  A static class is a type of class in the ABAP Runtime Environment of SAP. It is a special type of class that can only be instantiated once and is used to store data that is shared between multiple objects. It is also used to define global constants and variables that can be accessed by all objects in the system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Static classes are used to store data that needs to be shared between multiple objects. They are also used to define global constants and variables that can be accessed by all objects in the system. To create a static class, you must first create a class in the ABAP Runtime Environment and then add the keyword “static” before the class name. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a static class, it is important to remember that it can only be instantiated once. This means that any changes made to the static class will affect all objects that use it. It is also important to note that static classes cannot be inherited from other classes.
