The following table explains the meaning of each column.

Client:	SAP Client
User	User logged on to server (SAP user name)
Transaction	Executed SAP transaction (transaction code)
Roll	The roll area holds the user environment information needed by work processes when executing dialog steps.
Page	SAP Paging is only used for a limited number of ABAP commands.
Mem(Total)	Specifies how much of the SAP extended memory was requested by this user.
Mem(Priv.)	Private memory (heap memory) requested by the user.

The memory usage for all the work processes currently occupied by this user is displayed.

You can use transaction SM50 ( Displaying and Controlling Work Processes) to monitor the memory usage of individual work processes.

The order in which the various memory classes are assigned to the dialog work process is described under Allocating Memory for User Contexts.

The display also lists the number (key) assigned to the user. Roll and page blocks are identified internally by a key that comprises the key number of the user who holds the block and the number of the user's mode and the number of the user's internal mode.
