Two internal tables with different structures

Question

Hi Experts,
I Have two internal tables.
Table 1 structure:
Name
Age
Table 2 structure :
Name
age
branch
Now the table 1 has some 5 data's and table 2 is empty.
First i want to move that 5 data's from table 1 to table 2.
Then the branch field is same for all records. its stored in a separate field called 'Branch'.
finallay i need to move that branch to internal table 2 for all records.
So the Table 2 should has five records and each record should have the branch.Its like,
Name  Age Branch
name1 10  ECE
name2 10  ECE
I didnt use with header line for both tables. In function module i declared as table parameter.
Please give me a logic.
Helps will be appreciated.

Since the structure of yur both internal table is different so you can't use ITAB1[] = ITAB2[] statements.
In this  case you have to  loop on first table then move data into second table and appned data into second table.
Declare work area for both table with like line of statement as follows
data: wa_itab1 like line of itab1,
          wa_itab2 like line of itab2.
Loop at ita1 into wa_itab1.
wa_itab2-name = wa_itab1-name.
wa_itab2-age = wa_itab1-age.
wa_itab2-branch = 'ECE'.
append wa_itab to itab2.
clear wa_itab1, wa_itab2.
endloop.
Hope this will solve your problem.
