Definition

Table type

A table type is a type that describes the structure and functions of an internal table in the ABAP program. It can be used in the ABAP program analogously to types that are predefined in the ABAP program or defined directly in the ABAP program to define data objects and types.

Table types can be used in the ABAP Dictionary to define structures (structured types) and other table types:

  • A component of a structure can have a table type as type. This defines a structured type with a component that is a table.
  • A table type can be used as the row type of another table type. This defines a table of tables.

A table type describes the following attributes of an internal table:

  • The structure and data type attributes of the table row are defined by the row type.
  • The key definition describes the structure of the table key.
  • The key category defines whether the key is unique, that is if all the records of the table have different key values.
  • The access mode defines how the table is accessed and how its records are managed internally.

A special form of these general table types are the ranges table types.
