The SAP ABAP Data Dictionary provides data to create, modify, test, activate, delete, and copy:

  • Tables
  • Views
  • Data types (data elements, structures, and table types)
  • Type groups
  • Domains
  • Search help
  • Lock objects

In addition, it offers a set of tools for setting the properties of the dictionary objects, their extensions, their uses, and their environmental analyses.

Environment analysis

By clicking the ABAP-Part-1 icon, you come to the environmental analysis of a dictionary object. The environment analysis shows the relation of a dictionary object to other dictionary objects (see Figure 2.2).
