SAP ABAP
SAP developed a programming language called SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) for creating business applications within the SAP environment. The main purpose of ABAP is to create and modify SAP applications, including ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems.
Here are a few crucial elements of SAP ABAP:
Data Dictionary: The data dictionary offered by ABAP enables developers to specify and control the tables, structures, and other data elements used in SAP applications.
Reports: ABAP is frequently utilized in the creation of reports for the study and display of data. Developers can create customized reports and retrieve data from SAP databases using ABAP.
Dialog Programming: ABAP facilitates the development of SAP application user interfaces. Screens, input forms, and dialog boxes can all be designed by developers to make user interaction easier.
Function Modules: ABAP enables the development of reusable function modules, which are code segments that carry out particular operations. A SAP system can call these modules from several places.
Batch Data Communication (BDC): ABAP facilitates batch data transfers between external systems and SAP. For large-scale data transfers or updates, this is helpful.
ALV (ABAP List Viewer): ABAP offers facilities for generating dynamic, interactive lists (tables) that present data in an approachable way.
SAP script and Smart Forms: ABAP can be used to design and modify forms that are used to print documents like purchase orders and invoices.
