ABAP is a programming language for developing applications for the Systems, Application and Products in Data Processing R/3 system, a widely used business application subsystem. SAP will run using the previous version of ABAP, ABAP/4, or the newest: ABAP Objects. ABAP Objects is object-oriented and the previous versions were created before object-oriented programming became wide-spread. "ABAP Objects uses a single inheritance model and full support for object features such as encapsulation, polymorphism, and persistence"

ABAP is the development language of SAP, a COBOL based language with more key words that the Webster's Dictonary. It is designed so that any idiot can master it along with the idiot's manager

I have had the pleasure of meeting several SAP developers and not a single one of them knew any other languages.

Many developer's feel that Visual Basic is bad. It doesn't hold a candle to ABAP.
