    It relies on the size of your itabs. I will assume you want not to loop the first one (because is the biggest).

    LOOP AT itab2 INTO wa.
  DELETE TABLE itab1 FROM wa.
ENDLOOP.

    If your itab2 doesn't contain zillion rows, it will be fast enough to not be painful.

    Kannan,

    As both the tables are having the same strcuture take one more internal table itab3 and move the data in itab1 and itab2 to itab3.

    Now itab3 will have the data from both the itab1 and itab2.

    Now delete the adjacent duplicates from itab3.

    hi Kannan,

    why without LOOPing? I guess you have to LOOP at least on one of the internal tables.
