Copy field from internal table using For

[deepak_h3]

I have a itab with 3 fields - field1, field2, field3

I want to copy only field 3 into another Itab2 with different structure.

Also i want to set same value in the other fields of itab2.

Can I do something as below - I tried but it did not work ? Is it possible ?

DATA(gt_itab2) = VALUE #( Field1 = 'A' Field2 = 'B' FOR ls_itab1 IN gt_itab1 ( ls_itab1–field3 ) ).

Could you reformulate

• Your first itab has fields Field1-3, and you want to copy field D
• Your second itab has another structure, but you map the same fields than defined in the first table

Please refer to below code. It is passing FIELD1 of LT_DATA1 to all 3 fields in LT_DATA2. You can map any fields you like from LT_DATA1 to LT_DATA2. The end result of below code will look like

FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3

A A A

D D D

G G G

TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_W_DATA,
         FIELD1 TYPE STRING,
         FIELD2 TYPE STRING,
         FIELD3 TYPE STRING,
       END OF TY_W_DATA.

TYPES: TY_T_DATA1 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_W_DATA,
       TY_T_DATA2 TYPE SORTED TABLE OF TY_W_DATA
                  WITH NON-UNIQUE KEY
                    FIELD1
                    FIELD2
                    FIELD3.


START-OF-SELECTION.

  DATA:LT_DATA1 TYPE TY_T_DATA1,
       LT_DATA2 TYPE TY_T_DATA2.

  LT_DATA1 = VALUE #( ( FIELD1 = 'A' FIELD2 = 'B' FIELD3 = 'C'  )
                      ( FIELD1 = 'D' FIELD2 = 'E' FIELD3 = 'F'  )
                      ( FIELD1 = 'G' FIELD2 = 'H' FIELD3 = 'I'  ) ).

  LT_DATA2 = VALUE TY_T_DATA2( FOR LW_DATA1 IN LT_DATA1
                                   (  FIELD1    = LW_DATA1-FIELD1
                                      FIELD2    = LW_DATA1-FIELD1
                                      FIELD3    = LW_DATA1-FIELD1
                                             ) ).

Thank you, can use it with some tweak. Maybe not clear from my question. I wanted the field1 and field 2 in target to be different.
