Documentation

Structure

A structure (structured type) consists of components (fields) whose types are defined.

A component can have an elementary type, a structured type, a table type or a reference type.

Structures are used especially to define the data at the interface of module pools and screens and to define the types of function module parameters.

Structures that are used more than once can be changed centrally because they were defined centrall. The active ABAP Dictionary makes this change at all relevant locations. ABAP programs or screen templates that use a structure are automatically adjusted when the structure changes.
