A table is a table definition in the abap dictionary that specifies the structure of the data and contains data on the underlying database. A Table Type, is a definition of the structure of a table using a line type, this can then be used to describe the signture parameters in methods, and function module calls. Table Types, decribe, they do not contain data on the underlying database.

Hi,
<b>A table type</b> describes the structure and functional attributes of an internal table in ABAP. In ABAP programs you can reference a table type TTYP defined in the ABAP Dictionary with the command DATA <inttab> TYPE TTYP. An internal table <inttab> is created in the program with the attributes defined for TTYP in the ABAP Dictionary.
