• Key Concepts: 
  A deep table is a type of internal table in SAP ABAP that stores data in a hierarchical structure. It is used to store data that has multiple levels of nesting, such as a tree structure. The deep table is similar to a standard internal table, but it can store more complex data structures. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Deep tables are used in SAP ABAP programs to store and manipulate data that has multiple levels of nesting. To create a deep table, you must first define the structure of the table using the DATA statement. This statement defines the fields and their data types that will be stored in the deep table. Once the structure is defined, you can use the INSERT statement to add data to the deep table. You can also use the SELECT statement to retrieve data from the deep table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with deep tables, it is important to remember that they are not indexed like standard internal tables. This means that you cannot use the INDEX addition when accessing or manipulating data in a deep table. Additionally, you should be aware that deep tables can only store up to 8 levels of nesting.
