CREATE DATA - HANDLE
Syntax
CREATE DATA dref [area_handle]
TYPE HANDLE handle.
Effect
The statement CREATE DATA uses the addition HANDLE to create a data object whose data type is described by an RTTS type description object. For handle, a reference variable of the static type of class CL_ABAP_DATADESCR or its subclasses has to be specified, which points to a type description object. The type description object object may have been created using the RTTS methods on existing data objects, or using the dynamic definition of a new data type.
The type description object must describe a non-generic type. Only type description objects for the
generic ABAP types c, n, p, and x create and use a new
bound data type with the
standard values. Similarly, a type description
object for a standard table with a generic table type creates and uses a new bound table type with a standard key.
Note
Important methods for the dynamic definition of data types are:
Note
We recommend using the GET methods instead of CREATE to avoid creating multiple type description objects for a single type.
