  A key flag is a setting in the ABAP Dictionary that defines the characteristics of a table field. It is used to indicate whether a field is part of the primary key of a table, or if it is part of a foreign key. It also defines whether the field is required or optional, and whether it can be changed or not. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the key flag, you must first create a table in the ABAP Dictionary. Once the table has been created, you can set the key flag for each field in the table. To do this, select the field and then click on the “Key Flag” tab. Here you can set whether the field is part of the primary key, part of a foreign key, required or optional, and whether it can be changed or not.
