Definition

This indicator describest the type of the used routine. It has the following possible values:

"F"

The routine is a form routine.

"M"

The routine is a macro.

As a macro call consists simply in specifying the macro name in the program coding, this type of function can also be used to include any kind of program coding in the generated program.

"O"

The routin is a method of an ABAP object.

"U"

The routine is a funtion module.

"V"

No routine, but a direct specification of a value. It does not make sense to use this type for process-related routines. The value which is assigned to the field which is to be converted has to be specified as a parameter.
