Hi.,

The % does not mean anything.

Basically SAP permits us to declare data variables starting with % sign.

That's all.

Cheers,

Aditya

% character can be used in naming convention, so it is used by some programmers to name elements variable etc

% has no special meaning in ABAP. It's just that the variable is called "%data_selected", for example. This is a convention often used to denote system type variables.
