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, a 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, German for
"generic report preparation processor", but was later renamed to the
English 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(s).The ABAP 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[opinion] for programmers but it is not a tool for direct
use by non-programmers. Knowledge of relational database design and
preferably also of object-oriented concepts is necessary to create ABAP
programs.ABAP remains as the language for creating programs for
the client-server R/3 system, which SAP first released in 1992. As
computer hardware evolved through the 1990s, more and more of SAP's
applications and systems were written in ABAP. By 2001, all but the most
basic functions were written in ABAP. In 1999, SAP released an
object-oriented extension to ABAP called ABAP Objects, along with R/3
release 4.6.Call 08060595019 for more information
