earlier one is used to define customized type... the late one is to use standard data type available...

Hi,

In first type statement "A structure is made in which the fields are directly attached to the data element"

In second statement "A table is created of the above defined structure with default key as the first field of the table".

Hi Sivanantham,

TYPES: BEGIN OF mytext,

number TYPE i,

name(10) TYPE c,

END OF mytext.

This defines a structure with two fields.

TYPES mytab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mytext WITH DEFAULT KEY.

This creates a table for the above defined structure.

Hope it helps.

Hi Siva,

TYPES: BEGIN OF mytext,

number TYPE i,

name(10) TYPE c,

END OF mytext.

TYPES mytab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mytext WITH DEFAULT KEY.

The fiirst one is a structure with two fields namely number and name

The other one is an internal table with the type of the structure and the first field as the key.

Pls reward if useful.

THanks,

Sirisha.
