What Is Abap - 1

ABAP is a programming language developed by SAP for building business applications. It is not case sensitive and uses keywords to begin statements that end with periods. Statements can be chained together by writing the common part once followed by a colon and the remaining parts separated by commas to condense multiple statements. Comments are added using asterisks at the start of a line or double quotes within a line.
