Type Definitions

You can create type definitions for pages with flow logic. Type definitions are not available for views, however.

If you want to use a page attribute that should only be used within a page and in the different methods of the page (event handler and layout), you can create a local type for this. Type definitions are therefore local types visible in all event handlers of a BSP and the BSP itself.

Type definitions are also relevant when BAPIs are used (see BAPI Explorer). In the page editor, you call the BAPI browser through which you cut & paste the type definitions and a template for the requested BAPI call to the Type Definition and Event Handler tabs in your BSP.
