  • Key Concepts: 
    Value semantics is a concept in the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) of SAP software. It is a way of representing data values in memory, and it is used to ensure that data values are consistent and accurate. Value semantics is based on the idea that each data value has an associated type, and that the type of the data value determines how it is stored and manipulated. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Value semantics can be used to ensure that data values are consistent and accurate. When a value is assigned to a variable, the type of the value is checked against the type of the variable. If the types do not match, an error will be thrown. This ensures that only valid values are stored in memory. Additionally, when a value is manipulated, the type of the value is taken into account to ensure that the result is valid. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When working with value semantics, it is important to be aware of the types of data values being used. This will help ensure that only valid values are stored in memory and manipulated correctly. Additionally, it is important to be aware of any restrictions or limitations imposed by the type of data being used.
