• Key Concepts: 
  Class-based exception is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP that allows developers to create and manage exceptions in a structured way. It provides a way to define and handle exceptions in an object-oriented manner, allowing for better control and flexibility. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use class-based exception, developers must first define the exception class. This is done by creating a subclass of the CX_ROOT class and adding the relevant attributes and methods. Once the class is defined, it can be used to raise exceptions in the code. The exception can then be handled using the TRY-CATCH statement. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining an exception class, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included in the attributes. This will make it easier to identify and debug any issues that may arise. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all exceptions are properly handled using the TRY-CATCH statement.
