Sample answer
“In my internship at a local manufacturing company, I was tasked with improving the reporting process for inventory management. The existing ABAP report was slow and lacked detail. I rewrote the program using optimized SQL queries and modular coding practices, which reduced the report generation time by 60%. This experience taught me the importance of efficient coding practices and user feedback in developing effective ABAP solutions.”
