Step by step learning ABAP

ABAP stands for Advanced Business Applicatian Programming. The ABAP programming language was originally used by SAP developers to develop the SAP R/3 platform. It was also intended to be used by SAP customers to enhance SAP applications customers can develop custom reports and interfaces with ABAP programming. The language is fairly easy to learn for programmers but it is not a tool for direct use by non-programmers. Good programming skills, including knowledge of relational database design and preferably also of object-oriented concepts, are required to create ABAP programs.


If you are new to ABAP, there are 2 point you should learn first, in following order:
1. Explore Data Dictionary
Data dictionary is a workplace for defining table, define data type, display table content.
Go to transaction code SE11 (SAP Menu->Tools->ABAP Workbench->Development->Data Dictionary).
Then enjoy exploring data dictionary.
2. Create ABAP Report
Go to transaction code SE38 (SAP Menu->Tools->ABAP Workbench->Development->ABAP Editor), and try to write your first program.

Hello,

I have been trying to install SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 for a while.
1.) First on my Windows Vista which caused following error after installation:
===================================================
============== Stopping System NSP ================
===================================================


========= Stopping ABAP instance ====


23.05.2009 15:28:06
Stop
OK

23.05.2009 15:28:16
StopWait
OK

========= Stopping database instance ...

The MaxDB Database Stopper, Version 7.7.04.23
Copyright 2000-2008 by SAP AG

Error! Connection failed to node (local) for database NSP:
-24700,ERR_DBMSRV_NOSTART: Could not start DBM server.
-24701,ERR_EXHNDLR: Could not initialize exception handler.
-24748,ERR_FILEOPEN: Error opening file C:\sapdb\data\wrk\dbmsrv_DATART-PC.err
-24826,ERR_NIERROR: Can not open file 'C:\sapdb\data\wrk\dbmsrv_DATART-PC.err'.
(System error 5; Přístup byl odepřen.)

Error: Error while calling dbmcli
"C:\sapdb\programs\pgm\dbmcli" -d NSP -u *,* db_offline -nc

============== Stop database failed !

2.) After giving up to install SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 on Windows Vista, I am now running Windows XP on VMWare workstation under Windows Vista, which is called virtualization - so actually I am running Windows XP "under" Windows Vista to make installation of SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 possible.
And what happened is that after I start running SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.0 installer following message pops up:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:run Exception in thread "main"

This message pops up not only under virtual Windows XP, but also under Windows Vista.

Can someone please help with this ??

I would REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

Thanks.

Milan

ABAP remains the language for creating programs for the client-server R/3 system, which SAP first released in 1992. As computer hardware evolved through the 1990s, more and more of SAP’s applications and systems were written in ABAP. By 2001, all but the most basic functions were written in ABAP. In 1999, SAP released an object-oriented extension to ABAP called ABAP Objects, along with R/3 release 4.6.
