What is the type group in SAP ABAP? |
|
Answer» A type group is an ABAP Dictionary-managed ABAP program that is initiated by the TYPE-POOL statement and that consists of ABAP statements that define globally visible constants, data types, and macros. A type group and its constants, data types, and macros do not have semantic attributes excluding short text and any comments in the source CODE. The type group name can have only five CHARACTERS, MUST begin with a LETTER, and can have numbers or letters or underscores. For example, one type group frequently used in the ABAP program is ABAP itself, which consists of multiple low-level constants and types. The disadvantage of this group is loading the entire type group is necessary, even if only a few constants and types are REQUIRED. |
