SAP programmers are specialized in programming language called ABAP.
ABAP stands for: Advanced Business Application Programming.
Most of the SAP software is written in ABAP language.
ABAP is a C like language
Programmers are also called developers and ABAPers (pronounced as ah-bop-ers).
Besides ABAP, programmers are also expected to know Java, .NET, SAP Business Intelligence, SAP Process Integration, and SAP Enterprise Portal etc.
Programmers mainly come into the picture when customization are needed.
Customization simply means modifying the code such that the functionality of the application fits the business requirement.
Software code is only modified if team is unable to achieve the desired results using functional configuration.
Programmers are also required when interfaces need to be written.
Interfaces connect SAP with external software.
For example if a company is using SAP Financials and Oracle Manufacturing then programmers will write interfaces so that both business software could communicate with each other.
