I have just informed developers responsible for table types about this issue.

I have got feedback from the developers responsible earlier this week. I am afraid they don't expect to provide a file format for table types soon. They plan to provide file formats for tables and structures first.

@jfilak Maybe, you want to explain your use case for having a file format for table types specifically. Maybe, this might increase the priority.

No big deal. I have an RFC function module accepting and returning a table with key value pairs. The parameter's type cannot be like "type standard table ..." and also I cannot use a type defined within a class/interface (not allowed for RFC function modules). Thus I had to create a table type and I wanted to version it externally with my function modules.

BTW: tables and structures are returned in a nice format from ADT but TableTypes are super complicated XML files
