2) DATA di. Means by default di consider as a character variable with default length 1.

Hi,

SPACE: ABAP Keyword, which is equal to blank.

DATA di.: This specifies 'di' as a variable of character type with size 1 char.

this is similar to the following declaration:

DATA: di(1) type c.

SPACE is ABAP Key word.

used to place space when ever required.

in case of concatenate two strings if we need space between then we can use separated by space.

DATA: v_var1.

dy default it will take v_var1 as character datatype with length 1 character.

Hi,

SAPCE is a sap predefined keyword used to set blank line.

DATA DI. is used for data declaration.

it is one character in length by default.

suppose if you want to create any check box it contains only one character means if the check box selects it is true else false. in this cases we will go for data di for performance.
