Using Contexts in ABAP ProgramsLocate this document in the navigation structure

 Contexts are obsolete and should not be used. Contexts were introduced in Release 4.0 for high-performance access to frequently required data. Since the introduction of ABAP Objects for Release 4.5, contexts have not been developed further. Since Release 6.40, contexts can be replaced by shared objects .

The following sections explain how to use contexts in your ABAP programs. As with logical databases, you will normally only need to use contexts supplied by SAP.

Finding and Displaying a Context

Creating an Instance of a Context

Supplying Context Instances with Key Values

Querying Data from Context Instances
