ABAP SUBTRACT-CORRESPONDING Statement syntax, information and example SAP source code

SUBTRACT-CORRESPONDING

Short Reference

ABAP Syntax(Obsolete) SUBTRACT-CORRESPONDING struc1 FROM struc2.

What does it do? This statement is not allowed in classes and subtracts structures by component. Structures must be specified for struc1 and struc2 . For all identically named components in struc1
and struc2 , the component in struc1 is subtracted in pairs from the component in struc2 and the result is assigned to the relevant component of struc2 .
The names are compared, as in the statement MOVE-CORRESPONDING . For each component pair with the same name comp , the statement
SUBTRACT struc1-comp FROM 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.
