• Key Concepts: 
  Polymorphism is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows for the same code to be used for different types of objects. In SAP, polymorphism is used in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) to allow for the same code to be used for different types of objects, such as classes, interfaces, and methods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use polymorphism in SAP, you must first create a class or interface that contains the code you want to use. This code can then be used by other classes or interfaces that are related to the original class or interface. For example, if you have a class called “MyClass” that contains a method called “myMethod”, you can use this method in other classes or interfaces that are related to “MyClass”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using polymorphism in SAP, it is important to remember that the code you write must be generic enough to be used by different types of objects. This means that you should avoid writing code that is specific to a certain type of object. Additionally, it is important to ensure that your code is well-structured and easy to read so that other developers can understand it easily.
