Hi thanks for your answe. Wellr I need a comparison to see the diference doing a simple aplication using a database conection, and do the basic functions like create new registers, modifications or delete one with both softwares
you know ?
I have worked with .Net but I have never worked with Abap I need a general comparison
Can you help me
As far i can understand there is no comparision between ABAP and Dotnet.
Two different languages with different coding standreds by 2 top most companies of the world.
Though SAP uses both the languages:
SAP R/3 is coded on ABAP where as SAP B1(business one) is coded on DOTNET.
Remember SAP is not the makers of B1, there is a isralie company who designed B1 and SAP took over that company.
Connection wise in ABAP you can use BAPI and fetch the data.
Yeah java scripts/VB scripts can be used in ABAP as RFC but in dotnet you can invoke scripts within the code.
Remeber ABAP is a specific ERP langauage based on COBOL structure where as DOTNET is well specified under programming category for Software Industry.
I hope this might give you some hints.
Cheers

Depending on how you apply the two languages you have different scenarios.
Normally you'd only use ABAP within SAP, which also means you do not NEED to connect to the database, the application will handle this for you. So assuming you have a netweaver 2004 system, you'd be doing the table creation in the application (you CAN do it within the ABAP code, but unless it's a dynamically assinged name there'd be no reason to). Modifying inserting and deleting records are almost identical to using SQL statements.
To do the same using a .NET you'd need an external connector and/or an API to translate. Depending on which API you use the code snippets are more or less identical to SQL statements also. However, this is entirely depending on the API you're using. The APIs that default come with SAP are however, not very advanced, and you will need to format your data entries somewhat elaborately as compared to using ABAP.

What kind of comparison do you need (how in-depth)? How much information do you already have about ABAP and .NET?
