MOVE-CORRESPONDING Alternative..

[Former Member]

It is recommended not to use the Move-corresponding statements in the code.

Is there any alternative of that..which improves performance.

ex.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING WA_ITAB1 TO WA_SUCLOG.

please suggest.

Thanks.

This is a misconception. While the use of MOVE-CORRESPONDING does add a very small amount of execution time, it's not worth worrying about. It would likely take more time writing the code to move the fields individually than would be saved over the life of the program.

Where is this recommended, except in posts here that are copied from previous posts that are copied from previous posts that are...

As I stated on similar occasions, "corresponding" (in move and select statements) allows for very efficient programming techniques, whereas the performance aspect is neglectable (just compare yourself for heaven's sakes).

My favourite example is an ALV list based on a DDIC structure with the field catalog. Two new fields from already accessed tables are required. If you programmed the list correctly all you need to do is add those two fields to the DDIC structure and that's it. Thanks to "corresponding".

It may have been Vijay's subtle way of reminding me to take care of something that I said I would do a couple of weeks ago and have now done
