ABAP Programs: Complex Non-Elementary Types and Data Objects

REPORT ZSOURCE0408.

* Nested records
TYPES: BEGIN OF ADDRESS,
CITY(25),
STREET(30),
END OF ADDRESS,
BEGIN OF PERSON,
NAME(25),
ADDRESS TYPE ADDRESS,
END OF PERSON.
DATA RECEIVER TYPE PERSON.
RECEIVER-NAME = ‘Smith’.
RECEIVER-ADDRESS-CITY = ‘Big City’.
RECEIVER-ADDRESS-STREET = ‘Main street’.

* Nested internal tables
TYPES: BEGIN OF PHONE_FAX_NUMBERS,
COUNTRY_CODE(3) TYPE N,
AREA_CODE(3) TYPE N,
NUMBER(10) TYPE N,
END OF PHONE_FAX_NUMBERS,
BEGIN OF EMPLOYEE,
NAME(25),
PHONE TYPE PHONE_FAX_NUMBERS OCCURS 10,
FAX TYPE PHONE_FAX_NUMBERS OCCURS 5,
END OF EMPLOYEE.
DATA EMPLOYEES TYPE EMPLOYEE OCCURS 100.
