Hi,

1) SAP Basis Release 4.5 delivered the first version of ABAP objects by extending the ABAP programming language with classes, interface, and the ability to create objects from classes (i.e class "instances").

2) SAP Bais Release 4.6 delivered the complete version of ABAP objects by enabling "inheritance" which is the key feature of object-oriented (OO ) programming for many programmers , and allowing the ceation of a composite interface from several component interfaces.

3) SAP web Application Server 6.10/6.20 the successor to SAP BASIS , enhanced ABAP objects with features like "friendship" between classes and the introduction of object services for storing objects in the database.

4) SAP web Application Server ABAP 6.40 introduced the "shared objects" concept which allows objects to be stored in the shared memory of application server, so that they can be accessed by all programs on that server.

hi Tarun ,

ABAP is one of many application-specific fourth-generation languages (4GLs) first developed in the 1980s. It was originally the report language for SAP R/2, a platform that enabled large corporations to build mainframe business applications for materials management and financial and management accounting. ABAP used to be an abbreviation of Allgemeiner Berichtsaufbereitungsprozessor, the German meaning of "generic report preparation processor", but was later renamed to Advanced Business Application Programming. ABAP was one of the first languages to include the concept of Logical Databases (LDBs), which provides a high level of abstraction from the basic database level.

The ABAP programming language was originally used by SAP developers to develop the SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP applications – customers can add custom reports and interfaces, and enhance user experience, with ABAP programming. This 4GL is fairly easy to learn for programmers but is too complex for ordinary users. High-level programming skills are still required to create ABAP programs.

ABAP remains the language for creating programs for the client-server R/3 system, which SAP first released in 1992. As computer hardware evolved through the 1990s, more and more of SAP's applications and systems were written in ABAP. By 2001, all but the most basic functions were written in ABAP. In 1999, SAP released an object-oriented extension to ABAP called ABAP Objects, along with R/3 release 4.5.

SAP's most recent development platform, NetWeaver, supports both ABAP and Java.
