SAP - ABAP

What is ABAP?

ABAP is one of the many application-specific fourth-generation languages (4GLs) first

developed in the 1980s. It was originally the report language for SAP R/2, platform
that enabled large corporations to build mainframe business applications for
materials management and financial and management accounting.

ABAP used to be an abbreviation of Allgemeiner Berichtsaufbereitungsprozessor, the

German meaning of "generic report preparation processor", but was later renamed to
Advanced Business Application Programming. ABAP was one of the first languages to
include the concept of Logical Databases (LDBs), which provides a high level of
abstraction from the basic database level.

The ABAP programming language was originally used by developers to develop the
SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP
applications � customers can develop custom reports and interfaces with ABAP
programming. The language is fairly easy to learn for programmers but it is not a
tool for direct use by non-programmers. Good programming skills, including
knowledge of relational database design and preferably also of object oriented
concepts are required to create ABAP programs.
