Introduction:

ABAP - ADVANCED BUSINESS APPLICATION PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. It is 4th generation language and it is a proprietary language of SAP.

Summary:
Here you will learn about abap and abap concept very easy manner within a day.

Steps:
TRANSACTION CODE:- It is flow of screens. Every screen is called a session. Maximum number of sessions allowed 6.It is also called T-Code. In short we can say that it is a short form or short cut key to execute a program. ABAP is not case sensitive. We can use upper case or lower case or combination also. But is space sensitive. All user defined object names in SAP should start with either Z or Y. If we dont start object name with either Z or Y it will ask for access key. Hence we can say that as a user we dont have the access to create an object name without starting with Z or Y. All statements in ABAP should be terminated with a period (full stop or dot).There are 5 types of programs available in ABAP. They are . 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Executable Program Function Group Modulepool Program Include Program Subroutinepool Program.

To create all these programs T-Code is SE38. It is also called ABAP Editor. EXECUTABLE PROGRAM:- A program which takes input from the user and gives output is called Executable Program or Report Program. Input screen of report program is called SELECTION-SCREEN. Output screen of report program is called LIST. By default for every report program Selection-screen number will be 1000. Whenever you login into SAP first screen you get is called SAP Easy access screen. In that screen top one is called Menu bar. After that we have standard Tool bar and after Application tool bar. On Standard tool bar we have command filed where we enter Transaction code.

If you want to create any of the above 5 types of programs, in command prompt type SE38 T-Code and press enter. You will go to ABAP Editor Screen. There you enter a program name starting with either Z or Y. For example just say ZSAMPLE. After entering the program name press create button. Immediately you will get next screen where you have to enter title. Title is the meaningful description to the program. That is what is the purpose for which you are writing the program.
