Hi,

you can find differences by release with ABAP help (press F1 in SE38).

There is a section named "ABAP Changes by Release"

Hi,

Have a look at the following thread:

There is a post by Sanjay Sinha which has a list of the OSS notes with the information.

Hi Indhra,

Firstly, welcome to SDN.

It is not possible to get a one-shot summary of all the changes in ABAP keywords, because they differ from release to release. Please have a look at the OSS notes in the link mentioned in my previous reply, and compare the changes for the corresponding key-word in the releases you will be working with.

For the most part, ABAP is backward-compatible, so you should not need to worry about older programs, unless they are moved into a unicode enabled system.

You can also do an F1 on the keyword you are looking up, and check the help documentation, which will tell you about obsolete elements.
