  Key Concepts: 
  An indicator field is a field in an ABAP Dictionary table that is used to store a single character value. This value can be used to indicate the status of a record, such as whether it is active or inactive. It can also be used to store other information, such as the type of record or the user who created it. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Indicator fields are typically used in conjunction with other fields in a table. For example, if you have a table that stores customer information, you could use an indicator field to indicate whether the customer is active or inactive. You could also use it to store the type of customer (e.g., retail or wholesale). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an indicator field, make sure to give it a meaningful name that describes its purpose. This will make it easier for other users to understand what the field is used for. Additionally, make sure to set the default value for the field so that it is always set correctly when a new record is created.
