Getting Started: ABAP

Some Brief ABAP History

ABAP originated from an assembler macro language for reporting purposes in the seventies.

ABAP evolved to an interpreted language for reporting and dialog programming in the mid-eighties, with compiler and VM implemented in mainframe assembler as part of the SAP R/2 system.

In the early and mid-nineties it was known as ABAP/4 and it became the programming language for all SAP R/3 applications with the compiler and VM implemented in C as part of the SAP R/3 kernel.

ABAP = Advanced Business Application Programming
