• Key Concepts: 
  Measuring section is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows users to measure the performance of their ABAP programs. It provides detailed information about the execution time of each program, as well as the number of database accesses and other system resources used. This information can be used to identify and optimize performance bottlenecks in ABAP programs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the measuring section, users must first activate it in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This can be done by setting the parameter “measuring_section” to “on” in the system profile. Once activated, users can run their ABAP programs and view the performance data in the measuring section. The data can be viewed in a graphical or tabular format, and can be filtered by program name, date range, or other criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the measuring section, it is important to remember that it only measures the performance of ABAP programs. Other system resources such as database accesses are not measured. Additionally, it is important to note that the measuring section does not measure the performance of individual lines of code within an ABAP program.
