• Key Concepts: 
  Generic typing is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP software. It allows for the definition of data types that can be used to store different types of data in a single variable. This makes it easier to manage and manipulate data within the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Generic typing can be used to define a data type that can store different types of data. This is done by creating a generic type and then assigning it to a variable. The variable can then be used to store different types of data, such as numbers, strings, and dates. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using generic typing, it is important to remember that the data type must be defined before the variable can be used. This means that if you want to store different types of data in the same variable, you must first define the generic type and then assign it to the variable.
