Hi,

I prefer defining data elements, structures and table types. These types can easily be analysed dynamically in an ABAP program so they provide a higher flexibility. Also you can add (SapScript) Documentation.

You can define a type-group in SE80 - Other Object - Data Dictionary - Type Group.

Hello,

You can also define your type group in SE11 by choosing the radio button Type Group.

Use a class. That way you not only get the structures you need, but you can also write the ABAP to handle them.

Hi,

You can create type group in se11. Give a custom name ( 'z' name ) for the type group. Hey and the name of the type group can contain a maximum of 5 characters.Make sure all components in your type group start with the name of your type group. For example , name of your type group is 'ztype' then every components of your type group should begin with 'ztype_'.

Thankyou,
