SAP ABAP
The German software company SAP developed a high-level programming language called SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). Within the SAP environment, ABAP is mostly used for creating customised reports, interfaces, upgrades, and forms. Here are a few crucial elements of SAP ABAP.
Data Dictionary
Developers may design and manage database objects including tables, views, data components, and domains with the help of ABAP’s powerful data dictionary.
Reports
Data retrieval and display from the SAP system are common uses for ABAP reports. The ABAP List Viewer (ALV) can be used to design these reports for improved appearance.
Dialogue Programmes
ABAP facilitates the development of dialogue programmes, which are interactive applications. These applications include fields and screens for user interaction.
Interfaces
SAP and other systems can communicate data using interfaces created with ABAP. Web services, remote function calls (RFC), and file input/output are examples of common techniques.
SAP HANA and S/4HANA
ABAP has advanced to take advantage of in-memory computing and provide improved capabilities for real-time data processing since the release of SAP HANA and the S/4HANA suite.
