No you can not create a table not referring to data element. Because when you add any field to table, it will ask you for data element for that field. If you do not give any data element for a field, it will give you syntax error.

But anji, Char20 itself a data element. If you dauble click "CHAR 20"....it will open the data element screen where you will see that char20 is a data element and all the characteristics of data element "char20" there including domain, field level etc.

user defined data types like CHAR 20 is itself a data element.

If you try it SE11 then everything will be clear.

when u click on the Predefined Type the fields Data Type and Length get input enabled. Choose the datatype of ur choice and select the length accordingly.

Don't give the value as CHAR20 and double click on it.

I click for the f4 help of a predefined type "/1SAP1/CL_ACH0001" or any other such as int2. I save it, now when i double click it (/1SAP1/CL_ACH0001) or open it ("/1SAP1/CL_ACH0001) in SE11 data element, i clearly see the predefined type as a data element.

Now plz give me a example of a Predefined Type which is not a data element means and which i can not open in SE11 -> Data element.

I have tryed the same and got the following errors:

Key field ZABT has unpermitted type

Field ZABT: Component type or domain used not active or does not exist

i dont know why i tryed them. If they are not data element then how could i put them as data element for a field when creating a table. Have you ever tryed to create a table without mentioning a data element or just arguing????
