ABAP on SAP S/4HANA Development Expertise

Since ABAP version 7.40 a new set of syntax was added to enrich ABAP and support modern technologies. For example, a new syntax that extends the ABAP Open SQL, Advanced Open SQL, was included to better integrate Open SQL with the SAP HANA database and exploit the HANA database processing power (“ABAP on SAP HANA”) and to support the concept of “Code push down”. Other new syntax shortener the code writing and increase abilities on data processing and add new capabilities.

In this workshop we will go over the major things in this new syntax. The workshop will have several parts. In each part a presentation will be followed by training session.

Also a high-level overview on ABAP RESTful Programming model (ABAP RAP) will be presented. ABAP RAP can be used to build UI and API both On-Premise systems (from S/4 HANA 2020 version systems) and on the cloud using SAP BTP ABAP Environment Platform-as-a-Service.
