Prologue

Version of SAP R / 3 4.6 was the introduction of many new features. Some, such as a completely redesigned user interface, seen immediately. However, the user interface hides a number of improvements and additions. This programming language whose functionality has been expanded significantly in R / 3, this is especially true. Additions included in the ABAP language alone are sufficient for a new edition of this book. For this edition, particularly because of the limited time available to me, as well as books covering a wide scope, focus on the supposed basis. Accordingly, except a few exceptions, the book focuses on providing a description of the controls and basics of ABAP programming. 

Although many readers asked for these reasons, unfortunately, beyond the borders of questions in this book can not contain a description of the language pure. These problems, for example, the workflow includes the planning and control of batch input interface again. This book, with my work, I want to thank everyone who helped me directly or indirectly. First, I would have been impossible to write this book without the help of the generous companies SAP and IXOS Addison-Wesley, I want to mention. Giving their time to answer my questions patiently detailed SAP, employees, and thus find for me and my special thanks to SAP R / 3 and ABAP.-Bernd Matzke, Delitzsch, October 17, 1999 was much easier to understand
