Data Types and Data Objects

Data types in ABAP/4 are classified by definition as either predefined or user-defined.

The names of the predefined data types are fixed. The names of the user-defined data types are defined by the programmer in the program.

The TYPES statement does NOT create a new data object or variable, it specifies a new type that can be used in creating a data object or variable.
