All SAP software, including ABAP scripts, run within the context of an SAP system which consists of three layers:
  • A relational database
  • An application server
  • The client application, SAPgui.
ABAP programs cannot be executed outside of SAP or be extracted as stand-alone external files.
All programs written in ABAP reside in the SAP system database, are executed by the SAP kernel on the application server, and are accessed and modified by developers who access the system using SAPgui.
This makes learning ABAP programming a challenging proposition for students of the language who do not have access to an existing SAP system.
