TYPE-POOLS  Syntax Diagram

Short Reference

Obsolete Syntax

TYPE-POOLS tpool.

Effect

This statement is obsolete. It is checked for accurate syntax but otherwise ignored by ABAP Compiler.

The statement TYPE-POOLS was required in the past to load the elements of a type group tpool explicitly in the current context. It can be specified for the global data declaration of an ABAP program or in the declaration part of a class or an interface.

Now a type group is loaded automatically when one of its elements is first accessed in a program.
