in their own right, you can
reuse data elements within the same table or among fields in several tables.

- Field label
- F1 documentation : TCODE – SE61.
Type name of document and select document class & language. Use this document name as a reference to
link with another document in which you have selected a text which is to be hyperlinked. Insert -> link -> document
class, name.
