Hii

<b>An infotype is a 'record' or a 'screen' which holds data against an employee or PD object such as a position, org.unit etc.

A table stores values about an infotype and the way it will function.</b>

Main program generates internal tables for infotypes at runtime.

Infotypes have an associated database table and a structure .

What is Infotype

The information units used to enter the data of an employee are called infotypes.

The infotypes are used to group related data fields together.

E.g.. IT0006.(address)

Why Infotype

As HR is related to time , we require old data as well as new data. The data we enter into the infotypes are automatically checked for accuracy and against the table entries.

In simple, HR data is huge and to access data easily we require infotype.

HI

GOOD

You can use SAP Query in HR to report on HR data. Queries are maintained as described in Creating Queries. The special features of queries created for HR are described in Maintaining Queries in the Human Resources Application. The maintenance procedure for HR InfoSets differs from the described procedure inasmuch as HR data fields are grouped together in infotypes.

INTERNAL TABLE=>

Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in working memory in ABAP. The data is stored line by line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. You should use internal tables whenever you want to process a dataset with a fixed structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a good way of including very complicated data structures in an ABAP program.

DIFFERENCE=>

Basically, an infotype is a 'record' or a 'screen' which holds data against

an employee or PD object such as a position, org.unit etc. A table stores

values about an infotype and the way it will function.
