ABAP_DESCRIPTION Two structures, struct1 and struct2 are declared using the available additions and MOVE-CORRESPONDING assigns struct1 to struct2.
struct1 contains two elementary components, col1 and col2, and a tabular component col3 with the components col1 and col2.
struct2 contains two elementary components, col2 and col4, and a tabular component col3 with the components col2 and col3. The structures are filled with values. For the output, the structured components are resolved to elementary components of an output table, output. The statement MOVE-CORRESPONDING finds the identically named components col2 and col3 in struct1 and struct2 and the assignments work as follows:
MOVE-CORRESPONDING After the assignment, the components col2 and col3 in struct2 have the same content as in struct1. Component col4 keeps its value.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING EXPANDING NESTED TABLES After the assignment, the component col2 in struct2 has the same content as in struc1. col4 preserves its value. The tabular component col3 is resolved and the identically named component col2 is found there. The original content of struct2-col3 is deleted. After the assignment, the column col2 has the same content as in struct1-col3, whereas the column col3 remains initial.
