Hi

You will use the ABAP Workbench to develop

simple busness applications. These are based on

the tables, data, and ABAP Dictionary objects of

the flight data model. In this course, you will only

read the flight data. You will process the data in

your programs, but the actual data in the

database will not be changed.

You will also use, analyze, copy, and modify

existing Repository objects.

An ABAP program contains the following components:

Source code

...containing the ABAP statements

Screens

... consist of the screen layout and associated flow logic. You normally create the layout of a screen

using the Screen Painter. However, there are special kinds of screens, called selection screens and lists,

whose layout and flow logic are designed exclusively using ABAP statements.

Interface

...contains all of the entries in the menus, the standard toolbar, the application toolbar, and function key

settings. It contains titles and statuses. A status is a collection of function key settings and menus.

Text elements

... are language-specific. They can be translated either directly from the text element maintenance tool,

or using a special translation tool.

Documentation

... is also language-specific. Always write documentation from the user's point of view. If you want to

document the programming techniques you have used, use comments in the program code instead.

Variants

... allow you to predefine the values of input fields on the selection screen of a program.

Reward points if usefull..

Hi Laxman

The Components of ABAP Application Programs

All ABAP applications, along with parts of NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, are written in the ABAP Workbench development environment using ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) which is SAP’s own programming language. The individual components of application programs are stored in a special section of the database which is used as the central storage for all development objects of the SAP System and is called the Repository. The following sections of this documentation cover the basics and characteristics of ABAP application programming.
