Hi Gopal,
The biggest thing I have to tell you is that you have to let go of the select
statement. In HR ABAP you use select statements significantly less than in
other areas of ABAP development. Logical databases have limited applications
in other modules but are very useful in HR. Also, you really need to understand
the infotype time constraint concept. When you cannot get the information that
you need out of the logical DB look at the function modules starting with HR*
and RH*. These function modules will provide you with multiple ways of
accessing data to save time. Worst-case scenario, use a select statement
Infotypes are the only way to pull current HR data from a screen in HR. Other
modules only utilize screens; however, in HR the same screen can be utilized
multiple times for different reasons (i.e. New Hire, Termination and Leave of
Absence). ABAP programming must utilize Infotypes to capture accurate
information.
What The Differences Between ABAP and HR-ABAP
The ABAP HR is an integral part of ABAP. Generally in ABAP the following are
done:
1) Table development
2) Date Processin
3) Reprt developing
4) BAPIs /RFC s
5) Data base update
6) Screens development/enhancement
7) Scripts and smart forms.
8) Function Building
9) Java connectors etc.
This is basically done through the PROGRAMMING in ABAP builder by using
ABAP 4th generation languge. This may be related to any module of my SAP
ERP 2004 like HR, FICO.SD,MM,CRM Etc.,
Now when it is said ABAP HR. It is the development of ABAP in the area of HR
to meet the clients requirements according to the functional specifications .They
may be in any area of HR like in the areas of time aspects ,pay aspects, OM
aspects and Self Services like E-recruitment, ESS etc.,
One example of ABAP PROGRAMME related to HR is given below.
Report: ZP_POSTCODE: This report has been developed by the ABAPER in
the area of SAP HR to Display report of employees by postcode that includes
current traveling allowances (i.e. parking, permit or transport card etc.)

 transport wherever it appropriate (this is the functional requirement of
the client or the functional specification
