What is 'type descriptor' in SAP OPU-TNG - Tango?

type descriptor - Overview

• Component: OPU-TNG

• Component Name: Tango

• Description: Every input, output or return parameter of a method instacne object has a type descriptor that defines the data type of the parameter. It is the most complex metadata object—a hierarchical object that recursively describes an abstract data structure built up of primitives.

  Key Concepts: 
  Type descriptor is a component of the OPU-TNG Tango software. It is a data structure that describes the type of data stored in a particular field. It contains information such as the data type, length, and other attributes. It is used to define the structure of a database table and to ensure that data is stored in the correct format.
  
  How to use it: 
  Type descriptors are used to define the structure of a database table. They are used to specify the data type, length, and other attributes of each field in the table. This ensures that data is stored in the correct format and can be retrieved accurately.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a type descriptor, it is important to ensure that all fields are correctly defined. This will help to ensure that data is stored in the correct format and can be retrieved accurately. It is also important to ensure that all fields are correctly named so that they can be easily identified when querying the database.
  
  Related Information: 
  Type descriptors are related to other components of OPU-TNG Tango such as Data Dictionary and Data Modeler. The Data Dictionary stores information about all tables and fields in a database, while the Data Modeler is used to create and modify database tables.
