• Key Concepts: 
  An input parameter is a value that is passed to a program or function module in SAP. It is used to control the behavior of the program or function module and can be used to customize the output of the program or function module. In the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment, input parameters are used to control the execution of programs and function modules. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Input parameters can be used to customize the output of a program or function module. To use an input parameter, you must first define it in the program or function module. This is done by declaring the parameter in the source code of the program or function module. Once defined, you can pass a value for the parameter when calling the program or function module. The value of the parameter will then be used to control the execution of the program or function module. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining an input parameter, it is important to specify a default value for it. This will ensure that if no value is passed for the parameter when calling the program or function module, then a default value will be used instead. This can help prevent unexpected behavior when calling a program or function module with no input parameters.
