• Key Concepts: 
  A conditional operator is a type of operator used in SAP ABAP programming language. It is used to evaluate a condition and then execute a certain action based on the result of the evaluation. The conditional operator can be used to compare two values, check if a value is within a certain range, or check if a value is equal to another value. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The conditional operator is used in an IF statement. The IF statement evaluates the condition and then executes the action based on the result of the evaluation. For example, if you want to check if a value is within a certain range, you can use the following syntax: IF  THEN .

  When using the conditional operator, it is important to remember that the condition must be enclosed in parentheses. This ensures that the condition is evaluated correctly. Additionally, it is important to remember that the action must be enclosed in braces. This ensures that the action is executed correctly.
