  Key Concepts: 
  Month date literal is a type of ABAP data object used to store a date value in the form of a month and year. It is represented by the keyword ‘DATE’ followed by two digits for the month and four digits for the year. For example, DATE022020 represents February 2020. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Month date literals are used in ABAP programs to store and manipulate dates. They can be used in comparison operations, arithmetic operations, and other date-related operations. For example, you can use them to compare two dates or add a certain number of months to a date. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using month date literals, make sure that you use the correct format (DATE followed by two digits for the month and four digits for the year). Also, be aware that month date literals are not time-zone aware, so you should take this into account when performing calculations with them.
