  Key Concepts: 
  An untyped literal is a character string in ABAP that is not associated with a data type. It is used to store values that are not intended to be used in calculations or comparisons. It is also known as an “untyped literal” or “untyped character string”. 
  
  How to use it: 
  An untyped literal can be used in ABAP programs to store values that are not intended to be used in calculations or comparisons. For example, it can be used to store a text string, such as a customer name, or a date. The untyped literal can then be used in the program to display the value on the screen or in a report. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using an untyped literal, it is important to remember that the value stored in the literal is not associated with any data type. This means that any calculations or comparisons performed on the value will not be accurate. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the value stored in the literal is valid for the purpose it is being used for.
