Hi,

Some Introduction about ABAP Dictionary

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.

The descriptive data for the ABAP Dictionary is also known as meta data since is represents data about data.

The ABAP Dictionary describes the logical structure of application development objects and their representation in the structures of the underlying relational database.

All runtime environment components such as application programs or the database interface get information about these objects directly from the ABAP Dictionary.

The ABAP Dictionary is an active data dictionary and is fully integrated in the ABAP Workbench.

The ABAP Dictionary centrally describes and manages all the data definitions used in the system. The ABAP Dictionary is completely integrated in the ABAP Development Workbench. All the other components of the Workbench can actively access the definitions stored in the ABAP Dictionary.

The ABAP Dictionary supports the definition of user-defined types (data elements, structures and table types). You can also define the structure of database objects (tables, indexes and views) in the ABAP Dictionary. These objects can then be automatically created in the database with this definition. The ABAP Dictionary also provides tools for editing screen fields, for example for assigning a field an input help

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.

Just have a look at these links:
