What is ABAP Workbench

What is ABAP Workbench

 ABAP Workbench is a collection of tools you use to develop, test and run ABAP programs.In SAP ,we are using ABAP Workbench to develop standard and custom applications and also within the ABAP Workbench ,we are creating reports ,printing forms ,data entry and general programming .Workbench has the following tools .

All tools in the ABAP Workbench are integrated.

When you work with the ABAP Workbench, you work with development objects and packages. Development objects are the individual parts of an ABAP application.

Development objects are:

Programs: reports, transactions, and function modules
Program components: events, screens, menus, and function modules
Objects that programs can share: database fields, field definitions, and program messages.


The SAP system stores development objects in the Repository, which is a part of the database. When you complete your work on a development object, you generate a run time version of the object.

In a standard SAP installation, development and live operation take place in separate systems. You create new applications in the development system and transport them to the production system. Daily work takes place in the production system, which uses run time versions created in the development system.

We use the Transport Organizer to move applications from the development system to the production system.
