BEGIN TYPE...END TYPE

The BEGIN TYPE..END TYPE command lets you define custom data types, also known as "records" or "structures." These data types let you group variables of different types under a single name, making it easier to manage complex data.

The TYPE command lets you create data models that can contain variables of different types. It lets you organize data in a logical and structured way, improving the readability and maintainability of your code. Once you've defined a data type with TYPE, you can access the individual members (variables) of the structure using the variable name and the member name separated by a period.

The TYPE command is especially useful when you work with large amounts of data or when you want to create complex data structures. It allows you to group related information and manage it efficiently.
