Effect
</span></p>
<P>
This form of the addition <a href="javascript:call_link('abapassign_casting.html')" class="blue"><span class="qtext">casting_spec</span></a>
of the statement <a href="javascript:call_link('abapassign.html')" class="blue"><span class="qtext">ASSIGN</span></a>, in which
<span class="qtext">TYPE</span> or <span class="qtext">DECIMALS</span> is specified without the addition
<span class="qtext">CASTING</span>, is not allowed in classes. Also it cannot be used together with
the statement <span class="qtext">INCREMENT</span> in <a href="javascript:call_link('abapassign_mem_area.html')" class="blue"><span class="qtext">
mem_area</span></a> or with the addition <a href="javascript:call_link('abapassign_range.html')" class="blue"><span class="qtext">RANGE</span></a>.
However, the field symbol may have been typed using the obsolete- addition <a href="javascript:call_link('abapfield-symbols_obsolete_typing.html')" class="blue">
<span class="qtext">STRUCTURE</span></a> of the statement <a href="javascript:call_link('abapfield-symbols.html')" class="blue"><span class="qtext">FIELD-SYMBOLS</span></a>. <br><br>

<span class="qtext">... TYPE name</span> <br><!-- /A -->
</P>
<p><span class="h4">
Effect
</span></p>
<P>
After <span class="qtext">TYPE</span>, a single character character-like data object <span class="qtext">name</span>
is expected, which must contain exactly one of the case-sensitive letters "C", "D", "F", "I", "N", "P", "T", "X", "b", or "s" when the statement is executed. These letters label the respective predefined
<a href="javascript:call_link('abenpredefined_data_type_glosry.html')" class="grey" title="Glossary Entry">ABAP types</a> and have the following effects:
</P>
<ul class="disc">
<li>
If the field symbol <span class="qtext"><fs></span> is typed completely or in parts, the
<a href="javascript:call_link('abentyping_glosry.html')" class="grey" title="Glossary Entry">typing</a> must match the ABAP type specified after <span class="qtext">TYPE</span>. The assigned memory area is cast to the type of the field symbol.
<br><br></li>
<li>
If the field symbol is typed completely generically, the type of the assigned memory area is cast to the ABAP type specified after <span class="qtext">TYPE</span>. <br><br>
<br></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="h4">
Note
</span></p>
<P>
The specification of the predefined types <span class="qtext">b</span> and <span class="qtext">s</span>
using "b" or "s" is an exception to the rule that these cannot be specified in statements. It is only possible in these obsolete variants. <br><br>

<p><span class="h4">
Effect
</span></p>
<P>
A numeric data object <span class="qtext">dec</span> must be specified after <span class="qtext">DECIMALS</span>. For the
<a href="javascript:call_link('abencast_casting_glosry.html')" class="grey" title="Glossary Entry">casting</a>, the data type <span class="qtext">p</span> is used. Here, the number of
<a href="javascript:call_link('abenfractional_portion_glosry.html')" class="grey" title="Glossary Entry">decimal places</a> is
determined by the content of <span class="qtext">dec</span>. <span class="qtext">TYPE</span> does not
need to be specified for <span class="qtext">DECIMALS</span>. If <span class="qtext">TYPE</span> is specified, <span class="qtext">name</span> must contain the data type "P", which is used anyway. <br><br>
