• Key Concepts: 
  Comparison type is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows users to compare two different versions of a program or object. It can be used to compare the current version of a program or object with an earlier version, or to compare two different versions of the same program or object. The comparison type feature can be used to identify differences between the two versions, and to make changes to the current version based on the differences.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the comparison type feature, first select the two versions of the program or object that you want to compare. Then, select the “Compare” option from the menu. This will open a window that displays the differences between the two versions. You can then make changes to the current version based on these differences.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using comparison type, it is important to remember that only changes made in the current version will be reflected in the comparison results. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all changes have been made in the current version before running a comparison. Additionally, it is important to remember that comparison type only compares code and not data, so any changes made to data will not be reflected in the comparison results.
