Hi,

Table Type as you know is an internal table crated in the DDIC.

It differs from structure as it can hold multiple records

And from database table as it contains data only during runtime.

As far as I know

table type can be used while craeting FMs while refreing the internal tables in Changing, export ot import parameters as TABLES parameter is obselete

and as it is Global it can be used in multiple programs

Hi naveen,

The idea behind introducing table types is that the Table Types is defined globally in the ABAP Dictionary & can be used in any program,FM,etc.It increases reusability.

Also,any changes are maintained centrally.

Goodluck,
