ABAP is the programming language of the German software company SAP, used to write business applications on its platforms. The name comes from the German Allgemeiner Berichts-Aufbereitungs-Prozessor, meaning generic report preparation processor, because it was first intended for producing reports from SAP's accounting and logistics systems. As SAP's R/2 and R/3 systems grew, ABAP became a full programming language for developing the business logic, data processing and user interfaces. It was extended with object-oriented features, and today it is used in the SAP S/4HANA suite. Many large companies run their finance, manufacturing and human resources processes with programs written in ABAP.
