  • Key Concepts: 
    A comment line is a type of statement in the ABAP Runtime Environment of SAP software. It is used to add comments or notes to the code, which can be used to explain the purpose of the code or provide additional information. Comment lines are not executed by the system and are ignored by the compiler. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Comment lines are written in the ABAP language and can be added to any part of the code. They are preceded by an asterisk (*) and can be used to explain the purpose of a particular line of code or provide additional information. Comment lines can also be used to temporarily disable a line of code without deleting it. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    Comment lines should be used sparingly and only when necessary. They should not be used to replace meaningful variable names or other coding conventions. Additionally, comment lines should be kept up-to-date with any changes made to the code.
