• Key Concepts: 
  A calendar day literal is a type of ABAP literal used to represent a date in the SAP system. It is represented by the format ‘YYYYMMDD’, where YYYY is the year, MM is the month, and DD is the day. This literal can be used to compare dates, calculate intervals between dates, and perform other date-related operations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Calendar day literals can be used in ABAP programs to compare dates, calculate intervals between dates, and perform other date-related operations. For example, you can use a calendar day literal to compare two dates and determine if one is greater than or equal to the other. You can also use it to calculate the number of days between two dates. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using calendar day literals in ABAP programs, make sure that you are using the correct format (‘YYYYMMDD’). Also, be aware that the literal will not take into account any timezone differences.
