Hi,

u can read like this

itab_mara-matnr.

itab_matnr-ersda.

loop at itab_matnr.

write 😕 itab_matnr-matnr, itab_matnr-ersda.

or if u want to transfer

move :itab_matnr-matnr to itab1_matnr-matnr.

endloop.

Hi harshit,

Kindly check...

field-symbols: <column> type any.

data: w_name type string.

loop at itab.

do.

assign component sy-index of structure itab to <column>.

if sy-subrc = 0.

// getting the fieldname in w_name

w_name = <column>.

else.

exit.

endif.

enddo.

endloop.

Hi ,

you can get the attributes of any internal table into another ..

check the following code ..

DATA : it_mara TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mara  WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA : it_detail   TYPE abap_compdescr_tab,
           wa_comp TYPE abap_compdescr.

DATA : ref_descr TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr.

ref_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( it_mara ).
it_detail[] = ref_descr->components .

loop at it_detail into wa_comp.
write:/ wa_comp-name .
endloop.
