move-corresponding itab1 to itab2

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

is it possible for a move-corresponding to transfer all entries of itab1 to itab2 by just using this code:

move-corresponding itab1 to itab2????

or move-corresponding is only for one entry? thanks a lot!

always,

mark

Hi

Try Using

itab1 [ ] = itab2 [ ]

if you want to copy the whole internal table to second table

Regards,

Nikhil

Hi

Move-corresponding: transfer the data from a structure to another one in according to the name of the fields.

move-corresponding itab1 to itab2

So u can use above code to move all data from one internaltable to other internal table

U can also use

itab1[] =  itab2[]

Hi Mark,

Yes it is possible! but make sure that the availble fields is the same as you pass the data to another table. Try using itab1[] = itab2[] , it is much faster than the syntax move-corresponding . Be sure to have the same format of the itab.

syntax : move-corresponding itab1 to itab2

this syntax is most faster : itab2[ ] = itab1[ ].

Hi,

Move-corresponding will move all the fields from one internal table to another.

So to transfer all entries into another internal table we can have move-corresponding itab1 to itab2.

or u can use itab1[ ] = itab2[ ].

If we take into account the performance the itab1[] = itab2 is much faster than move-corresponding, as move-corresponding has the bottle neck to search all fields of similar name.

Hope this helps you,

Thanks,

Dhanashri.

Hi

Hi

Move: transfer the data from a structure to another one in according to the length of original structure;

Move-corresponding: transfer the data from a structure to another one in according to the name of the fields, so in your case:

data: begin of t_cash, "cash transactions

D1(08), "Post Date

D2(40), "Employee Name

D3(40), "Employee Vendor Id

end of t_cash.

data: begin of t_card, "card transactions

D1(08), "Post Date

D2(40), "Employee Name

D4(25), "Merchant Name

end of t_card.

If you use MOVE, u shoudl consider T_CARD is shorter than T_CASH: the last field D4 is long 25 CHAR, but the last field D3 is long 40 char. So u'll loose the last 15 digit of T_CASH

MOVE T_CASH TO T_CARD.

is like

T_CARD = T_CASH(73).

If you use MOVE-CORRESPONDING, u'll transfer only the information of the field D1 and D2:

MOVE-CORRESPONDING T_CASH TO T_CARD.

is like

T_CARD-D1 = T_CASH-D1.

T_CARD-D2 = T_CASH-D2.

Now the problem is ECC 6.00 is unicode release, so the statament MOVE-CORRESPONDING can't be used if the original and destination variable have a different structure.

Hi,

You can use statments below :

append lines of itab1 to itab2.

OR

itab2 [  ]  = itab1 [  ].

Use above for better performance.
