ABAP MULTIPLY-CORRESPONDING Statement syntax, information and example SAP source code
MULTIPLY-CORRESPONDING
Short Reference
ABAP Syntax(Obsolete) MULTIPLY-CORRESPONDING struc1 BY struc2.
What does it do? This statement, which is forbidden in classes, multiplies structures in terms of components. Structures must be specified for
struc1 and struc2 . All components with the same name in
struc1 and struc2 are multiplied with each other in pairs and the result is assigned to the appropriate component of struc1 .
The names are compared, as in the statement MOVE-CORRESPONDING . For each component pair with the same name comp , the statement
MULTIPLY struc1-comp BY struc2-comp.
is executed, and the appropriate conversions are performed, if necessary.
Latest notes: This statement is error-prone because, particularly in complex structures, it is not easy to check that components of the same name have the data type and content necessary for a numeric operation.
