Hi Surya,

Simply put <u><i>ABAP Editor integrated with ABAP data dictionary</i></u> means that when you click on a field/table in ABAP editor it takes you to the data definition of field/table.

It really gets to the heart of what sets ABAP apart from other languages. Its integration with the data dictionary give the programmer access to a large repository of reusable data types and objects that helps to simplify programming.

Java has nice features, too many to mention. One of them allows you to import the packages you need to perform certain functions, such as I/O. In ABAP, that is not necessary since all of the functions/classes and data types that are the equivelant of packages are part of the vast global repository that makes ABAP unique and powerful.

Well, I guess i would say that when using the ABAP editor to write your code, you use TYPES that you define in the ABAP dictionary.
