SAP R/3 functionality is structured
using its own proprietary language
called ABAP (Advanced Business
Application Programming).

ABAP or ABAP/4 is a fourth generation
language (4GL), geared toward the
creation of simple, yet powerful
programs.
SAP has several layers.

The Basis System (BC) includes the ABAP
Programming language, and is the heart (i.e.
the base) of operations and should not be
visible to higher level or managerial users.

The Heart of the system (from the managers
viewpoint) are the application modules.
