hi,

check this.

data : begin of itab1 occurs 0. "itab with work area.
key_field1 like ztable1-key_field1,
field1 like ztable1-field1,
field2 like ztable1-field2,
endof itab1. 

data : begin of itab2 occurs 0. "itab with work area.
key_field2 like ztable2-key_field2,
field3 like ztable2-field3,
field4 like ztable2-field4,
endof itab2. 

data : begin of itab_final occurs 0.
key_field1 like ztable1-key_field1,
field1 like ztable1-field1,
field2 like ztable1-field2,
field3 like ztable2-field3,
field4 like ztable2-field4,
endof itab_final. 


put the date final(merged) internal table
*****************************************
1. loop at itab1.
read table itab2 with key keyfield2 = itab1-keyfield1.
if sy-surc = 0.
itab_final-key_field1 = itab1-keyfield1
itab_final-field1 = itab1-field1.
itab_final-field2 = itab1-keyfield2.
itab_final-field3 = itab2-field2.
itab_final-field4 = itab2-keyfield2.
append itab_final.
clear itab_final.
endif.
endloop.


or


LOOP AT ITAB1.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING TO ITAB1 to ITAB_FINAL.
READ TABLE ITAB2 WITH KEY FILED1 = ITAB1-FIELD1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING TO ITAB2 to ITAB_FINAL.
endif,
READ TABLE ITAB3 WITH KEY FILED1 = ITAB1-FIELD1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING TO ITAB2 to ITAB_FINAL.
endif,
append itab_final.
clear itab_final.
endloop

There are no comman fields between them.

[athavanraja]

if there are no common fields how do you want to merge, rec 1 in itab1 with rec 1 in itab 2?

in that case change the read itab2 statement to use index.

read table itab2 index sy-index .

correction it should be sy-tabix and not sy-index .
