ALE Vs XI

/people/aparna.chaganti2/blog/2007/02/06/xi-or-alewhich-one-is-better

Datatypes are abstract types. The <xsd:element name > tag defines the root of an xml message. This is not present in datatype. Xi always require a root element to send the data.

No we can't craete a message type directly u have to use a data type.

In case of IDOC, RFC u can use it directly.. there is no need to create a data type then.
