• Key Concepts: 
  Incremental conversion is a process in the ABAP Dictionary of SAP that allows for the conversion of existing data from one data type to another. This process is used when a field in a database table needs to be changed from one data type to another, but the existing data needs to be preserved. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use incremental conversion, the user must first create a new field in the database table with the desired data type. Then, the user must select the “Incremental Conversion” option in the ABAP Dictionary. This will open a dialog box where the user can select the source and target fields, as well as any additional parameters needed for the conversion. Once all of the parameters have been set, the user can click “Convert” to begin the conversion process. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using incremental conversion, it is important to make sure that all of the parameters are set correctly. If any of the parameters are incorrect, it could lead to data loss or corruption. Additionally, it is important to make sure that there is enough space in the target field for all of the data from the source field.
