• Key Concepts: 
  A selection table is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP software. It is used to define a set of values that can be used to filter data in a report or program. Selection tables are used to limit the amount of data that is returned from a query, making it easier to find the information you need. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Selection tables can be created in the ABAP Runtime Environment by defining a set of values that will be used to filter the data. This can be done by entering the values manually or by importing them from an external source. Once the selection table is created, it can be used in reports and programs to limit the amount of data returned. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating selection tables, it is important to ensure that all of the values are valid and that they are correctly formatted. This will help ensure that the data returned is accurate and up-to-date. Additionally, it is important to keep selection tables up-to-date as changes in the data may require changes to the selection table.
