ABAP
ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a programming language specifically designed for SAP’s software ecosystem. It serves as the backbone of SAP’s development environment, allowing developers to create and customize business applications within SAP systems. The language runs on the Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP), and its capabilities vary depending on which version of the ABAP Platform you’re using.
Think of it like this: ABAP is to SAP what SQL is to databases – it’s the native language that powers the system’s core functionality. The version of ABAP you can use depends on your SAP system’s platform, with newer platforms supporting more modern programming features.
