• Key Concepts: 
  CDS annotation is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It allows developers to add annotations to CDS views, which are used to define the data structure of an application. Annotations provide additional information about the view, such as labels, descriptions, and other metadata. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CDS annotations, developers must first create a CDS view. Once the view is created, annotations can be added using the @Annotations syntax. Annotations can be used to provide additional information about the view, such as labels, descriptions, and other metadata. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When adding annotations to a CDS view, it is important to ensure that the syntax is correct. Annotations should be placed at the beginning of the view definition and should be separated by commas. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all annotations are properly closed with a semicolon at the end of the annotation definition.
