ABAP has undergone remarkable product maintenance by SAP in recent years and has developed into a modern programming language. In addition to the preparation for accessing HANA-specific elements (Core Data Services (CDS), ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP)), the non-database-specific concepts in particular have undergone enormous further development. This course first deals with the introduction and use of the eclipse-based editor ADT (ABAP Development Tools) as a supplement to or replacement for the well-known transaction SE80. It then describes the transformation of ABAP from an imperative to a declarative programming language and introduces the associated new operators and expressions. It concludes with an overview of the newly introduced functions in various areas (character strings, arithmetic, logic, …) that optimally support these operators and expressions.
This course includes: 11 Units with a total of 40 Quicks and 35 exercises.
We recommend the courses [A01 – Introduction to ABAP] and [A03 – Object-Oriented Programming in ABAP] as a basis for this course. The courses [A02 – Data Dictionary] and [A12 – Data Dictionary for Database Tables] are also helpful.
The playing time of the Quicks is about 10 hours. The processing time of the exercises is of course user-dependent, but we estimate it to be around 8 hours.
