• Key Concepts: 
  CDS parameter is a feature of the ABAP runtime environment in SAP. It is used to define the parameters of a CDS view, which is a data model that can be used to access and manipulate data from multiple sources. The parameters are used to define the data sources, the fields to be included in the view, and other settings. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use CDS parameters, you must first create a CDS view. Once the view is created, you can define the parameters by selecting the “Parameters” tab in the ABAP editor. Here, you can specify the data sources, fields, and other settings for your view. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining CDS parameters, it is important to ensure that all of the fields are correctly specified. This will ensure that your view will return accurate results when queried. Additionally, it is important to consider how your view will be used when defining parameters; for example, if you plan to use your view for reporting purposes, you may want to include additional fields or settings that are not necessary for other uses.
