Definition

Data element

A data element (elementary type) describes the technical attributes and the contents of a table or structure field. Fields with the same contents refer to the same data element.

A data element is a type and can be referenced in ABAP programs with TYPE. For example, variables taking on the type attributes of a data element can be defined in an ABAP program.

The type attributes of a data element (built-in data type in the ABAP Dictionary, field length and possibly decimal places) are copied from the domain of the data element.

Please note the following input conventions:

char

All characters (apart from those mentioned below) stand for themselves, with no distinction made between upper and lower case. Upper and lower case are distinguished in text fields, such as short descriptions.

*

denotes any character string.

+

denotes exactly one character.

<>

denotes negation (applies if the specified character string does not match).

$

tests for a blank field (entering <>$ means that the system searches for all fields containing at least one character).

>

greater than.

<

less than.

&

logical AND (intersection), followed by the next character string without blanks.

or/

logical OR (union), followed by the next character string without blanks.

Priority starts at the top, i.e. & is evaluated before , but after *.
