• Key Concepts: 
  Filter stream is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It allows users to filter data from a database table or view and store it in a separate stream. This stream can then be used for further processing, such as sorting, filtering, or joining with other data sources. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the filter stream feature, users must first create a filter stream object in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This object contains the necessary information about the data source and the filter criteria. Once the object is created, users can then use the filter stream to retrieve data from the database table or view. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a filter stream object, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included. This includes the name of the database table or view, the filter criteria, and any other parameters that may be required. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the filter criteria are valid and that they will return only the desired results.
