• Key Concepts: 
  Object reference is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP that allows developers to refer to an object in the system without having to know its exact name or location. This makes it easier to access and manipulate objects in the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  Object references can be used in ABAP programs to refer to objects in the system. To create an object reference, the developer must first identify the object they want to refer to and then use the CREATE OBJECT REFERENCE statement. This statement takes two parameters: the name of the object and a reference variable that will be used to refer to it. The reference variable can then be used in other statements to access and manipulate the object.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an object reference, it is important to make sure that the reference variable is declared correctly. If it is not, then the program may not be able to access or manipulate the object correctly. It is also important to make sure that the object exists before attempting to create a reference for it.
