Create Data And Create Object

[former_member244474]

I am pretty new to ABAP and was wondering what is the technical difference between these 2.

Also what is the significance of field symbols! I mean they are just placeholders which can hold any derefrenced data. The same thing could be done by declaring a variable by the same type too! Why ABAP bothered to have this keyword?

Thanks & Regards
