2.0 out of 5 stars Patchy and poorly structured, 28 Sep 1998
By A Customer
There are lots of good things about this book, but it is very patchy, not particularly well executed, and full of mistakes, omissions and misprints. The main use for this book would be for someone to read prior to attending an ABAP course - in particular BC400. Reading this book beforehand would certainly give a headstart in some of the concepts. However, this is a book for someone who already has some wide experience in programming and is definately not for the novice programmer. There are plenty of weak areas: security is not mentioned, despite being fundamental to ABAP, dialog programming is ignored, internal table coverage is sketchy. Parts of the workbench such as the organizer are not covered. Many of the examples are trivial and easy to understand. These offer the most comprehensive explanations, whilst other more complex areas are skimmed over with a useless explanation. Many, many, typographical errors exist. Some of the figures are missing or appear in the wrong place. A lot of the formatting of examples is wrong. Having said all that, if you need to try to grasp the general features of ABAP before going on a formal course, the book is quite useful. If you were hoping to learn ABAP from this book, forget it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, if you have had some exposure to SAP., 22 July 1999
By A Customer
This is a good introduction to ABAP/4 programming, IF you have some experience in programming in another language AND you're familiar with the SAP environment. It covers most of the basic features of writing ABAP/4 reporting code; it doesn't cover dialog programming or SAPscript, but does have a chapter on BDC. If you aren't familiar with the Workbench -- that is, if you don't know how to create and update programs in the SAP environment -- I would recommend SAMs Teach Yourself ABAP/4 in 21 Days, by Ken Greenwood, as the place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST and MOST PRACTICAL ABAP/4 book I've come across., 10 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I am currently involved with an installation project of SAP in several countries and I have had the dubious pleasure of getting exposed to the ABAP code. If you are involved with an SAP project you know the software will contain some bugs and you will also want some customization. Unfortunately, most of the programmers out there do not know your business and at times it is frustrating bridging the gap to meet the customization needs.

So the more of the programming language that you know the easier the communication will be. For example, the programmer will give you a program and if it does not meet your needs it is very helpful in being able to read through the program logic and understand what the program is doing. This book does an excellent job in explaining the commands, the syntax, giving practical examples, and highly stresses the practical rules for optimizing the program.

If you have the ability to write your own programs and play around in a development system this book is the one with which to start. It will give you the basics and beyond and is very easy to read and follow, especially with the examples.

Again, I highly recommend this book from a practical reference and also as a text book to learn how to program in SAP.
