Types stmnt define type .its like creating a type. It doesn't create any data object.you can create data objects of this types once defined , by using data stmnt.

DATA stmnt create a data object which can able to hold data.

Hi Salil,

The first format is for creating a structure and the second format is used for creating an internal table without header line.

Hi,

TYPES: system didn't allocate any memory for this. this is a data type and will be used to reference any data declaration.

TYPES: begin of itab_type
       abc(10),
       end of itab_type.

data: itab_actual type itab_type.

DATA: declares actual data and system allocate memory for this variable.

Wasim Ahmed

Hi,

Types is used to define your customised type.

You can then create data structures or tables giving simply the type defination.

However,

Data is used to create data type which can directly be assigned a value.

Hope that helps.

Tanveer.
