  • Key Concepts: 
    Iteration is a programming concept in the ABAP Runtime Environment of SAP. It is used to execute a set of instructions multiple times until a certain condition is met. It is used to process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In ABAP, iteration is implemented using the LOOP statement. The LOOP statement defines the start and end of the loop, as well as the condition that must be met for the loop to terminate. The instructions within the loop are then executed until the condition is met. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using iteration, it is important to ensure that the condition specified in the LOOP statement will eventually be met, otherwise the loop will never terminate. It is also important to ensure that the instructions within the loop are not too complex, as this can lead to performance issues.
