Answer 1

Hi there
Lets say you have 2 records in tbl_tab1 and you want to put the records into another internal table say tbl_tab2.For this:
1. Define work areas for both the internal tables . lets say they are wa_tab1 which is of the same type as tbl_tab1 and wa_tab2 which is of the same type as tbl_tab2.
DATA: wa_tab1 like line of tbl_tab1,
           wa_tab2 like line of tbl_tab2.
2. Now if you have a specific key in tbl_tab1 and you want to read a particular record with some condition then u can simply read table tbl_tab1 into the work area and then whichever fields you want to copy into wa_tab2 you can and simpyl append this to tbl_tab2.
READ TABLE tbl_tab1 into wa_tab1 with key field 1 = 'X'.
wa_tab2-field1 = wa_tab1-field1.
append wa_tab2 to tbl_tab2.
This will append a particular record to tbl_tab2.
X is some value for field1 which you want to read.
3.if you want to move both the records to tbl_tab2 then simply loop through this table.
loop at tbl_tab1 into wa_tab1.
wa_tab2-field1 = wa_tab1-field1.
append wa_tab2 to tbl_tab2.
endloop.
Both your records will get appended to tbl_tab2.
Hope this helps.
