Instant Access: SAP Developer's Reference for ABAP/4

This excellent "roadmap," a sturdy, laminated 16-fold quick reference card, was the first of its kind on the market for professional SAP developers and first in the series of SAP tools. We offer it here at a reduced price for those who want to get a feel for ABAP, or are working with older systems, and don't yet need the second edition.

This snapshot of the ABAP/4 Workbench covers the core SAP R/3 information in a densely packed giant gatefold card. Here are the most important features:

- The 80 most important SAP development transactions
- Special tables and data structures: the R/3 system control structures SYST and SCREEN at your fingertips
- Important naming conventions and how to apply them
- ABAP/4 program types and structures: When to use which type of source code.
- Using events in your program: explanations and examples
- Data types and conversion tables
- Official ABAP/4 and DYNPRO command sets with variants: keywords at a glance
- ABAP/4 development: service reports, function modules and Editor and Line commands

Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

This is one of the few places where all the keywords are listed with explanations. This is very useful to any person writing ABAP code. The answers to most common questions or lookups are in this reference.

Review

The Instant Access: SAP reference is a comprehensive tool which is a welcome addition to the tools needed by ABAP/4 developers and also provides needed quick reference to the technical staff supporting the SAP product. My thanks to The Consultants Network for seeing a need in the SAP development world and meeting that need. -- Lloyd Seltzer, SAP Sr. Project Leader since 1989, Schindler Elevator Corp.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great reference for all ABAPers!, June 17, 1999

For you old-time ABAPers and SAP pros, this reference card will take you back to the days when SAP actually gave these to you in class! Remember all the transaction sheets and cheat sheets you used to have!?!? This is it, and better than ever!

For you pups that didn't have the pleasure of working in R/2, this thing will save you tons of time, especially with the obscure tasks that you perform once every month or so! (Now, just what WAS that path to download???) :)

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK but hardly worth the money., October 14, 1999

The idea of a quick reference is something all ABAPers can use but this is below average. I found the ABAP/4 command reference much more useful. It has 10 times the info and is just as easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference card for beginning and advanced ABAPers, October 5, 1998

All the basics -- naming conventions, program flows, reserved word reference -- plus the goodies -- key transaction codes, important tables, etc.
