• Key Concepts: 
  HIDE area is a memory area in the ABAP runtime environment that is used to store data temporarily. It is used to store data that is not needed for the current program execution, but may be needed later. The HIDE area is also used to store data that is shared between different programs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The HIDE area can be accessed using the ABAP statement EXPORT TO MEMORY. This statement allows you to store data in the HIDE area and retrieve it later using the IMPORT FROM MEMORY statement. The data stored in the HIDE area is available until the end of the current program execution. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the EXPORT TO MEMORY and IMPORT FROM MEMORY statements, it is important to remember that the data stored in the HIDE area is only available until the end of the current program execution. Therefore, it is important to make sure that any data stored in the HIDE area is retrieved before the program ends.
