If A is a Table type,

and you say data: itab type A. then itab is an internal table.

If B is a Line type, and you say itab type B. Then itab is a structure .

If CXX is a Structure, and you say itab type CXX, then itab is a structure.

and itab type line of A = itab type CXX = itab like line of A.

hi,

in the case of table type.

we will get an internal table.

In the case of line type we

will get a structure.

structure means a skelton.

it has no mememory space.

whn a structure is included in an internal table,

thn only it will hold a memory.

Table is for contents( container for data- you can store data )

Structure is only the field names (you can not store data)

Hello,

Case 1:

=======

In SE11 you can create table type.

This table type is similar to tables, but not the same way as you create tables. You can create table type with either Line type ( Nothing but a structure), Built-in ABAP types or Reference type. Assume that we have created one table type TYTAB with line type LITYP.

So when you declare like this,

DATA: ITAB type TYTAB - Now ITAB acts as a internal table of type TYTAB.

DATA: LS_TYP TYPE LITYP - This LS_TYP now acts as a structure.

So, it is clear that linetype and structure are one and the same.
