ST_DATA is a structure of type ty_data.

ST_DATA will have all the fields lifnr, bukrs, ekorg, ktokk, name1 etc at runtime & it will store single record at runtime.

ST_DATA is nothing but Work area.

Hi,

You are creating a <b>USER-DEFINED</b> Data type, which will not be stored in DDIC, and will only be avilable in the program you have defined it.

ty_data is a user defined data type visible only in the program it is defined.

Hi pandurangarao,

"Types" means we are specifying a structure only.

we need to declare variables based on this type inorder to use that type.

That is this statement "st_data TYPE ty_data".

You can also create internal tables with this type like

"data st_data TYPE standard table of ty_data"
