  • Key Concepts: 
    Dynamic type is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP software. It allows for the dynamic creation of data objects at runtime, which can be used to store and manipulate data. This feature is especially useful when dealing with large amounts of data, as it allows for more efficient memory management and faster processing.
    
    How to use it: 
    Dynamic type can be used in ABAP programs by declaring a dynamic type variable. This variable can then be used to store and manipulate data in the same way as any other data type. The dynamic type variable can also be used to create new objects at runtime, which can then be used to store and manipulate data.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using dynamic type, it is important to remember that the objects created at runtime are not persistent and will be lost when the program ends. Therefore, it is important to save any data stored in these objects before the program ends. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the objects created at runtime are properly managed and disposed of when no longer needed.
