It is now time to take our first look at an SAP ABAP program. We are going to fire up the SAP system and open up the ABAP Workbench. Now, just before we do this, lets quickly discuss the structure of an ABAP program.
As with many other programming languages, ABAP programs are normally structured into two parts. The first part of the program is what we consider to be the declaration section. This is where we define the data types, structures, tables, work area variables, and the individual fields that we want to use inside our programs. This is also where we would declare global variables that will be available throughout the individual subsections of our program.
When we create an ABAP program, we not only declare global variables but we have the option to declare variables that are only valid inside specific sections within our programs. These sections are commonly referred to as Internal Processing Blocks.
....
So, lets close this Overview menu and then we will step by step go through the different options and I will highlight the 4 or 5 major pieces of the ABAP Workbench that you will become familiar with and you will use as an ABAP developer.
The ABAP workbench
• ABAP Dictionary
• ABAP Editor
• Function Builder
• Menu Painter
• Object Navigator SE80.
So that more or less covers the main features of the ABAP workbench that we will interact with in this ABAP course. You will see in the SAP menu tree there are many, many other transactions that can be used to help develop your programs. But the ones we have just covered I would say covered about 90% to 95% of the development tools that you will use.
That brings us to the end of Module 1. I hope you have found this introduction to the SAP Development Environment useful and in the next module, Module 2, we are going to start off by looking at the ABAP Dictionary.
