Is data element WDY_BOOLEAN and Flag (Char1) the same for Web Dynpro ALV?

Both wdy_boolean and flag are data elements of type char1.  Does it mean both are the same?

Straight talk today. Allow me to show both of you the results of a similar Web Dynpro ALV, which has three fields, to make my point. Three sections in an ALV are: Plant, Plant Name, and a one-person banner saying ‘Set’.

a) Let us initially characterize the information component as a banner for the one-person field ‘Set’ in the setting definition. Check out the result, ALV.

b) Presently, let us characterize the information component as WDY_BOOLEAN for a similar one-person field ‘Set’. Mark the result ALV once more.

Do you see the distinction?
The subsequent result shows that the “Set” field is shown as the checkbox.

Did it light something?
Thus, at whatever point you really want a checkbox in an intelligent ALV, just set the field as WDY_BOOLEAN and you are good to go to get a checkbox as a result. Isn’t it cool?
