Newer technologies like Cloud, Machine Learning, AI, Blockchain etc are bringing new concepts into SAP.

However things in the development community are changing fast. SAP R/3 itself was built as a 3 tier architecture system hence it made sense for us to work on the ABAP workbench. All these programs were well suited to work in a 3 tier architecture system. So far in SAP we have been well accustomed to using ABAP Workbench to develop SAP Repository Objects such as Reports, Module Pool Programs etc. In this blog I intend to help you get started using the Eclipse Development environment to create ABAP Programs. Though there is tons of material available on this topic already, there are many still who are not familiar with using it. And so is the way we program using ABAP.Īs you may know, SAP has therefore ventured out into open systems development and has introduced ABAP Development Toolkit plugin for Eclipse. But still with the newer age technologies coming up we find its difficult to keep all things bundled up neatly in our old ways. However at its core the ABAP language is going pretty solid. Its cloud offerings are growing by the day.

SAP is evolving and gearing up to be a cloud company.
