• Key Concepts: 
  Prefix namespace is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows developers to create unique names for objects in the system. This helps to avoid conflicts between objects with the same name. The prefix namespace is a combination of two parts: a prefix and a namespace. The prefix is a unique identifier for the object, while the namespace is used to group objects together. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the prefix namespace, developers must first create a unique prefix for their object. This can be done by using the ABAP keyword “PREFIX” followed by an alphanumeric string. Once the prefix has been created, developers can then assign it to their object using the ABAP keyword “NAMESPACE” followed by the prefix. This will ensure that the object is uniquely identified in the system and will not conflict with any other objects with the same name. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a prefix, it is important to make sure that it is unique and not already in use by another object in the system. It is also important to make sure that the prefix is easy to remember and does not contain any special characters or spaces.
