SapColumn Type
A column in an internal table.
Remarks
An internal table is made up of rows and columns. Table definitions including the number and type of
the columns in the table, are retrieved from the R/3 server by the SapClient component. This means
that the Name, Length, and ColumnType cannot be edited manually. Only the Value may be
changed.

The type of the column.
A list of valid column types is shown below:
| | | ctCharacters (0) | Character data. | | ctDate (1) | A date in the format YYYYMMDD. | | ctPackedDecimal (2) | Packed decimals are unique to the SAP system, and are treated as binary data by the
component. | | ctTime (3) | A time in the format HHMMSS. | | ctBinary (4) | Raw binary data. | | ctTable (5) | Handle to a table in memory. | | ctNumber (6) | Numeric data formatted as a String. | | ctDouble (7) | An 8-byte floating-point number (double). | | ctInteger (8) | A 4-byte integer (int). | | ctShort (9) | A 2-byte integer (short). | | ctByte (10) | A 1-byte integer (byte). | | ctNull (14) | An unsupported data type | | ctStructure (17) | ABAP structure | | ctDecF16 (23) | 754r decimal floating point, 8 bytes | | ctDecF34 (24) | 754r decimal floating point, 16 bytes | | ctXMLData (28) | Null terminated string containing an ABAP structure with XML | | ctString (29) | Null terminated string | | ctXString (30) | Null terminated string with length field in bytes |
