What is the default length of the type C data type?

The default length of the type C data type in SAP ABAP is 1. This means that when a character type variable is declared without a specified length, it automatically has a length of one character. The type C is designed to store fixed-length character strings, and if you do not explicitly provide a length during the declaration, SAP will use this default.

Understanding the implications of this default is crucial for effective data handling in ABAP programming. A default length of 1 is particularly helpful to know for scenarios where single character representation is required, such as flagging or simple character storage.

Other options suggest different lengths which are not applicable as defaults for type C. The maximum range indicated in some choices can lead to confusion, but only the default value of 1 accurately represents how type C is initialized in ABAP.
