Résumé :
The ABAP/4 workbench presented here is built on the enterprise-wide data model of R/3 and contains all the tools needed for the effective development of large program systems in distributed teams. The book explains how to apply the development environment such that R/3 users and advisors can extend and adapt the system to their special needs. In particular, the text focuses on how to solve interface problems and the integration of desktop PCs into R/3. The source code for all examples is included on the accompanying diskette.
