hi sirisha,

Line Type

The line type of an internal table can be any data type. The data type of an internal table is normally a structure. Each component of the structure is a column in the internal table. However, the line type may also be elementary or another internal table.

For the line type linetype, you can specify:

Any data type if you are using the TYPE addition. This can be a predefined ABAP type, a local type in the program, or a data type from the ABAP Dictionary. If you specify any of the generic elementary types c, n, p and x , any attributes that you fail to specify (field length, number of decimal places) are automatically filled with the default values. You cannot specify any other generic types.

Any data object recognized within the program at that point if you are using the LIKE addition. The line type adopts the fully-specified data type of the data object to which you refer. Except for within classes, you can still use the LIKE addition to refer to database tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary (for compatibility reasons).

All of the lines in the internal table have the fully-specified technical attributes of the specified data type.

line type refers to the structure of an internal table,whereas row type is the actual part that contains the data and it refers to the table body.creating internal table using line type and row type concept is for reusability purpose.Line type and Row type are defined at DDIC LEVEL.
