Move statement

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am working in ECC 6.0 . Actually i have my declarations like below :

data : itab1 like table of zabc with header line.

data : itab2 like table of zabc1 with header line.

here zabc is a table having more than 20 numc fields.

zabc1 is again a table with 1 numc fields.

and we are moving the tables as

move itab1 to itab.

but its giving unicode error.

Hi

Try using Move corresponding

Thanks

Hello ,

Use explicit move to the corresponding fields.

i.e move : itab1-field1 to itab-field1.

Hope this will solve ur problem.

Let me know if not .

Hi

Use

Itab = Itab1.

Hi,

Try to transfer all fileds in ur internal table from numc field to char field, and then use the MOVE statement.

According To SAP:

In Unicode programs the following rules apply:

If the work area or the line of the internal table is a structure, the system also checks whether the fragment views of the work area and the database table are identical with regard to the length of the database table.

If the work area is a single field, the field must be character-type and the database table purely character-type. These requirements are valid for all statements listed above.

data : itab2 like table of zabc1 with header line.

move corresponding fields of itab1 to itab.

Hi Satish,

When ever we use the Move Stmt, the field or structure to which we are passing the values should be a Char Type .

Avoid using the move stmt & try with assignment '='

Or else make the fields of the ITAB into char Type.

Hi Satish..

If u use only move statement it will simply map the first field of the source table

with the first field of the target table.....second field to second field and likewise

It does not really checks whether the fields are of similar datatypes or eeven they are compatible or not..thats the reason u r getting the error.

But if u use move corresponding it checks for the particular field in the target table and then assigns...but again it consumes a lot of runtime and becomes a performance issue.

It is best suggested to use Move ITAB1-name to ITAB2-name.

It definitely solves your purpose.

Reward points if helpful.
