F1 Help Provision

Use

You are able to store a help text for each element in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) – independent of ALV. Wherever this DDIC element is used, the user is able to call up this help text with the F1 function key.

You are able to specify a “foreign” DDIC element to a column without DDIC reference and then to use the F1 help text from it for your column.
