List Of Important System Variables

In ABAP many times one needs to check certain system variables. Based on the result the
program may branch to the desired location. For example while running the ABAP program one
may need to check the name of the user, based on the user name the program may branch to a
certain location. Also the system date and time is stored in certain system variables. he
following chart gives the names of the variables.
