A practical workflow for Type Definition Generator

Generate local ABAP TYPES structures and optional internal table types from field and type declarations, with safe identifier normalization.

1. Prepare

Enter the structure name and field declarations. Example: TY_ORDER with sales_order TYPE vbeln_va and created_at TYPE timestampl; optionally request a table type.

2. Review

Review normalized names and the generated structure. With a table type selected, inspect TYPES tt_order TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_order WITH EMPTY KEY.

3. Apply

The generator does not verify DDIC type existence or compile ABAP. Confirm field types, table key and syntax in the target release before integrating the declaration.

Verification before operational use

  • Use a representative case with the inputs needed to reproduce it.
  • Confirm the result in the authorized target environment when runtime versions, namespaces, extensions, permissions or system configuration can change the outcome.
  • Record the source, assumptions, tool settings and expected result so another reviewer can reproduce the check and distinguish verified facts from recommendations.
