Summary
ABAP is a programming language created and used by SAP for the
development of application programs.
Conventional reports do not allow interaction by the user, Interactive
reports do.
Online programming involves the creation of a collection of ABAP modules
and one or more screens. The modules are called by the screen processor
during program execution.
Batch input processing is used to ensure the safe transfer of data into the
SAP system
ABAP can read and write sequential data sets.
