ERP-systems are created by
- manufacturer-independent development systems (Java, .NET, C++, etc.) - or
- manufacturer-dependent development systems.
The proprietary developer language ABAP of the SAP corporation was basically meant to be a tool for generating client-individual reports in a simple and fast way.
Over time, it developed into a programming system which consists of a procedural and an object-oriented part.
This lecture shall
- give an overview of the procedural and object-oriented design of ABAP,
- enable an evaluation to which extent ABAP can be seen as a complete programming language,
- show the importance of ABAP as being a product's own development system,
- reveal approaches towards enhancement and supplementary developments of the ERP-system by SAP.
This lecture is accompanied by tutorials, in which theoretical knowledge is deepened through supervised exercises.
An additional task is the preparation for the final exam.
All materials will be published in STiNE.
