  Key Concepts: 
  An extract dataset is a type of data set used in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a collection of data that is extracted from an SAP system and stored in a file or database table. The extract dataset can be used for reporting, analysis, and other purposes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The extract dataset can be created using the ABAP Extract Data Set (AEDS) tool. This tool allows users to select the data they want to extract from the SAP system and store it in a file or database table. The AEDS tool also allows users to define the structure of the extract dataset, such as the fields and data types. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an extract dataset, it is important to consider the size of the dataset and how it will be used. If the dataset is too large, it may take a long time to process or cause performance issues. It is also important to consider how often the dataset will be updated and if there are any security requirements for accessing the data.
