    Single quotation marks can be used in various ways in SAP. They can be used to enter literal strings into fields, to indicate text strings in ABAP code, and to indicate text strings in search parameters. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When entering literal strings into fields, make sure that the single quotation marks are placed at the beginning and end of the string. This will ensure that the system takes the string as is and does not interpret it as a command or instruction.
