  • Key Concepts: 
    An unnamed data object is a type of data object in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA). It is a temporary data object that is created and used within a program, but does not have a name. It is used to store data that is only needed for the duration of the program. 
    
    How to use it: 
    An unnamed data object can be created in an ABAP program by using the DATA statement. The syntax for this statement is DATA  TYPE . The data type can be any valid ABAP data type, such as CHAR, INT, or DEC. Once the unnamed data object has been created, it can be used within the program just like any other data object. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating an unnamed data object, it is important to remember that it will only exist for the duration of the program. If the data needs to be stored for longer than that, it should be stored in a named data object instead.
