• Key Concepts: 
  A numeric literal is a type of constant in SAP ABAP programming language. It is a number that is written directly into the source code of a program and does not need to be declared or assigned to a variable. Numeric literals can be either integers or floating-point numbers. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Numeric literals are used in SAP ABAP programs to represent fixed values. They are used in calculations, comparisons, and other operations. For example, if you want to add two numbers together, you can use a numeric literal instead of declaring a variable and assigning it a value. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using numeric literals in SAP ABAP programs, it is important to remember that they must be written in the correct format. For example, an integer must be written as an integer (e.g., 10) and a floating-point number must be written as a decimal (e.g., 10.5).
