CDS entity

CDS object in ABAP CDS managed by ABAP Dictionary. In a CDS data definition, a CDS entity is defined in DDL source code using the CDS DDL in ABAP CDS. An instance of a CDS entity is created when it is activated. Within CDS, a CDS entity can access other entities. Currently, CDS views, CDS table functions, CDS hierarchies, and abstract CDS entities are the available entities. In ABAP programs, a CDS entity can be used as a data type and ABAP SQL read statements can be used to access non-abstract CDS entities.
