The Types that you create in the SE11 those are global and they can be accessed by any application.

But when you declare a type inside a structure then it is local to the program that you have defined

when you have a situtation where you will use the TYPE in many programs then it is a good idea to define it in a SE11

and when you have very less use or if you are using once in a program then go for a STRUCTURE

Hi,

The structure we define in SE11 is Global.

The structure we define with type is local to the Program.

hiii

when you create a structure using SE11 it will be global and one more advantage is we can append it to any table for using that fields.

while by creating in program we create a local structure and can be accesed in that program only.

hi check this...

the use of the structure is reusability if you declare in the se11 then it can be accessed by programs ,function modules ...

Visibility-> SE11 structures visible Globally, Reusable

But when you take program Structures then it is local. But Try to avoid creating the Custom Dictionary Objects, if unavoidable situation we can proceed with SE11.

If we create a structure in a program, Only that program has access to that structure and no other program can use it (no reusability).

But, If you are creating a strucutre in the ABAP Dictionary, It can be accessed by any program and is available globally (reusable).
