  • Key Concepts: 
    A class in SAP is a type of object that is used to store and manage data. It is a template for creating objects that have the same attributes and methods. Classes are used in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) to define the structure of an object, such as its attributes, methods, and events. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Classes are used to create objects that can be used in programs. To create a class, you must first define its attributes and methods. Once the class is defined, you can create objects from it by instantiating the class. The objects created from the class will have the same attributes and methods as the class. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a class, it is important to consider how it will be used in programs. Think about what attributes and methods are necessary for the object to perform its intended function. Also, consider how the object will interact with other objects in the program.
