Documentation
Definition
In ABAP, the storage area for certain data types starts at even- numbered byte limits or at byte limits divisible by 4 or 8.
Consequently, it is sometimes necessary to leave gaps (or "alignments") between two fields of a work area.
If the flag is set, dummy fields are generated for these gaps. The description that is generated covers a continuous storage area.
