Internal Tables in Release 7.40, SP05
1. MOVE-CORRESPONDING for internal tables
Other versions:
7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Modification 1
MOVE-CORRESPONDING for Internal Tables
From Release 7.40, SP05, the operands of the statement
MOVE-CORRESPONDING can be internal tables, as well as structures. This has been enabled by a new
variant of this statement, which assigns
identically named components of internal tables row by row. The new addition EXPANDING
NESTED TABLES enables tabular components of structures to be resolved. The addition KEEPING TARGET LINES adds rows to target tables instead of overwriting them.
Component by component assignments between internal tables are also possible using the new component
operator CORRESPONDING.
Modification 2
Table Comprehensions
Table comprehensions are an enhancement of the
instance operator NEW or the
value operator
VALUE and are used to create the content of internal tables. One or more
FOR expressions can now be
specified as subexpressions of the constructor expression. These FOR expressions evaluate existing internal tables whose content can be used to construct the result within the loops.
