This revised edition provides a learn-by-doing tutorial with real-world business examples for programming in today's most powerful client-server environment. From the basics of tables, displays, loops, and conditional operators to tuning and troubleshooting techniques to enhancing system performance, this tutorial is a must for anyone developing in the SAP environment.
Developing SAP's R 3 Applications with ABAP is the official and complete guide to the ABAP programming language. Written by two ABAP developers at SAP, this book is required reading for programmers, consultants, and IS managers who are using the R/3 system now, or evaluating it for purchase. Understand language basics, report-writing, and transaction-writing. Comprehensive, straightforward coverage shows you how to write code, build screens and window interfaces, create Dictonary definitions, produce library functions, and design your own client/server applications. Harness the power and flexibility of the ABAP language. Use the ABAP Development Workbench. Understand elementary and dynamic language constructs. Manipulate database tables, internal tables, and their interaction. Build data retrieval programs with Logical Databases. Create dialog programs. Use Remote Function Call (RFC) and OLE Automation to share data with commercial software. You'll also find valuable coding examples, a thorough exploration of the ABAP QUERY function, a discussion of teamworking methods in the distributed environment, and an explanation of R/3 system architecture. |
