Q. Whats ABAP dictionary and its role in SAP?
Ans: ABAP dictionary is the central information base for
the developers. Thismanages all definitions(metadata)
required for different applications in SAP.ABAP
dictionary is completely integrated into ABAP
development workbench. Allother component of ABAP
development workbench can access the
datadefinitions(meta data) stored in the data
dictionary.Role: ABAP data dictionary supportsdefinition
of user-defined types (data elements, structures, table
types).structure of database objects (tables, indexes
and views) can also be defined.These user-defined
types/objects are then automatically created in
theunderlying relational database using the above data
definitions.The ABAP dictionary also provides tools for
editing screen fields (e.g., forassigning a field an input
help i.e. F4 help).Data dictionary ensures data integrity,
consistency and security.
Q. What are the main object types of ABAP dictionary?
Ans: The object types of ABAP dictionary can be of
following type:Tables: Tables are defined in the ABAP
Dictionary independently of thedatabase.A table having
the same structure is then created from this table
definitionin the underlying database.Views: are logical
views on more than one table. The structure of the view
isdefined in the ABAP Dictionary. A view on the
database can then be createdfrom this structure.Types
(elements, structures, table types): Types are created in
ABAP programs. The structure of a type can be defined

globally in ABAP programs. Changes to a type

automatically take effect in all the programs using the
type.Lockobjects:are used to synchronize access to the
same data by more than oneuser. Function modules
that can be used in application programs are
generatedfrom the definition of a lock object in the
ABAP Dictionary.Domains: Different fields having the
same technical type can be combined indomains.
Domain defines the value range of all table fields and
structurecomponents that refer to this domain.Data
element: The ABAP Dictionary also contains the
information displayed with the F1 and F4 help for a field
in an input template. The documentation aboutthe field
is created for a data element.Input help: The list of
possible input values that appears for the input helpis
created by a foreign key or a search help.
Q. Note on SAP tables(defining through ABAP
dictionary).
Ans: Tables are defined independently of the database
in ABAP dictionary. Thefields of the table are defined
with their (Database-independent) data types
and lengths. Using the table definitions stored in the
ABAP dictionary, a table isautomatically created in the
physical database(when the table is activated).
Q. What are the components of a table definition.
Ans:Table fields: For table fields, field names and data
types are defined.
