SAP was founded in 1972 by five people: Wellenreuther, Hopp,Hector, Plattner and Tchira.
Wellenreuther , while working at IBM , developed a financialaccounting package running in batch for an IBM customer Naturin. SAP bought rights from Naturin and started to design andimplement the real-time finance system as a standard package basedon Wellenreuther s experience in the application. They sold thefirst copy of the standard system to ICI.
Simultaneously, they developed a Materials management system asa bespoke software for ICI by reserving all property rights.

SAP sets new standards for the universal use of standard software with its R/3system. The R/3 System allows the complete integration of business and data
processing based on Progressive development techniques.
The components of the R/3 system are characterized by its comprehensive businessfunctionality coupled with the latest technology. The integration of the applicationsguarantees transparency of all functions in the system and thus in the entireenterprise.
The R/3 system is based on a complete business model covering the followingapplication areas: Financial accounting, controlling, assets management,
material management, production planning and control, sales logistics,quality management, plant maintenance, project management, servicemanagement, human resource management, office communication, workflowfunctions, industry solutions, open information warehouse.

After SAP installed , Analysts experienced in BusinessProcess Re-engineering (BPR) , who are alsoconfiguration experts, customize the modules to meet theCorporation's need, or help the corporation change it's
business practices to achieve the most efficiency out of SAP.This configuration does not usually involveprogrammers, but is instead done by Business Analysts.When the configuration process is nearing completion,the programmers ( Called ABAPers - specialists inABAP/4) are brought in to extend any part of SAP thatcan not be configured to meet the needs of thecorporation.

Client / Server Principles
According to SAP terminology, a service is one that is offered by asoftware component (software-Oriented view). Such a component canconsist of aprocess (see message server process) or a group Of processes, which is then calledserver for the corresponding service.Software components, that utilize the service, are calledclients . Suchclients can also be servers for Certain servicesOften it can be a computer that is understood asserver , one on whichsoftware components run that Offer certain services (hardware- orientedview).The SAP system is understood as the totality of all software componentsthat are allocated to the same database.

Consists of the SAP R/3 Graphical User Interface Program (SAP-GUI)
Supported by PC, Mac or workstationsProvides the user with the screens ( ie. Menus, toolbars, and function keys) required

The ABAP/4 Development Workbench providesaccess to Sap's development tools which cover theentire software development cycle.
These tools can be used both for customer-specificdevelopments and enhancements to R/3 applications
supplied by SAP.All applications created with the ABAP/4
Development Workbench can run without further modifications on any platforms, database systems andgraphical user interfaces supported by SAP.

Development Class
To create a program, you first specify a development class.Development classes are containers for objects in the same area. Acommon transport route is defined for all objects within adevelopment class. Customer-specific development classes beginwith Y or Z.
If you are creating a test object which you do not want to betransported, choose local private objects. The development class isthen set to $TMP.
You then specify the name of the new program. To proceed, clickthe radio button Program and choose Display .

Development Class
If you are creating a object which needs to be transported toproduction System from Development System, then choose theappropriate development class and then Click Save, then thesystem will ask for the request No under which your program
needs to stored. At this point you can either specify the transportrequest number provided by system administrators or create your own request.

Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench
objects. There are local and transportable Workbench requests.(Local Workbench requests have the target system .)
The development class of the object and the transport routesettings in the Transport Management System determine whether changes are recorded in a local or a transportable Workbenchrequest .

ABAP/4 Interfaces Uses: When you use ABAP/4 Data interfaces, asequential dataset is generated in the sourcesystem . This is read into the target system by the
data transfer program and imported automaticallyinto the R/3 database using batch input, calltransaction or direct input.
ABAP/4 contains statements for theimplementation of Communication interfaces likeRFC/BAPI, OLE which typically connects R/3 withNon R/3 system for establishing a transactionover the Net.

As an ABAP Developer
Majority of the work during and after implementation of R/3 will be Report programming, Dialog programming,BDC, Enhancements using ABAP/4 ProgrammingLanguage.
In reporting you use the ABAP/4 Open SQL to read datafrom the R/3 database. A report consists of a selectionscreen, on which you define the dataset you wish todisplay, and a list, which displays the data itself. Ininteractive reporting, the user can navigate from the
(basic) list to details lists at runtime. Typically, reportsmerely read data from the database. However, it is alsopossible to make changes in the database using a report .

Dialog Programming In dialog programming you use the Screen Painter to createscreens and program the sequence in which they appear. Youwrite an ABAP/4 program (ABAP/4 module pool) for your screens. This is a collection of dialog modules which are calledby the flow logic of your screens. You use dialog programs for both reading and changing database tables.

Batch Data Communication (BDC)
Batch Data Communication (BDC) offers transferring of data intothe SAP System from other SAP Systems and non-SAP Systems(legacy systems).
For example, the data collection in some areas of your company isstill performed by a non-SAP system like VB-SQL or Java-Oracleetc. You can still consolidate all of your data in the SAP System byexporting the data from the other system and reading it into the SAPSystem with batch input.

SAP Scripts
SAP script is the tightly integrated text management system of the SAP R/3 System.
It will therefore be used for many different text-processing tasksall over the SAP System. Example:
SAP script is used for incorporating thecompany logo in forms sets. SAP Script can be used for printing the Sales order or thepurchase order in the company given pre printed format.

Enhancements
SAP offers a broad range of functionalitywithin its business application suite.
If standard applications do not offer some
of the functionality you need, You dont have to Panic!!
R/3 provides the flexibility to Add-on/Bolt-onany application to its standard functionalityThis facility is called Enhancement and called as User
Exits, Menu Exits, Screen Exits and Function Exits. Enhancement offers better alternative to theproblem-ridden modification approach .

ABAP/4 Syntax
An ABAP/4 program consists of individual statements.Each statement must end with a period.
The first word of a statement is known as the key word.
Words are separated from each other by at least one blank.
Statements can be indented.
Statements can extend over several lines.

You can concatenate several consecutive statements with anidentical first part into a chain statement.
When doing this, conclude the identical first part with a colon.After the colon, separate each concatenated part from the next witha comma.
Blanks can appear before and after the separators (colon, commaor period).
Overview of ABAP
Commenting a ABAP Statement You can insert comments into a program in two ways:
- An asterisk (*) in column 1 flags the whole lineas a comment.
- A quotation mark (") within a line flags theremainder of the line as a comment .

WRITE outputs the contents of a field or constant in theformat appropriate for the type.
Consecutive WRITE statements output data on the sameline. If there is no more space on one line, the outputcontinues on the next line.
SKIP generates blank lines.
