• Key Concepts: 
  Page block is a memory management component in SAP that helps to manage the memory of an application. It is used to store and manage data in a structured way, allowing for efficient access and retrieval of data. Page blocks are used to store data in a hierarchical structure, with each page block containing multiple pages. Each page can contain multiple records, and each record can contain multiple fields. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Page blocks are used to store and manage data in an efficient manner. To use page blocks, the application must first create a page block structure. This structure consists of multiple pages, each containing multiple records. Each record can contain multiple fields, which can be used to store data. Once the page block structure is created, the application can then access and retrieve data from the page blocks. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a page block structure, it is important to consider the size of the data that will be stored in the page blocks. If the data is too large, it may not fit into the available memory space. Additionally, it is important to consider how often the data will be accessed and retrieved from the page blocks, as this will affect how efficiently the application can access and retrieve data from them.
