ABAP is a business programming language. ABAP is a high level programming language created by SAP. ABAP is considered one of many fourth generation languages and it was developed in early 1980s. ABAP is an acronym for 'Advanced Business Application Programming' (in German it means Allgemeiner Berichtsaufbereitungsprozessor). ABAP is used by SAP to develop SAP R/3 applications. ABAP is very easy to learn. However to start programming with ABAP programmers are expected to have some basic knowledge of data bases, other programming knowledge and preferably also some basic principles of Object oriented concepts. ABAP programs are stored in a database unlike with other popular programming languages like C++ or JAVA where the programs are stored as files on the computer. The ABAP environment (syntax checking, compiling and executing) is a part of SAP Basis component. All SAP data and programs run on an SAP system. A SAP system consists of one or more application servers, data base and client terminals. A typical SAP landscape will have 3 systems for Development, Testing and Production.
