ABAP was originally conceived and developed as a reporting language for SAP R/2 in the 1980s.

Its utility grew when the next iteration of SAP’s ERP, version R/3, was built in large part using the programming language. Many parts of the current iteration of the application, SAP ERP, are also written in ABAP.

In SAP R/3, ABAP was used by technically-inclined customers to develop custom business reports and SAP interfaces. By 2001, virtually all SAP applications were written, at least in part, in ABAP.
