Data dictoinary is central source of information
it supports creation and maintanence of data definitions.
Data Dictionary Objects
1. tables- collection of fields.can be defined independently of database.
2. Domain- is defined as the technical characteristics of table fields. It also defines the value range
allowed data types to the fields.
3.data elements: describes the type of table field. Contains field information.
4.structures: are defined same as tables. They are like user defined data types. Stores data only in
run time.
2.What are the layers of data description in R/3?[1m]
There are 3 layers in R/3
Application layer
Presentation layer
Database layer
3.What is the function of the transport system and workbench organizer?[1m]
4.How many types of size categories and data classes are there?[2m]
Size categories- 0 -4
Data class – APPL0
5. Define data class, delivery class, size category, foreign key relationship?[2m]
Data class: table space of the table stored.
Delivery class: type of data being stored and owner of table
Size category: defines expected space for the table.
Foreign key relationship is a relationship between two tables for the validation of data.
6.What is the function of the correction system?[1m]
7.What are the aggregate objects in the data dictionary?[2m]
8.A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned to a reference table and
a reference field. Explain.[1m]
Reference table and fields are assigned here so that valid currency value is taken.
9.·In the ABAP/4 Dictionary Tables can be defined independent of the underlying database (T/F).
What is the max. no. Of structures that can be included in a table or structure.[1m]
Yes.
Max of structures: 9
10.Can we include customizing include or an append structure with Pooled or Cluster tables?[1m]
no
11.What are the two levels in defining a Match Code?[1m]
12.Can you delete a domain, which is being used by data elements?[1m]
no
13.What are conversion routines?What is the function of a data element?[2m]
Data element defines the type of table field.
Fields of semantic meaning refer to same data element.
14. What are the different types of views. Explain[2m]
4types of views
Database view- this selects fields fro one or more tables using inner join. Can read and display
data.
Projection view- selects from single table
Maintanenece view- this selects fields fro one or more tables using inner join.can read,display
and maintain.
help view- help view used with the help of search helps.
15.Which objects are independent transport objects?[1m]
Tables
16. What are the differences between a Database index and a match code?[1m]
17.What is the use of ‘pretty printer’?[1m]
18.In ABAP what are the differences between table and structure in data dictionary?[1m]
Table represent database table and structure donot correspond to database table.
Structure contain data only in runtime.
19.What is the difference between check table and value table?[1m]
Check table: table which stores master data
Value table :defined at domain level. All table fields referred to the domain can be checked at
single table called value table.
20.What is TMG? Explain.[2m]
Table Maintanence Generator.
It is a function module used to customize table and can be changed as required, like making an
entry or deleting an entry.
It is used to validate table data using events.
