  • Key Concepts: 
    A selection condition is a type of ABAP Dictionary object used to define a set of values for a field in a database table. It is used to restrict the data that can be entered into the field, and can be used to ensure data integrity. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Selection conditions are created in the ABAP Dictionary and are assigned to fields in database tables. When a user attempts to enter data into the field, the selection condition will be checked to ensure that the value entered is valid. If the value is not valid, an error message will be displayed. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating selection conditions, it is important to consider how they will be used in the application. For example, if a field is used for entering customer names, it may be useful to create a selection condition that only allows valid customer names to be entered.
