ABAPTYPES_REF_TO - TYPES REF TO

Variables with this type contain references (pointers) to data objects. They can only be dereferenced using an ASSIGN statement.

Example

TYPES: reftype    TYPE REF TO DATA.
DATA:  numref     TYPE reftype,
       number     TYPE I VALUE 123.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.

GET REFERENCE OF number INTO numref.
ASSIGN numref->* TO <fs>.

In this example, a reference is created to the data object number. Subsequently, the data object is assigned to the field symbol <fs> using the dereferencing operator ->*. The field symbol can then be processed as usual.
