NEW - Initial Value for All Types

Syntax
... NEW dtype|class|#( ) ...

Effect
If no parameters are specified,

an anonymous data object retains its type-specific initial value,

no values are passed to the instance constructor of an object.

This is possible for every non-generic data type dtype . The instance constructor of a class class can either have only optional input parameters or no input parameters at all. The # symbol can stand for appropriate types.

Example
After the following program section is executed, dref points to an empty internal table with the row type T100 . Both constructor expressions have the same function.
TYPES t_itab TYPE TABLE OF t100 WITH EMPTY KEY.

DATA dref TYPE REF TO t_itab.

dref = NEW #( ).
dref = NEW t_itab( ).
