move those values only..

DATA: BEGIN OF source,

matnr type matnr,

end of source.

DATA: BEGIN OF target,

vbeln type vbeln,

matnr type matnr,

end of target.

source-matnr = 'asdfasf'.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING source to target.

write: / 'vbeln- ', target-vbeln.

write: / 'matnr- ', target-matnr.

clear: target.

skip 1.

MOVE source to target.

write: / 'vbeln- ', target-vbeln.

write: / 'matnr- ', target-matnr.

• If you see the second output the value in matnr is moved to

• vbeln in target.

Thanks,

MOVE is used to move data from one field to another field with similar datatype.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING is used to move data between structures. It searches for all names of subfields that occur both in struc1 and struc2.

hi vijaya,

mOVE - > when we use Move,

MOVE source to TARGET.

here source and target shuld be of same structre and order.

MOVE COressponding - >

MOVE CORRESSPONDING source TO target.

the source and target shuld be same structure but can be in different order.

but the process will happend correctly like MOVE.

BUT PERFORMANCE

***********************

NEVER USE MOVE CORRESSPONDING.

IT WILL TAKE MORE TIME.

SO ALWYS USE 'MOVE'.
