ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a programming language created by the German software company SAP, first released in 1983, used for developing business applications within the SAP R/2 and later SAP R/3 and S/4HANA enterprise resource planning systems. ABAP was originally a purely procedural, report-generation language embedded within SAP's own runtime environment, and later versions, beginning with ABAP Objects introduced in 2000, added object-oriented programming features while retaining full compatibility with SAP's existing procedural code base.
