The information i am providing is best of my knowledge.Anyways experts here will help you.But i can share what i know..
1) Partition : Sub-dividing the objects into mutually exclusive subtypes. Partition is mainly used when the objects are randomly ordered.We can partition groups as well as items also.
Choice : This is used when you want to make a choice from a set of values ,say multiple choice questions.
For example : There may be a scenario where we can use 855/997 transaction which is specified in ST01 segment. Now you can use the choice group so that it makes a choice of 855/997 according to the requirement.
2) Decimal data type in type tree : Go to the item properties and select the item class as decimal. Now you will have an option called separators.You can select the format there or else you have places in the properties where you can specify number of decimal places.
3) Implicit and Explicit : Consider we have a group which has multiple records. Now the record group is implicit because it is not a fixed format i.e, we dont know how many records are present as they are distinguishable by their position. The record group is explicit because it is a fixed format and the records are distinguishable by a delimiter i.e, we can know how many records are present.
4) Infix,prefix and postfix are nothing but floating components. Consider a group where it is infix or prefix delimited, now the floating component appears before the delimiter and if the group is postfix delimited then the floating component appears after the delimiter.
Hope this is clear.If it is not clear please let me know.I Will try giving more examples.
Regards,
Raghav.
