• Key Concepts: 
  Large objects (LOBs) are a type of data object in the SAP ABAP runtime environment. They are used to store large amounts of data, such as images, documents, and other multimedia files. LOBs are stored in the database and can be accessed through the ABAP runtime environment.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use large objects, you must first create a database table that contains the LOB fields. This table must be created using the ABAP Data Dictionary. Once the table is created, you can then use the ABAP runtime environment to access and manipulate the data stored in the LOB fields.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When working with large objects, it is important to remember that they can take up a lot of space in the database. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you only store data that is necessary for your application. Additionally, it is important to ensure that you have adequate storage space available for your LOBs.
