ABAP Programming: MINS298c Fall 1998

This document provides an overview of various ABAP programming concepts including: 1) Hiding variables in ABAP using the hide command which temporarily stores variables in a hide area accessed via events. 2) Primitive pagination in ABAP using language-dependent headers/labels or default single logical page of 60,000 lines with override events. 3) Creating windows in ABAP using window commands specifying starting and ending positions. 4) Generating messages in ABAP using message types and the message command with variables represented by an ampersand. 5) Potential presentation topics on additional ABAP concepts like events, dialog boxes, and logical databases.
