DIVIDE-CORRESPONDING (ABAP Keyword) introduction & syntax details
DIVIDE-CORRESPONDING
Basic
form
DIVIDE-CORRESPONDING rec1 BY rec2.
Effect
Interprets rec1 and
rec2 as field strings, i.e. if rec1 and rec2 are tables with header lines, the
statement is executed for their header lines.
Searches for all sub-fields
that occur both in rec1 and rec2 and then generates, for all field pairs
corresponding to the sub-fields ni , statements similar in the following
form:
DIVIDE rec1-ni BY rec2-ni.
The other fields remain
unchanged.
With more complex structures, the complete names of the field
pairs must be identical.
Example
DATA: BEGIN OF
MONEY,
VALUE_IN(20) VALUE ‘German marks’.
USA TYPE I VALUE 100,

DESCRIPTION(30)

DIVIDE-CORRESPONDING MONEY BY CHANGE.
