ABAP Dictionary (BC-DWB-DIC)

Central and redundancy-free storage facility for all data in the R/3 System.

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.
