  Key Concepts: 
  The chaining operator is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It allows for the execution of multiple operations in a single statement, which can be used to reduce the amount of code needed to perform a task. The chaining operator is represented by the "->" symbol. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The chaining operator is used to link multiple operations together in a single statement. For example, if you wanted to assign a value to a variable and then display it on the screen, you could use the chaining operator to do this in one line of code: 
  VARIABLE = VALUE->DISPLAY. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the chaining operator, it is important to remember that each operation must be separated by a comma. Additionally, the order of operations matters; the operations will be executed in the order they are written.
