Move or write to not doing conversion routine

[Former Member]

I have two types of a file structure

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_est_archivo,
mandt TYPE mandt,
bukrs TYPE bukrs,
gjahr TYPE gjahr,
monat TYPE monat,
xblnr(20),
nacem(16),
ctasc(10),
transact_number TYPE cjtransnumb,
transact_name(30),
mwskz TYPE mwskz,
cbase TYPE BBPRU,
cimpu TYPE BBPRU,
END OF ty_est_archivo.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_est_archivo2,
mandt TYPE mandt,
bukrs TYPE bukrs,
gjahr TYPE gjahr,
monat TYPE monat,
xblnr(20),
nacem(16),
ctasc(10),
transact_number TYPE cjtransnumb,
transact_name(30),
mwskz TYPE mwskz,
cbase(13),
cimpu(13),
END OF ty_est_archivo2.

I have to write into a text file, the user asked for no separators so the columns must always be the same size, so using write to... with the first table was impossible, instead I made the TYPE P fields, character type to have a fixed lenght.

The table I_restrc is being filled perfectly, but something wrong happens when I move it to the other structure

    DATA  l_archivo  TYPE string.
    DATA: w_archivo  TYPE ty_linea_arch,
          w_estruct  TYPE ty_est_archivo,
          w_estruct2 TYPE ty_est_archivo2.

LOOP AT i_restrct INTO w_estruct.
      MOVE w_estruct to w_estruct2.
      WRITE w_estruct2 TO w_archivo.
      APPEND w_archivo TO i_archivo.
    ENDLOOP.

The strings cbase and cimpu are not filled, when I move w_estruct to w_estruct2 cimpu is empty and cbase is filled with special characters.

I solved this doing...

LOOP AT i_restrct INTO w_estruct.
      MOVE w_estruct to w_estruct2.
      MOVE w_estruct-cbase TO w_estruct2-cbase.
      MOVE w_estruct-cimpu TO w_estruct2-cimpu.
      WRITE w_estruct2-cimpu TO w_estruct2-cimpu RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
      WRITE w_estruct2 TO w_archivo.
      APPEND w_archivo TO i_archivo.
    ENDLOOP.

When I make an explicit move, the conversion is done.

Is this the way it should be done? Or is some kind of bug?

BBPRU TYPE is a Signed Currency Field, maybe thats the reason we get this problem..

Try also replacing

MOVE w_estruct to w_estruct2

by

MOVE-CORRESPONDING w_estruct to w_estruct2

Thanks, I changed the code to

    LOOP AT i_restrct INTO w_estruct.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING w_estruct to w_estruct2.
      WRITE w_estruct2-cimpu TO w_estruct2-cimpu RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.
      WRITE w_estruct2 TO w_archivo.
      APPEND w_archivo TO i_archivo.
    ENDLOOP.

And is working, I think it's better than nothing.

I also tried

    LOOP AT i_restrct INTO w_estruct2.

Also producing the strange characters
