Hello,

You may use like the following:

PARAMETERS: p_name type c default 'C'.

data: char1 like p_name.

Thanks,

Hi Chao Liu,

u can not do it in that way...

but u can do below things...


types : p_type_name type c.

paramters: p_type_name1 type p_type_name default 'C'.

data: char1 type p_type_name.

Also use Tcode ABAPHELP and enter TYPE in the popup window and see the documentation for it...

Hope it will solve ur doubt

Reward points if useful...

Hi,

You can do like this also.

DATA:t_name TYPE c.

PARAMETERS: p_type LIKE t_name DEFAULT 'C'.

DATA: char1 LIKE p_type.

Reward points if helpful.

Hi,

You can do this using CREATE DATA syntax.

Example:

data: p_type type c value 'C'.

data: obj type ref to data.

field-symbols: <fs> type any.

create data obj type (p_type). "defining type dynamically

assign obj->* to <Fs>.

<fs> = 'Z'.

write: <fs>.

Thanks and regards,

hi,

use the following way

parameters: p_type_n type c default 'C'.

data: char1 like p_type_n value 'A'.

write char1.

o/p A
