  DDL formatter is a component of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP. It is used to format the Data Definition Language (DDL) statements that are used to define database objects. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for creating and editing DDL statements, as well as for generating and executing them. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The DDL formatter can be accessed from the ABAP Dictionary by selecting the “DDL Formatter” option from the menu. This will open up a window with two tabs: “Create” and “Edit”. The “Create” tab allows you to create a new DDL statement, while the “Edit” tab allows you to edit an existing one. Once you have created or edited your statement, you can generate and execute it by clicking on the “Generate & Execute” button. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating or editing a DDL statement, it is important to remember that all changes must be saved before they can be executed. Additionally, it is important to double-check your statement before executing it, as any errors in the statement may cause unexpected results.
