Definition

Displays the ABAP Dictionary reference. You can then either create a link to this or dissolve it.

A distinction is made between ABAP Dictionary fields and fields defined in the program.
The reference that is set has an influence on whether and how the field is filled with data at runtime. If there is no reference to the ABAP Dictionary, the field with the same name that is defined globally in the program with a DATA statement is used to supply the values. If there is a Dictionary reference, the field of a table work area having the same name is used to supply the values. This field is defined in the program with a TABLES statement.

The system assigns screen elements that you get from the ABAP Dictionary with the "Dict/Program fields" function an ABAP Dictionary reference.
You must create the reference yourself for screen elements created directly on the screen. The system gives you support by checking whether newly assigned or changed field names have a name that was already defined in the ABAP Dictionary. If this is the case, it suggests that you create the reference.
