 ABAP LANGUAGE

SAP-ABAP
ABAP is a 4th Generation Language.

Often abbreviated 4GL, fourth-generation languages are programming languages

closer to human languages than typical high-level programming languages. Most 4GLs
are used to access databases. For example, a typical 4GL command is

The other four generations of computer languages are:

• first generation: machine language
• second generation: assembly language
• third generation: high-level programming languages, such as C, C++, and Java.
• fifth generation: languages used for artificial intelligence and neural networks.

Advantages of a data dictionary:

• Facilitates the development of platform independent programs.

• Avoids inconsistencies when defining data types that will later be used in
different parts of the application. This helps avoids redundancy and
considerably decreases the cost of maintenance.

• When a type of data is defined in the dictionary, it is available to any

program or function module in the application. A change in the definition of
a type of data automatically affects all other data or programs that use that
data type.

• The data dictionary is a great source of information for the developer/user.

It is a fast and efficient way to answer questions such as which entries
exist in a particular table, what the structure of a particular table is, etc.
The data dictionary in SAP system is called ABAP Dictionary.
DevCon – Campus Edition @ 2026
DATA DICTIONARY OBJECTS :

DevCon – Campus Edition @ 2026

Data Types
Predefined ABAP Types with Fixed Length
These predefined data types are used to specify the types of individual fields whose lengths are always
fixed at runtime. The following table shows the different fixed-length data types. All field lengths are
specified in bytes.

DevCon – Campus Edition @ 2026

Write Statement
Blank Lines and Drawing Lines
Horizontal lines
You can generate horizontal lines on the output screen by using the following syntax:
Syntax
ULINE [AT [/][<pos>][(<len>)]].

This is equivalent to
WRITE [AT [/][<pos>][(<len>)]] SY-ULINE.

The format specifications after AT are exactly the same as the format specifications described for the WRITE
statement in Positioning WRITE Output on the Screen.

If there are no format specifications, the system starts a new line and fills it with a horizontal line. Otherwise,
horizontal lines are output as specified.

Another way of generating horizontal lines is to type the appropriate number of hyphens in a WRITE statement as
follows:
WRITE [AT [/][<pos>][(<len>)]] '-----...'.

Select Statements
Clause Description

SELECT <result> The SELECT clause defines the structure of the data you want to read,
that is, whether one line or several, which columns you want to
read, and whether identical entries are acceptable or not.
INTO TABLE The INTO clause determines the target area <target> into which the
<target> selected data is to be read.

FROM <source> The FROM clause specifies the database table or view <source> from
which the data is to be selected. It can also be placed before the
INTO clause.
WHERE <cond> The WHERE clause specifies which lines are to be read by specifying
conditions for the selection.
GROUP BY The GROUP-BY clause produces a single line of results from groups of
<fields> several lines. A group is a set of lines with identical values for each
column listed in <fields>.
HAVING <cond> The HAVING clause sets logical conditions for the lines combined using
GROUP BY.

ORDER BY <fields> The ORDER-BY clause defines a sequence <fields> for the lines resulting
from the selection.

Modularization Techniques
Modularization Techniques
There are two kinds of processing blocks, those that are called from outside a program by the ABAP
runtime system, and those that can be called by ABAP statements in ABAP programs.

Processing blocks that are called using the ABAP runtime system:
Event blocks
Dialog modules
Processing blocks that are called from ABAP programs:
Subroutines
Function modules
Methods
The processing blocks that you call from ABAP programs are called procedures.

As well as modularization in processing blocks, ABAP allows you to modularize source code by placing
ABAP statements either in local macros or global include programs.
