Hi,

Append:

itab1 | itab2

1 | a

2 | b

3 | c

new | a

Collect:

itab1 | itab2

1 | a

2 | b

3 | c

new | <----- this record will not come.

collect will add up the values basedon the same keys

Append will just append as if as new row.

Thanks,

Deepak.

Hi,

If you append it will append all fields respective all the values in the row are same or not.

With append if any

col1 | col 2

A | 1

B | 2

A | 2

With collect statement the output will be :

Col1 | Col 2

A | 3

B | 2.

It will add up the integers 1 and 2 coz, A is common for these two rows.

Thanks,

Sri

In your case with this data.. both append and collect will hhave the same 4

records.

Collect will consolidate the numeric fields based on the unique ness of the remanining fields.. for example say

fld1 fld 2

a 1

b 2

c 3

b 4

with above data..

collect will hhave a 1,b 6 and c 3 where as append will have all the four records.
