  • Key Concepts: 
    A byte string literal is a type of data object in SAP's ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA). It is a sequence of bytes that can be used to store and manipulate character strings. It is similar to a character string literal, but it can store any type of data, including binary data. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Byte string literals are used in ABAP programs to store and manipulate data. They can be used to store character strings, binary data, or any other type of data. They are declared using the DATA statement and can be manipulated using the MOVE statement. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When declaring a byte string literal, it is important to specify the length of the string. This will ensure that the program does not try to access memory outside of the allocated space for the byte string literal.
