PREREQUISITE - IN ORDER TO TAKE THE ABAP COURSES YOU SHOULD HAVE PASSED A PROGRAMMING
LANGUAGE COURSE WITH OBJECT OREINTED CONCEP AND ANOTHER COURSE ON THE DATABASE
CONCEPTS. IN ADDITION TO THAT YOU MUST ALSO BE FAMILIAR WITH GENERAL PROGRAMMING
METHODOLOGIES.
THIS IS A SEREIS OF TWO PROGRAMMING COURSES. SAP ABAP PROGRAMMING – I, WHICH IS
DESCRIBED BELOW WILL BE OFERED IN FALL 2009. DURING SPRING 2010 SAP ABAP PROGRAMMING – II
WILL BE OFFERED.
GETTING STARTED: ABAP (ABAP = Advanced Business Application Programming)
SOME BRIEF ABAP HISTORY
ABAP
originated
from
an
assembler
macro
language
for
reporting
purposes
in
the
seventies.
ABAP evolved to an interpreted language for reporting and dialog programming in the mid-eighties, with compiler and VM
implemented
in
mainframe
assembler
as
part
of
the
SAP
R/2
system.
In the early and mid-nineties it was known as ABAP/4 and it became the programming language for all SAP R/3 applications with
the compiler and VM implemented in C as part of the SAP R/3 kernel.
In the late nineties it extended to a fully featured OO language and is now called ABAP Objects.
Over the past few decades, ABAP has proven itself as a programming language, with a powerful set of development tools and a
high level of maturity when it comes to enterprise-level applications.
ABAP: THE SAP NETWEAVER APPLICATION SERVER BUSINESS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
ABAP supports a hybrid programming model. You can use an object-oriented "OO" programming model based on classes and
interfaces, and you can use the more classic procedural and event-driven programming model based on function modules,
subroutines, dialog modules, and event blocks. Both models can be used in parallel. You can use classes inside classic processing
blocks or you can call classic procedures from methods.
USING ABAP
Being able to use ABAP effectively requires more than just knowledge of the keywords. As a programmer, you need to have a
basic understanding of the architecture of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP and how specific fundamental concepts
are implemented in ABAP and its infrastructure. The aim of this SAP NetWeaver Developer's Guide is to enable you to use the

possibilities of ABAP and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP as effectively as possible. It is to provide you with
guidelines on how best to solve certain standard tasks, which are part of any business programming.
