ABAP is the programming language for the enterprise software SAP R/3 & SAP Netweaver of SAP A.G., which is used for writing commercial applications. In its basic structure, it is similar to Cobol, an old programming language.
Meaning of ABAP/4
In the origin of SAP A.G. and its application software, ABAP meant "Allgemeiner Berichts-Anwendungs-Prozessor" (german for General Processor for Reports and Applications). This was based in the principle that in a beggining it was only possible to program very specific evaluations from client (reports, in few words) but no change in the data base was possible.
With the development of the technology and after years, it means now "Advanced Business Application Programming". And it is a 4th generation programming lenguaje.
