HI Chandu,

If you are thinking that wherever you create an abap program it creates a set up file, then you are wrong.

<b>You cannot create a set up file (exe )file out of an abap program.</b>

then how we can install the abap program to run it on the client system

YOu dont INSTALL abap programs, but you create abap programs in se38.

YOu have to run them wither manually in se38 (Press f8) or by attacing a transaction code to the program and entering that t code in the command box.

This is the major difference between normal languages like c,c++ and java where you get an exe file which we can copy wherever we want.

BUt with abap, this is NOT the case.

ABAP is very specific to SAP and ABAP programs cannot exist as standalone exe files.

HOpe it clears your query.

Hii chandu

there are no executable files created as in c/C++ or java

even the clents have to install SAP

butit is a mini version called MINISAP

<b>The Mini SAP</b> Web Application Server 6.10 is a full SAP basis system, but without application areas such

as HR, SD, MM etc. Because it does have standard SAP development tools such as the development

workbench(SE80) you are able to develop and test new custom functionality including reports, transactions,

Business Server Pages and ABAP Objects on your home PC. It has Full ABAP Stack functionality of mySAP

Technology SAP Server, GUI and SAPDB database.

An alternative to this is to use a piece of software called GoToMyPC, which allows you to controll your work

PC from home.
