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 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).
