Hi Sudhakar,

I'm pretty sure nothing exists to "migrate" from RPG to ABAP. You'd better go to the ABAP home page, and learn from scratch : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/abap

especially chapter "getting started with abap"

Best regards,

Sandra

Hi Sudhakar,

Perhaps you know the page of IBM with documents that IBM calls 'redbooks'. Search with google with strings: redbook sap iseries, and you will find entries or in the [site of redbooks|http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/]. There are larger PDF files, although they are older (for 46C releases and so on).

I hope this helps you

Regards

Eduardo

Hello,

There is really no need for such a book. Once you know any programming language, it is possible to pick up ABAP quite easily. It is a very simple, intuitive language.

I started out programming in Pascal and C, then switched to ABAP. I highly recommend the BC400 and BC401 courses provided by SAP.

cheers
