ABAP - Keyword Documentation BEGIN_SECTION VERSION X ONLY The ABAP keyword documentation describes the syntax and semantics of the keywords of programming languages provided by SAP on an Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) of an ABAP system implementing an ABAP_PLATFORM . It also provides an introductory description of the environment of these languages and of language-related frameworks and the corresponding system classes. END_SECTION VERSION X ONLY BEGIN_SECTION VERSION 5 ONLY This documentation describes the syntax and semantics of the keywords of programming languages provided by SAP on an Application Server ABAP (AS ABAP) for development in the ABAP_SAP_BTP_ENV and for customer developments in the ABAP_PLATFORM_CLOUD . It also provides an introduction to the environment of these languages plus language-related frameworks and their associated system classes. The language version and frameworks for SAP Cloud Platform do not cover all elements in the standard ABAP version and the set of usable repository objects is limited to those released by SAP or that are in the same software component.

Modeling
ABAP - Dictionary
ABAP Dictionary is a persistent repository of metadata used to describe data types, database tables, views, and similar objects that can be used in development objects such as ABAP programs or CDS entities. This section of the ABAP keyword documentation provides a full description of the most important ABAP Dictionary objects that are relevant for the programming languages. It also includes documentation for the Dictionary DDL used to define certain dictionary objects in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT).
ABAP - Core Data Services
The ABAP Core Data Services (ABAP CDS) are the ABAP-specific implementation of SAP's CDS concept. They are used to develop data models that go far beyond the capabilities of ABAP Dictionary. CDS entities can access ABAP Dictionary objects and can be used in ABAP programs. This section of the ABAP keyword documentation introduces the concepts of ABAP CDS and provides full descriptions of the programming languages used to define CDS objects in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT), such as CDS DDL, CDS DCL, CDS SDL, or RAP BDL .
Application Programming
ABAP - Programming Language
ABAP is the main programming language of the ABAP development environment (ABAP DE) provided by an ABAP_PLATFORM . It is the namesake for the Application Server ABAP (or AS ABAP) and many of its components. ABAP is the programming interface of an AS ABAP and is used for the development of system programs and application programs that are usually based on objects in ABAP Dictionary or in ABAP CDS. This section of the ABAP keyword documentation provides a full description of the ABAP programming language and its object-oriented part, ABAP Objects. It also provides descriptions of the XML-based language elements for Simple Transformations BEGIN_SECTION VERSION 5 OUT and the language elements of the dynpro flow logic, which can be used only in combination with ABAP END_SECTION VERSION 5 OUT .
ABAP - RAP Business Objects
The ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) is a programming model that is RESTful or that meets the requirements of a REST architecture. In ABAP RAP, AS ABAP plays the role of a stateless Web server. OData serves as the RESTful protocol for requests from Web clients and the state of a session can be saved to the standard database. The modeling is based on CDS entities and special RAP objects . This section of the ABAP keyword documentation describes the modeling, implementation, publication, and consumption of RAP business objects, including RAP business services, RAP behavior definitions, and ABAP EML for providing and consuming RAP BOs.
