Table Type -- Urgent

Former Member — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 11:22:56 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what is the advantage in using a table type in a function module as exporting or importing parameter instead of declaring in Tables tab.

Regards

Jiku

Hi,

TABLE TYPE is used to create an internal table, which can be used globally by all programs.

You can create TABLE TYPE in SE11 (Data Dictionary).

Hi Jiku,

If use a SAP defined table type then u r sticking to the standard and it will not be effected after the system is upgraded. But if you use user defined table type then it will create problem during upgradation.
