ABAP_DDIC - Built-In Data Types The built-in data types in ABAP Dictionary are used as follows:
To construct user-defined DDIC data types (DDIC data elements, DDIC structures, including DDIC database tables and DDIC views, and DDIC table types) in the ABAP Dictionary. They can also be used in CDS DDL in ABAP CDS . They cannot be addressed directly in ABAP programs, with the exception of some type specifications in ABAP SQL. Built-in dictionary data types can only be addressed in ABAP programs by using dictionary objects or CDS objects and this is why they are also called external data types.
They have special technical and semantic properties and can be used to model semantic models.
They represent an interface between the built-in ABAP types and all possible vendor-specific data types of the supported databases. A mapping takes place in both directions. The following sections describe the properties of the built-in data types in ABAP Dictionary:
