• Key Concepts: 
  Abstract is a term used in the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment to refer to a program that is not directly executable, but instead serves as a template for other programs. It contains the basic logic and structure of a program, but does not contain any specific implementation details. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Abstracts are used to create programs that are based on the same logic and structure. This allows developers to quickly create programs that are based on the same logic without having to write the code from scratch. Abstracts can also be used to create programs that are more efficient and easier to maintain. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an abstract, it is important to make sure that all of the necessary logic and structure is included. This will ensure that any programs created from the abstract will be able to run correctly. Additionally, it is important to make sure that any changes made to the abstract are reflected in all of the programs created from it.

Additionally, there are many resources available online which provide tutorials and examples of how to use abstracts in the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment.
