Definition

The row type of a table type defines the structure of the rows in an internal table of this type. It can either be copied from an existing type or entered directly.

The following row types are possible:

• Specification of a data element
  The defined table has unstructured lines that have the attributes (data type, number of places, decimal places, etc.) of the given data element (elementary type).
  
• Specification of a structure (table view)
  The rows of the table thus defined are structured to correspond to the definition of the given structure (structured type). The components of the table row have the attributes (such as data type, number of places) of the components in the structure.
  A database table or view always has a structure and is therefore implicitly a structured type. Tables and views can thus be used as the row type of a table type.
  
• Specification of a table type
  The rows of the table thus defined are also tables that are built corresponding to the specified table type.
• Definition of the row type through direct type specification
  Data type, number of places, and, if required, decimal places are entered directly. In this way, you define a table with unstructured rows.
  
• Define a reference type
  Here you define a table whose rows have the specified reference type.

If the type of the table row is defined with a direct type definition, the name of the row type is initial.
