Summary
To paint fields from the ABAP Dictionary, make sure you are in the Layout view.
Use the Goto-> Secondary Window->Dict/program fields menu path in the
Screen Painter.
If you go to the Element List (field types view), the screens fields painted from
the ABAP Dictionary are automatically named <table name>-<field name>.
To create the program fields with the same names as the screen fields painted
from the ABAP Dictionary, you should use the TABLES statement in the Top
Include.
A screen field that is painted from the ABAP Dictionary points to a data element.
The data element has online help associated with it. If the cursor is positioned in
the screen field and the F1 key is pressed, the system displays a dialog box with
this online help.
The ABAP Dictionary is integrated throughout the SAP system.
