• Key Concepts: 
  Augmentation Constructor is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It allows developers to add additional functionality to existing programs without having to modify the original code. This is done by creating a separate program that is linked to the original program and contains the additional code. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the Augmentation Constructor, developers must first create a separate program that contains the additional code they want to add. This program must then be linked to the original program using the Augmentation Constructor. Once linked, the additional code will be executed when the original program is run. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the Augmentation Constructor, it is important to ensure that the additional code does not conflict with any existing code in the original program. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all necessary data is passed between the two programs so that the additional code can be executed correctly.
