Syntax manuals

Hi.

I'm new in ABAP language, and I work in an outsourcing system in which one there's no the help (the installation was not good, so we haven't got the help).

Does a manual exist with syntax and examples for every command? Especially for objects commands.

Where can I find this in help on-line?

Thanks.

Hi,

Check [ABAP - Key Word Documentation|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENABAP.htm]

As for short manual one of the sublinks [ABAP - Short Reference|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENABAP_SHORTREF.htm]

Unfortunatelly I don't think this will be enough for you to start. First you will have to get programming concepts and ideas in ABAP. Manual is used only for reference once you know what how to write, but you have to look at syntax, therefore I suggest following link for the beginning:

[BC - ABAP Programming|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/fc/eb2c46358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]

As for Object programming you need to first get familiar with classic procedural ABAP/4, then go for more advanced concepts - Object Oriented ABAP.

Marcin

Thank you for the lynks.

I suppose that It would be the thing i looked for, but it can't open it, neither from the direct lynk, nor from the main page.

The page http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENABAP_SHORTREF.htm seems doesn't exist.

The "basic ABAP" page is interesting too.

I've just got the course BC401, but I've some doubts yet.

Then try this link: http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ and select ABAP - Short Reference

For OO ABAP course BC401 is good but would be recommended to acomplish BC400 first as this is introduction to general ABAP.
