ABAP, which stands for Advanced Business Application Programming, is a high-level programming

language developed by SAP. It's primarily used for developing business applications within the SAP
environment, particularly for customizing and extending existing SAP solutions or building entirely
new ones. ABAP is deeply integrated with SAP's NetWeaver Application Server and is a cornerstone
of SAP's software ecosystem.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

 Purpose:

ABAP was designed for business applications, focusing on data processing and supporting functions
like inventory management, customer relationship management, and financial accounting.

 SAP Integration:

It's the primary programming language for SAP's application server, meaning it's used to create,
customize, and extend SAP's own applications and those built by SAP customers.

 Object-Oriented:

ABAP has evolved to include object-oriented programming features, allowing for more modern and
flexible development practices.

 Cloud Development:

ABAP has adapted to support cloud development, with versions like "ABAP for Cloud Development"
and "ABAP for Key Users" tailored for building cloud-ready business applications.

 Key Features:

 Integrated database access.

 Internal tables for dynamic data handling.

 Support for both procedural and object-oriented programming.

 A comprehensive development environment (ABAP Workbench) with tools like the


ABAP Editor, ABAP Dictionary, and Screen Painter.

 ABAP in Practice:

 Customizing standard SAP applications (e.g., reports, transactions, user interfaces).

 Building entirely new business applications tailored to specific needs.

 Creating interfaces to connect SAP systems with other systems.

 Recent Developments:

ABAP is continuously evolving, with new features and capabilities for cloud development and
integration with AI.
