Type Any means

Variable is of Any data type (suitable for any type)

The generic type any currently has the same effect in typing as the generic type data.

DATA: my_data TYPE REF TO data.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.

ASSIGN my_data TO <fs>.

<b>TYPE ANY</b> can only be used for Field-Symbols...And means that the field symbols can accept any type of data...A String, an Internal Table...

Hi Blag,

<b>TYPE ANY</b> can be used for <b>much more than</b> Field-Symbols

as already explained: ANY (like i.e. ANY TABLE) is a generic type. An existing data object always has a 'real' type.

You can use type any for all typed objects except DATA. This includes the typing of (function, method, FORM) parameters, TYPE declarations and also last not least field-symbols
