The other day one of my friends was really frustrated by the way a particular business worked for one of the clients. Ignorance of some so call functional consultants had complicated the process and the custom solution could have been easily avoided, had the functional guy done some homework. In his heated moment he said, we are not in SAP System but in a ZAP System. He believed the client had more Z Programs than needed. The word ZAP brought smiles in everyone’s face.

When we are talking about SAP, how can we leave ABAP behind? How do you rate below acronym for ABAP?
ABAP – Always Better Alternatives Possible
In all this fun, hope we do not dilute what SAP actually stand for?
The original full form of SAP is “Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung” in German. When translated into English SAP becomes Systems, Applications, and Products for Data Processing. The acronym was little long and the think tanks smartly stated calling it as S-A-P. We don’t call S-A-P as SAP (tree trunk sap). If someone calls S-A-P as SAP, you be confident, that guy has never worked in S-A-P.
Also, Read – What does SAP do?
Well ABAP actually stands for Advanced Business Application Programming. This is the programming language used in SAP.
