OData ABAP service data types are also knows as 'EDM' data types.

The supported data types are:

1. EDM.Binary > Fixed or variable length binary data
2. EDM.Boolean > To represent binary value logic (True/False)
3. EDM.Byte > Unsigned 8-bit integer value
4. EDM.DateTime > Date and time values
5. EDM.Decimal > Numeric values with fixed precision and scale
6. EDM.Double > Floating point number with 15 digit precision
7. EDM.Float> Floating point number with 7 digit precision
8. EDM.Sbyte > Signed 8-bit integer value
9. EDM.Int16 > Signed 16-bit integer value
10. EDM.Int32 > Signed 32-bit integer value
11. EDM.Int64 > Signed 64-bit integer value
12. EDM.Single > Floating point number with 7-digit precision
13. EDM.String > Fixed or variable length character data
14. EDM.Time > Time of the day with values ranging from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59

The above are not ABAP Data Types. They are OData service data types used at OData level, and are called EDM data types.

EDM stands for Entity Data Model.
