how to collect an internal table in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am eager to know, is there a way in ABAP to collect an internal table lines into another itab without looping over the lines of the source itab.

I just want to make sure I am not missing something.

thanks.

Hi Ahment,

You can do this like this:

x_int_table_1[] = x_int_table_2[].

This will copy all the lines of x_int_table_2 to x_int_table_1.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Also u can use INSERT LINES OF ITAB1 to ITAB2

See this link

Hi,

This link explains the COLLECT with example.

http://www.sts.tu-harburg.de/teaching/sap_r3/ABAP4/collect.htm

But if you just want to move the lines,you can do so by

APPEND lines of itab1 to itab2.

Hi Ahmet,

If you are talking about using the COLLECT keyword, then you will have to loop at the source table.

But if you have used the word <i>collect</i> as a normal verb, then Brad's answer is the best.
