  • Key Concepts: 
    An enumerated object is a type of ABAP data object that stores a fixed set of values. It is used to define a list of possible values for a field in an ABAP program. The values are stored in the form of an internal table, and each value is assigned a unique numerical key. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Enumerated objects are used to define a list of possible values for a field in an ABAP program. The values are stored in the form of an internal table, and each value is assigned a unique numerical key. To use an enumerated object, the programmer must first create the object and then assign it to the field in the program. The programmer can then use the numerical key to access the value associated with that key. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating an enumerated object, it is important to ensure that all values are unique and that they are correctly assigned numerical keys. This will ensure that the correct value is accessed when using the numerical key. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all values are valid for the field they are being assigned to.
