Definition

The data class describes the data format at the user interface.

If a table field or structure field or a data element is used in an ABAP program, the data class is converted to a format used by the ABAP processor. When a table is created in the database, the data class of a table field is converted to a corresponding data format of the database system used.

You can find a detailed description of the data classes allowed in the ABAP Dictionary in Overview of the Data Classes.
