You can define data types in a type group in the ABAP/4 Dictionary instead of defining them within an ABAP/4 program.
The type group name in the ABAP/4 Dictionary has a maximum of 5 characters. Type names within type group <typepool> must begin with <typepool> followed by an underscore.
The name typepool must match the name in the ABAP/4 Dictionary . You can only define types and constants in type groups. .
EG:
TYPE-POOL ABCDE.
TYPES: ABCDE_PACKED TYPE P,
ABCDE_INT TYPE I.
reward if useful...
Give me explanation on typegroup??

<u><b>Type Group</b></u> is the group where data types and constants <i>created by user</i> is stored in ABAP dictionary. They are used in programming when different data types or constants of similar kind are used at once. <b>TYPE-POOLS</b> is the key word used to access the Type Group from ABAP program.
This is done to avoid redundancy. Similar type of type groups can be reused in different programs.
