Documentation

Data element

A data element (elementary type) describes the technical attributes and the contents of a table or structure field. Fields with the same contents refer to the same data element.

A data element is a type and can be referenced in ABAP programs with TYPE. For example, variables taking on the type attributes of a data element can be defined in an ABAP program.

The type attributes of a data element (built-in data type in the ABAP Dictionary, field length and possibly decimal places) are copied from the domain of the data element.

Use

You can maintain the assignment of data elements to Dictionary authorizations.

This means that authorization for Dictionary maintenance of individual data elements can be restricted to a specified group of users/developers.

Procedure

  1. Mark with a cross, select object from the menu or press PF2.
  2. Generic entry of the object name and/or authorization group.
  3. Select PF key maintenance.
  4. Enter the authorization group in the relevant field.
  5. Save and press PF3 Back.
  6. Check authorization by carrying out a maintenance test.

Dependencies

You require authorization to maintain the associated tables TDDAx. If you do not have this authorization, the system branches automatically to display mode. There is also a lock function that prevents parallel assignment of authorization classes and Dictionary maintenance of the same objects. If this function is in place, only display mode is possible.

You can only enter allowed authorization groups. These are maintained under menu point Permitted_groups.
