Hello,

Package means it will store all the objects i.e. If you r developing a Report at the time of saying it will ask the package name so you give the package name so that the report will store in that package.

In se80 you give the package name so that it will display all the programs, FMs, Enhancement etc in the Package.

Simply to say is that store all objects under one place.

Hi,

Related objects developed in the ABAP Workbench are grouped together in a package.

in common most of the companies develope different packages for diffrent modules, so the objects which are developed for these modules are assign to corresponding packages.

The Package Builder tool allows us to implement the concept of the package in the ABAP Workbench for the first time ever. Packages are designed to help developers modularize, encapsulate, and decouple units in the SAP System. They are a further development of the concept of the development class used today and contain additional semantics.

In particular, the Package Builder is used to migrate existing development classes to packages, making it a new tool for developing and maintaining development classes.

hi,

i think much of technical things will confuse you.....so i ll explain it in an day to day activity......now for example you have sugar in a container and u keep it in a rack in kitchen so now an package is a rack where you place all the common things....now when the sugar becomes empty you take to your store room and refill it.....like that you can do all the coding in development and send it back to production.....i hope this helps you ...
