Checking Internal Tables
The operator EXACT
checks a table specified as an argument row-by-row against the
table-like row type:
If the row types are elementary, each row is checked for
elementary data objects .
If the row types are structured, each row is checked for
structures .
If the row types are table-like, the check described here is performed.
If the inner table is a table with an elementary row type, the row types
must be compatible.
The table category and the
table key are ignored by the check.
If the check raises an exception due to an invalid value or loss of
values, the target table is filled with all rows assigned up to that
point.
Notes
If an internal table with elementary row type is converted, this row
type does not have to be compatible with the target row type. It only
needs to be convertible according to the conditions of EXACT . If
an internal table with elementary row type is converted that occurs as
an inner table of another table, it is handled like a structure
components and the row types must be compatible.
If internal tables are converted using the operator EXACT , only
internal tables with elementary row type can raise an exception.
