What is ABAP?

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a high level programming language created by the German software company SAP. It is currently positioned, alongside the more recently introduced Java, as the language for programming SAP's Web Application Server, part of its NetWeaver platform for building business applications. Its syntax is somewhat similar to COBOL.

History

ABAP is one of many application-specific fourth-generation languages (4GLs) first developed in the 1980s. It was originally the report language for SAP R/2, a platform that enabled large corporations to build mainframe business applications for materials management and financial and management accounting. ABAP used to be an abbreviation of Allgemeiner Berichtsaufbereitungsprozessor, the German meaning of "generic report preparation processor", but was later renamed to Advanced Business Application Programming. ABAP was one of the first languages to include the concept of Logical Databases (LDBs), which provides a high level of abstraction from the basic database level.

The ABAP programming language was originally used by developers to develop the SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP applications – customers can develop custom reports and interfaces with ABAP programming. The language is fairly easy to learn for programmers but it is not a tool for direct use by non-programmers. Good programming skills, including knowledge of relational database design and preferably also of object-oriented concepts, are required to create ABAP programs.

ABAP remains the language for creating programs for the client-server R/3 system, which SAP first released in 1992. As computer hardware evolved through the 1990s, more and more of SAP's applications and systems were written in ABAP. By 2001, all but the most basic functions were written in ABAP. In 1999, SAP released an object-oriented extension to ABAP called ABAP Objects, along with R/3 release 4.6.

SAP's most recent development platform, NetWeaver, supports both ABAP and Java.

Implementation

Where Does the ABAP Program Run?
All ABAP programs reside inside the SAP database. They are not stored in separate external files like Java or C++ programs. In the database all ABAP code exists in two forms: source code, which can be viewed and edited with the ABAP workbench, and "compiled" code ("generated" code is the more correct technical term), which is loaded and interpreted by the ABAP runtime system. Code generation happens implicitly when a unit of ABAP code is first invoked; it can also be requested explicitly, which is very useful in some situations, for example for mass regeneration of code after a release upgrade. If the source code is changed later or if one of the data objects accessed by the program has changed (e.g. fields were added to a database table), then the code is automatically regenerated.

ABAP programs run in the SAP application server, under control of the runtime system, which is part of the SAP kernel. The runtime system is responsible for processing ABAP statements, controlling the flow logic of screens and responding to events (such as a user clicking on a screen button). A key component of the ABAP runtime system is the Database Interface, which turns database-independent ABAP statements ("Open SQL") into statements understood by the underlying DBMS ("Native SQL"). The database interface handles all the communication with the relational database on behalf of ABAP programs; it also contains extra features such as buffering of frequently accessed data in the local memory of the application server.

SAP Basis

The ABAP language environment, including the syntax checking, code generation and runtime system, is part of the SAP Basis component. SAP Basis is the technological platform that supports the entire range of SAP applications, now typically implemented in the framework of the SAP Web Application Server. In that sense SAP Basis can be seen as the "operating system" on which SAP applications run. Like any operating system, SAP Basis contains both low-level services (for example memory management, database communication or servicing Web requests) and high-level tools for end users and administrators. These tools can be executables ("SAP kernel") running directly on the underlying operating system, transactions developed in ABAP, or Web-based interfaces.
SAP Basis also provides a layer of abstraction between the business applications and the operating system and database. This ensures that applications do not depend directly upon a specific server or database platform and can easily be ported from one platform to another.

SAP Basis currently runs on UNIX (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux), Microsoft Windows, IBM Series i (former iSeries, AS/400) and IBM zSeries (former S/390). Supported databases are DB2, Informix, MaxDB, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server (support for Informix was discontinued in SAP Basis release 7.00).

ABAP Objects in Release 6.20


1. New Class for Calculating with Time Stamps

2. New Variant PROVIDE FIELDS

3. Creating Objects from the XSLT Processor

4. Polymorphism and Object Services

5. Error Handling and Exceptions

6. New Methods for Ascertaining Type Attributes

7. Accessing Data References and Static Class Components in JavaScript

Modification 1

New Class for Calculating with Time Stamps

The class CL_ABAP_TSTMP was introduced for calculating with time stamps.


Modification 2

New Variant PROVIDE FIELDS

The PROVIDE FIELDS statement allows you to process internal tables without headers. The functions of the PROVIDE statement are therefore also available under ABAP Objects.

• Modification 3
  
  Creating Objects from the XSLT Processor
  
  It is possible to create objects and call class methods from the XSLT processor. Now only public methods are allowed, whereas previously you could also call private and protected methods.
  
  The transfer of parameters now supports all ABAP Elementary Types, any object references, as well as the generic types CSEQUENCE and XSEQUENCE. Previously, the types C, D, F, I, N, STRING, and T were supported.
  
  The transfer has been tightened, so that for the data types D and I only valid specifications are permitted. Value losses for type P are now caught. The values of types X and XSTRING are converted into the XML standard format BASE64.
  

Modification 4

Polymorphism and Object Services

* The uniqueness of object keys is now checked not only by class, but across the whole inheritance hierarchy. Additionally, the behavior of the following methods has been changed:
* The methods RELEASE and REFRESH_PERSISTENT behave polymorphically, so that objects of subclasses can also be handled.
* The methods GET_PERSISTENT and DELETE_PERSISTENTnow access a table of the root class first, to optimize the type determination. Because the type is now stored over several transactions, it can no longer be changed.
* By searching in the tables of the root class, the methods CREATE_PERSISTENT and CREATE_TRANSIENT now check whether the object key exists in another class of the inheritance hierarchy.


Modification 5

Error Handling and Exceptions

The Interfaces IF_ABAP_MESSAGE and IF_ABAP_SERIALIZABLE_OBJECT have been added to the class CX_ROOT, which is the global superclass for all exceptions. They format texts from classes, implemented by these interfaces, as Message Texts. You can use the GET_LONG_TEXT method to obtain the long text for the exception text.


Modification 6

New Methods for Ascertaining Type Attributes


Two new methods have been introduced for ascertaining type attributes at runtime (RTTI):

* The IS_READ_ONLY method ascertains whether a referenced data object is write-protected.
* The method APPLIES_TO_DATA_REF carries out a type check between the description object and the data object. This allows you to ascertain the compatibility of data objects.

Modification 7

Accessing Data References and Static Class Components in JavaScript


Binding JavaScript objects to ABAP Objects has been extended to allow you to access data reference variables and static components (attributes and methods) of classes. In bound internal tables, you can delete rows using the JS method deleteLines and the JS method append has been renamed appendLine.

Structure Enhancements in SAP Release 6.20

Since Release 3.0, customers have been able to make changes to SAP's ABAP Dictionary structures and tables using Customizing includes or appends. However, these changes can cause problems in programs with an active Unicode Check. For example, if a purely character-type structure is enhanced, it can lose its character-type nature and hence its Fragment View is changed.

For Release 6.20, it has therefore been made possible to classify Dictionary structures and tables, so that problems resulting from structure enhancements can be easily recognized and dealt with. This classification is used in the ABAP program check to indicate all parts of the source code that will cause problems with structure enhancements - that is, where structure enhancements will cause a syntax error or change program behavior. The Dictionary categories and their effect in ABAP programs are described in the chapter Structure Enhancements.
