• Key Concepts: 
  A conversion constructor is a special type of constructor in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) of SAP. It is used to convert an existing object into a new object of a different type. This is done by copying the data from the existing object into the new object. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The conversion constructor is used when you need to convert an existing object into a new object of a different type. To do this, you must first create the new object and then call the conversion constructor with the existing object as an argument. The conversion constructor will then copy the data from the existing object into the new object. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using a conversion constructor, it is important to remember that only the data from the existing object will be copied into the new object. Any methods or properties associated with the existing object will not be copied over.
