Hi,

Use Data Element ALVSTLI or ALPFSTRING to create a field of type STRING in the structure - In case you want to create a structure in the Data dictionary.

For creating a Structure in a program.

Use:

TYPES:

begin of ty_struc,

field1 type string,

field2 type c,

field3 type i,

End of ty_struc.

data: itab type table of ty_struc.

data: wa type ty_struc.

Cheers!!!

Yes, you can.



Types: begin of struct,
       fld1(10) type c,
       flds type string,
       end of struct.
data: itab type table of struct.
data: wa like line of itab.

Basically it is the same for defining structures and table types in the ABAP dictionary. Check out table type STRING_TABLE
