ABAP Data Dictionary Structures
A Global ABAP Class is a reusable object-oriented programming unit defined in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) that can be accessed across multiple programs and development objects within an SAP system. Developers use it to encapsulate logic, attributes, and methods in a single, centrally managed class that can be instantiated or called from anywhere in the system. It is created and maintained using the Class Builder or ADT, and forms a core building block of object-oriented ABAP development.

- Concept ABAP Data Dictionary (DDIC) Concepts The [ABAP Dictionary (DDIC)](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/abenddic.htm) is a central metadata repository in SAP systems where developers define and manage data models used across ABAP applications. It stores definitions for database tables, data elements, domains, structured types, and table types that can be referenced throughout ABAP development. Developers use it to create reusable, consistent type definitions and to manage the structure of database objects without writing platform-specific SQL.
