DICTIONARY Complete Guide
Purpose
Data definitions (metadata) are created and managed in the ABAP Dictionary. The ABAP
Dictionary permits a central description of all the data used in the system without redundancies.
New or modified information is automatically provided for all the system components. This ensures data integrity, data consistency and data security.
You can create the corresponding objects (tables or views) in the underlying relational database using these data definitions. The ABAP Dictionary therefore describes the logical structure of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables or views.
The ABAP Dictionary also provides standard functions for editing fields on the screen, for example for assigning a screen field an input help.
