What does it do?
Obsolete short forms of the statement TYPES with reference to a built-in elementary type abap_type.

If TYPE abap_type is not specified, the type is set implicitly to the standard type c.

If len or dec is not specified for the ABAP types c , n, p, and x, the length is set to the type-friendly standard length. No decimal places are set for p. This is only allowed outside of classes or interfaces.

Latest notes:
For reasons of readability, all additions should be specified completely.
