What is Literal? Literal is a data object that specifies character like values. Literal defined in the source code of the program. Literals are fully defined by their values. 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 […]
Local variables meaning is self-explanatory. These variables are very local to the program or function or include etc,.
The variables life time is until end of the program or function or include etc, execution where the variable was originally defined.
ABAP programs are written with individual sentences (statements) and each sentence or line of code in the ABAP program is called as ABAP statement. In other words, statement is a combination of keywords, operands, operators, and expressions and so on.
ABAP program is set of processing blocks. Each processing block contains one or more statements. The Syntax of ABAP programming language consists of the following –
