SAP ABAP Training – Become an Expert Developer

Learn ABAP programming online with real business examples, practical exercises, and career guidance.

If you’ve ever wondered how SAP handles massive amounts of business data so smoothly, the answer often lies in ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). Think of ABAP as the engine under the hood of SAP—it powers reporting, data processing, and automation across finance, logistics, HR, and more.

At Feligrat, our ABAP course isn’t just about writing code—it’s about understanding SAP from the inside out. You’ll learn how programs translate into real business solutions.

Why ABAP Matters

Imagine a company with thousands of employees, multiple warehouses, finance transactions happening every minute, and products moving across cities. Managing all that manually would be chaotic. ABAP acts as the translator between business requirements and SAP software, enabling:

• – Building programs that solve real business problems
• – Automating repetitive tasks to reduce errors
• – Handling large volumes of data effortlessly
• – Becoming a valuable SAP developer or consultant

Getting Started with ABAP: The Basics

ABAP programs are beginner-friendly. Every program starts with a REPORT statement:

REPORT Z_HELLO_WORLD.
WRITE 'Hello World'.
    

• REPORT Z_HELLO_WORLD. – Names your program
• WRITE ‘Hello World’. – Prints text on the screen

Understanding ABAP Statements

• Declarative Statements: Define variables and data structures.

  DATA: lv_variable TYPE i,
        lv_text     TYPE string,
        lv_date     TYPE d.
          

• Modularization Statements: Create reusable blocks like subroutines for readability and debugging.
• Event Statements: Execute actions automatically when events occur.

  REPORT Z_FIRST_ABAP_REPORT.
  DATA: lv_name TYPE string.
  lv_name = 'John Doe'.
  WRITE: 'Hello', lv_name.
          

• Control Statements: Manage decision-making and flow.

  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    WRITE 'Operation successful'.
  ELSE.
    WRITE 'Operation failed'.
  ENDIF.
          

• Call Statements: Execute other programs or functions.
• Database Statements: Retrieve, insert, update, or delete data from SAP tables.

  DATA: lt_mara TYPE TABLE OF mara,
        ls_mara TYPE mara.
  
  SELECT * FROM mara INTO TABLE lt_mara.
          

Writing Clean and Readable ABAP Code

• Indentation – Helps understand code structure.
• Colon notation – Declare multiple variables efficiently.

  DATA: lv_variable TYPE i,
        lv_text     TYPE string,
        lv_date     TYPE d.
          

• Comments – Leave notes for yourself or others.

  * This is a full-line comment
  DATA: lv_variable TYPE i, " Integer variable
        lv_text     TYPE string.
          

Managing Output & Messages

• Control output format:

  WRITE: NO-GAP 'Text without extra spaces'.
  WRITE: 'Line 1', SKIP, 'Line 2'.
  WRITE: 'Feligrat ABAP Training'. ULINE.
          

• Message Types:
  • – E: Error
  • – W: Warning
  • – I: Information
  • – A: Abend
  • – S: Success
  • – X: Abort

Your First ABAP Program: Step by Step

REPORT Z_FIRST_ABAP_REPORT.

DATA: lv_name TYPE string.
lv_name = 'John Doe'.
WRITE: 'Hello', lv_name.
    

Execute the report in SAP GUI using transaction SE38 or SA38.

Output:

Hello John Doe
