Common SAP R/3 Functions Manual

R/3 is a business system that has gained global prominence. However, the SAP R/3 has 237,000 function modules. Quite often programmers are unaware that a module exists which can be of help in their programs. This convenient resource is a collection of the most common ABAP modules, demonstrated within simple programs. These programs for easily searchable examples can be accessed from http://extras.springer.com/978-1-85233-775-9

The modules in this book are organised for quick reference. This concise reference contains: A full explanation of the layout of reference entries; a brief introduction to SAP; coverage of conversion and date and time modules; file and directory modules; list, long texts, and number modules; useful integration modules for MSOffice and pop-up dialog box management.
