ABAP:

ABAP stands for Advanced Business Application Programming
ABAP is the language in which all the R/3 business modules are written and developed and which customers can use to extend SAP R/3's possibilities.

Before release 4.0 of R/3, the language was known as ABAP/4 (the 4 meant it was a fourth−generation language). With release 4.0B the name was changed to simply ABAP because, although the language maintains most of the best fourth−generation language features and previous syntax and keywords, many object−oriented features have been incorporated in a move to make it a fully capable object−oriented language.

ABAP is the programming language that SAP has used to develop all the R/3 business modules and applications, including the system management functions.

It is available to customers and developers to extend SAP functionality for their particular needs.

ABAP programs are created and maintained using the workbench tools.
