• Key Concepts: 
  Lazy update is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP that allows for the updating of database tables without having to read the entire table. This feature is useful when only a few records need to be updated, as it reduces the amount of time and resources needed to complete the task. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use lazy update, you must first identify which records need to be updated. Once you have identified the records, you can use the ABAP Runtime Environment's UPDATE statement to update them. The UPDATE statement will only update the records that have been identified, and not the entire table. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using lazy update, it is important to ensure that all of the records that need to be updated are identified correctly. If any records are missed, they will not be updated and could cause errors in your system. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the data being updated is valid and correct.
