replies: text: Original name: "Allgemeiner Berichtsanalyseprozessor". For marketing purposes, it was changed to "Advanced Business Apllication Programming". So, concerning the initial name, it's an acronym, with its "internationalized" name it's a backronym. Now the funny part is the english translation of its initial name, which would be "Common Report Analysis Processor". Try to find an acronym for that ... -- C. Deelmann 08:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice innuendo and thanks for the info, but I'd suspect "Allgemeiner" is usually translated as "General", not "Common" ;) --92.108.210.53 (talk) 07:44, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article includes a statement to the effect that the ABAP Dictionary enforces referential integrity. I believe it doesn't, so I'll change this in a while unless anyone objects. 86.31.158.130 19:05, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The DDIC does not enforce integrity. You can declare it but this will not have an effect on SQL statements that interact with the database. There is no way of cascading deletes and inserts will not fail when they violate declared relationships.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.37.130.28 (talk) 21:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Data integrity 

message: I think this is something that is really too specific, and rather personal - perhaps one could say not a NPOV!  Therefore, I've removed it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.227.12.124 (talk) 12:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This article was proposed for deletion on the grounds of unfixable original research. I deprodded as it seemed to me that a comparison between the two was reasonable, but I don't know enough about computer programming to properly assess and fix the article. Any assessments of it and editing would be welcome. Fences&Windows 16:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm working on a cleanup of the ABAP article (I'm not the original author but I had noticed that much of the original article was obsolete or contained questionable information). As part of that work I have marked following sections for deletion:
* Advanced topics: this section only mentions batch input. This is not a key topic in an article describing the language and I think it is best left out. Furthermore, if batch input is discussed then alternative techniques like CATT would also have to be mentioned, which would make the article even longer.
* Other features: contains simply a list of unrelated features, some of which are already mentioned earlier in their proper context
* Example and Example (Report): these are very long and, except for ABAP programmers, fairly meaningless examples. Anyone who wants to see a full ABAP program can find any number of examples on the Web. The short and documented examples earlier in the article are far more useful.

message: Much of this article reads like an instruction manual and could use cleaning up, probably including removal of much of the material. The Syntax section in particular seems to be just a straightforward tutorial with no encyclopedic content at all. -- Fyrael (talk) 15:14, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
