Is there any difference between using typeset in ksh to simply setting a variable?

Are the following 2 lines completely equivalent? If not what's the difference? I've seen plently of shellscripts utilize number 1 and was just wondering what it gives you compared with number 2.

  1. typeset TARGET="${XMS_HOME}/common/jxb/config/${RUNGROUP}.${ENV}.properties"
  2. TARGET="${XMS_HOME}/common/jxb/config/${RUNGROUP}.${ENV}.properties"
