Objectives to introduce
the ABAP integrated development environment
the two main ABAP application types reporting dialog programming

ABAP WorkbenchPurpose & Function
SAP’s Integrated Graphical Programming Development Environment: Used to create/change ABAP application programs Each ABAP application program is either a report or
a transaction: Reports are applications that retrieve and display
information from database with little or no user interaction Transactions accepts inputs/data from users and then
perform one or more relevant actions, usually involving updating databases
![Page 5: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ABAP WorkbenchPurpose & Function
The Workbench can be used to write ABAP code design dialogs/screens with a graphical
editor create menus with a menu editor debug an application test an application for efficiency control access to objects under development create new or access predefined database
information

feel’ screens consist of
screen titlebar menu bar standard toolbar application toolbar screen body message line

The Object Navigator (The Repository Browser)
central tool for organizing and managing your personal development objects
used to navigate through development object lists where development objects are the components
used to construct an application automatically calls other workbench tools
if you create a new data definition the browser calls the Data Dictionary, and then returns to the browser after the definition is created
![Page 11: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The ABAP Language
Advanced Business Application Programming developed by SAP for the interactive development
of application programs 4th Generation Language (with some OO features) main uses for ABAP programs include
creation of new reports development of new user dialog programs (transactions) customisation of R/3 to meet individual client needs
![Page 13: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reporting uses ABAP Open SQL to extract
data from the R/3 database Open SQL is a subset of ANSI SQL
report consists of a [selection screen] and a list screen selection screen allows the user to
enter selection criteria list screen displays the report data
![Page 14: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Dialog Programming
Dialog Programs (Transactions) are used for both reading and changing the database
Main Components of a Dialog Program are screen & menus processing logic defined in an ABAP program
(module pool) for each screen, interaction and control flow from
one module to another is defined in DYNPRO data structures defined in the ABAP dictionary

The Repository Information System
The Repository Information System is used to search for objects in the R/3 system and provides list of all objects X with attribute/s Y the Where Used List which gives a list of every place
that object X is used throughout the R/3 system information about foreign key relationships between
tables display of data (all records in table X with attribute Y)
![Page 25: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Test and Analysis Tools ABAP Editor
syntax checker tests for coding and syntactical correctness provides automatic ‘correct’ facility in case of an error, provides a detailed
(although sometimes obscure) reason for the error
extended syntax check searches out situations that might possibly
result in a runtime error (eg, inconsistent interface parameters)
warns about use of literals instead of text elements
![Page 27: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Test and Analysis Tools Debugger
finds logic errors provides ability to
stop the program anywhere during runtime
continue statement by statement skip over subroutines check or change the contents of variables
and internal tables on the fly
![Page 28: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Test and Analysis Tools Runtime analysis
used to determine the performance, (absolute and relative) of the various parts of an ABAP program
can provide statistics on the efficiency of
code database accesses R/3 system itself
![Page 30: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Data Modeler graphical tool that utilises E-R
modelling tightly coupled to the data dictionary
possible to click on an object in the model (ie, an entity), and retrieve related data from the dictionary, (ie table - structure, contents)
create the data model and the dictionary can create the table automatically
![Page 33: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ABAP Query Automated report generator
user not required to know ABAP language can generate
basic lists, statistics, ranked lists To define a report
enter individual texts, such as titles select the fields and options which determine the report
layout assign a particular sequence by numbering the fields.
The system generates each query in the form of an ABAP program.
![Page 35: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Workbench Organizer records and controls changes to
objects ABAP Programs, Dictionary Objects,
Screens, User Interface Definitions, … provides assistance for organizing
development projects by allowing you to distribute project work
for individual developers or teams among different change requests
![Page 36: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Workbench Organizer interface to the Transport mechanism
movement of applications from development test production environments
prevents parallel, uncoordinated changes to the same object, (version control) even when many copies of the object
exist in several, connected SAP systems
![Page 37: MIS 3020 - ABAP Programming Lecture 1 Introduction to the ABAP Workbench.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081502/56649ce35503460f949aebec/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Summary & Conclusion
this lecture provided an overview of the tools that comprise the ABAP Development Workbench
of these the editor /syntax checker/debugger is the combination that we will use most frequently
it is essential that you be able to use the tools to navigate around the workbench find,execute,change development objects
