Hi Prajwal,

REF TO is mostly used with ABAP OO.

It is used to create the reference objects for classes and methods.

Hi

type ref to used mostly for declaring classes.

You can not declare

DATA: l_grid type cl_gui_alv_grid.

you need to give it as

DATA: l_grid type ref to cl_gui_alv_grid.

Hi Prajawal,

type ref to is to create a instance variable of a class. its into Object oriented terms.

type is used in normal abal code to declare a variable of the specified type.
