• REF TO CREATE DATA

CREATE DATA, REF TO
Short Reference

ABAP_SYNTAX
CREATE DATA dref $[ area_handle$]
TYPE REF TO ${type$|(name)$}.

What does it do?
The addition TYPE REF TO is used by the statement CREATE DATA to create a reference variable. The static type of the reference variable can be specified either directly as type or dynamically in name.
When type is specified, the same rules apply as to the definition of reference types using the statement TYPES. For data reference variables, either the generic type data or a completely specified data type can be specified. For object reference variables, either a class or an interface can be specified.
For name, a character-like field can be specified that must contain the name of a class, an interface, or a data type when the statement is executed. The name of the reference type in name can also be specified as an absolute type name.



Latest notes:

Object types in name can also be specified dynamically in lowercase letters.
