ABAP is an application specific, fourth generation programming language which was initially developed as a reporting language for SAP R/2 and later to develop the platform for SAP R/3.  ABAP cannot be used by non-programmers because good knowledge of relational database, object oriented programming and good programming skills are required for creating ABAP programs. It is not a module of SAP but it is programming language which was designed by SAP AG.

ABAP has three layers- presentation layer(also known as  GUI or graphic user interface), application layer where ABAP programs run and third one is  database layer where all the data is stored, indexed and retrieved according to the requirement of the program written by the programmer. The main component of ABAP is its database interface which can turn open SQL commands into native SQL commands which means programmers are allowed to write commands in database independent syntax which are turned in proper commands understood by the used database by database interface. This makes programming and data retrieval easy and smooth.  Even ABAP programs use SAP database storage rather than separate external files, which are used in Java or C++.

There are many opportunities for a professional who wants to make a career as an ABAP developer. The ideal qualification for becoming SAP ABAP programmer is technical bachelor’s degree like B.E., B.Tech., B.Sc IT or a diploma in IT. At some places a master’s degree or diploma in business administration or management is also required.  However, the most essential skill for making a career in SAP ABAP programming is sharp and logical programming skills along with clear  understanding of all the concepts of object oriented programming and database management.  Although the ability to write efficient, compact and complete program is a must for an ABAP programmer, confidence and persistence are equally important for an ABAP programmer to stay in this vibrant market.

Now ABAP is supported by latest Netweaver-development platform of SAP, which means that ABAP will be used as a programming language for SAP’s basic functions and other applications in coming days. This makes SAP ABAP programmer a valuable asset for any organization who can contribute immensely in improving ERP support for better functioning of the organization.
