Abap Revival

With the introduction of the Hana platform, it initially seemed as if Abap was dead for good. Despite a large fan community and continuously appearing language extensions, nobody wanted to bet on the sustainable survival of SAP's programming language just a year ago.

But since SAP TechEd Barcelona 2017, the SAP community has been certain: Abap is alive! The Chief Technology Officer announced the good news to the developers and programmers who had come to the event.

The TechEd in Barcelona was a fine, small circle of SAP enthusiasts who believe in "customizing" ERP/ECC 6.0 and S/4. Despite Java, Hana PAL, SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) and the Hana language extensions for the universal DB language SQL, Abap will live on as a 3GL/4GL language.

If SAP also clarifies the issue of "indirect use" with regard to modifications and add-ons programmed with Abap, mentors, SAP partners and, of course, existing customers will certainly be happy - then Christmas can come. And the entire E-3 team wishes you a successful 2018.
