5 out of 5 stars Perfect for Road Work, too!   May 12, 2000

4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Even as a newcomer to ABAP, I am finding this text very helpful. None of my rackfull of "How-To" books makes any sense as a reference, and I find the online help hopelessly verbose and unfocused. I've even spent a few minutes actually reading the book... and liking it. Barrett's style is just right. In addition to the commands, there are many concise explanations of obscure SAP terms that I have found very helpful in deciphering the gibberish the old hands speak to each other. I will admit to being extremely old; let's just say "Pre-ScoobyDoo". Nevertheless, I submit that even you whippersnappers don't know a language until you have a well-thumbed hard copy command reference. This one is quite good.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent quick reference of ABAP commands   November 11, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book stays right by my PC. It's an excellent quick source for command syntax structure. I crack this book open more often than any other SAP book I have. Anyone new to ABAP needs this book. One comment about another review here: This book didn't promise to be an SAP Transaction Code guide, so don't complain about not being one. This book is exactly what it says it is and nothing more. I don't need another 3 inch thick book on everything ABAP. I need a command reference I can drop in my computer bag and take it with me.


4 out of 5 stars Very good idea   July 13, 1998
Although the online language reference help is much more complete and well presented,there is a need for a command (or language) reference book for offline programming analysis.


4 out of 5 stars Good reference book for ABAP/4 commands   June 24, 1998

It is a good command reference book for experienced SAP/2 and SAP/3 people. It covers comprehensive list of SAP and ABAP/4 commands that are much more easy to find than looking for online. It also clearly gives the fundamental utilization for each command. This is very good book for persons familiar with SAP.


4 out of 5 stars Like the author, I *needed* this.   June 17, 1998
Greg Goss (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)
I come from a non-DB 3GL background. ABAP/4 is a language that "just grew", with many features added in ways that are non-obvious from other similar features.

The publisher of the language provides an online help-file CD, but no REFERENCE as us old-timers need. Where do you write margin notes on a CD?

This was the only reference listed when I bought it last November, and I've half-worn it out already. I couldn't do my job without it.
