Can anyone clearly explain the concept of Escaping Host Variable in ABAP and that why and in which situations we should use it?

Host variables are part of the "new" SQL syntax in ABAP. There are lots of new functions available in newer releases, but the interpreter needs to distinguish host- (data from the application server) and server (data from the database) variables.
