ABAP program is a combination of executable and non-executable statements. Every executable statement in ABAP starts with a keyword and ends with a period(.).

The value of the literal can’t be changed. The fixed values assigned to a constant can also consider as literals. There are two types of literals […]
What is Constant? Constants are named objects that are used to store a fixed value and the value is fixed during program execution from begining to ending. The difference between constants and variables are, variables value can change any time however the constant value is fixed and can’t be changed. Constants are similar to variables […]
What is Variable? Variable are named data objects that refers to the memory location allocated during the program execution for processing. Variable contains data and act as a referring name for the data. We can modify data, change data, clear data or apply operations on the data with help of the variable. Each variable should […]
