About Abap
ABAP was created in the 1980s by SAP to develop applications for the SAP R/2 system, later transitioning to the SAP R/3 system. It was designed to facilitate the development of business-oriented applications and reports within the SAP ecosystem.
Strengths of ABAP include its deep integration with SAP systems, robust data processing capabilities, and strong support for business processes. Weaknesses involve its steep learning curve, limited use outside of SAP environments, and sometimes outdated syntax. Competitors include Oracle PL/SQL, Microsoft Dynamics AX X++, and Java for enterprise applications.
