• Key Concepts: 
  Dynamic selection is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows users to dynamically select data from a database table. It enables users to create and execute dynamic selections based on user-defined criteria, such as a specific date range or a certain value in a field. The dynamic selection feature also allows users to save their selections for future use. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the dynamic selection feature, users must first define the criteria for their selection. This can be done by selecting the fields they want to include in the selection and setting the criteria for each field. Once the criteria have been defined, users can execute the selection and view the results. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating dynamic selections, it is important to remember that only fields that are included in the selection will be displayed in the results. Therefore, it is important to include all relevant fields in the selection. Additionally, users should consider saving their selections for future use, as this will save time when running similar selections in the future.
