SAP will run applications written using ABAP/4 .ABAP stands for Advanced Business Application Programming. Here /4 refers to Fourth generation language (4GLs) first developed in the 1980s.
- Its a high-level programming language created by the Germansoftware company SAP AG.
- It supports object-oriented programming which means it support object features likeEncapsulation, Polymorphism and single inheritance.
All ABAP programs should start with 'Y' or 'Z'. This is a rule imposed by SAP. SAP reserves all the other programs that start with A-X as standard programs. Users are allowed to create programs starting with Y or Z.
A-X : STANDARD PROGRAM
Y-Z : CUSTOM GENERATED PROGRAM
Generally we create program adding functionality to existing standard program.
For standalone programs we use ABAP editor. The t-code for it is SE38. T-code stands for transaction code which provide a short cut key for easy access.
There are around more than 70 standard t-code. We can also create our own t-code that we will see later.
Some of t-codes are :
SE38 : ABAP EDITOR
SE11 : DATA DICTIONARY
SE16 : DATA BROWSER
SE37 : FUNCTION BUILDER
SE93 : MAINTAIN TRANSACTION
