ABAP/4 Repository Information System

The Repository Information System displays a tree structure that can be expanded when looking for objects in the R/3 System. This tree structure provides an alternative method of opening an existing program in the ABAP/4 Editor. The following are a few typical requests which you might make to the ABAP/4 Repository Information System with regard to the ABAP/4 Dictionary:

• Search by object attributes (list all objects of type X with attribute(s) Y).
  
• Where-used lists (lists all objects of type X which use object of type Y or list all ABAP/4 programs which use particular tables).
  
• Information about the relationships between tables (foreign key relationships).
  
• Modified objects (list all objects of type X changed by user Y or, for example, which were changed after a particular date).
  
• Display data (display all data records in table X with attribute Y).
