  • Key Concepts: 
    An alias name is a name assigned to an object in the ABAP runtime environment of SAP. It is used to refer to the object in the program code instead of its actual name. This makes it easier to read and understand the code, as well as to make changes to it. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In order to use an alias name, you must first define it in the program code. This is done by using the ALIAS statement, which assigns a name to an object. Once the alias name has been defined, it can be used in place of the object's actual name in the program code. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When defining an alias name, make sure that it is descriptive and easy to remember. This will make it easier for you and other developers to understand and work with the code. Additionally, try to avoid using names that are already used by other objects in the system, as this can lead to confusion.
