TYPES - implicit

Short Reference

ABAP Syntax(Obsolete)TYPES { dtype }
| { dtype(len) }
| { dtype LENGTH len }
| { dtype TYPE c|n|p|x }
| { dtype(len) TYPE p}
| { dtype TYPE p LENGTH len}
| { dtype TYPE p DECIMALS dec}.

What does it do? Obsolete short forms of the statement TYPES with reference to a predefined elementary type abap_type. If TYPE abap_type is not specified, the type is set implicitly to the standard type c. If len or dec is not specified for the ABAP types c , n, p, and x, the length is set to the type-compliant standard length. No decimal places are set for p. This is only permitted outside of classes or interfaces.



Latest notes:All additions should be specified in full, to make them
