• Key Concepts: 
  Substructure is a term used in the SAP BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment. It is a type of data structure that is used to store and organize data in a hierarchical manner. It consists of a set of nodes, each of which can contain other nodes or data elements. The nodes are connected to each other in a tree-like structure, with the root node at the top and the leaves at the bottom. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Substructures can be used to store and organize data in an efficient manner. They are often used to store large amounts of data, such as customer information or product catalogs. To use a substructure, you must first define the structure of the nodes and their relationships. Then, you can add data elements to each node and connect them together in the desired hierarchy. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a substructure, it is important to consider how the data will be accessed and used. This will help you determine the best way to organize the nodes and their relationships. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes to the data will affect the structure of the substructure. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Substructures are similar to other types of data structures, such as linked lists and trees. They are also related to database tables, which are used to store and organize data in a relational manner.
