Procedural
ABAP vs
OO ABAP with Real-Life Examples
Abid Ali
SAP Technical Consultant

To understand the difference better, let’s compare


procedural ABAP and OO ABAP using real-world examples
from daily life.

1. Making a Cup of Tea ☕


Procedural Approach (Step-by-Step Execution)
Imagine you prepare tea every day in a fixed way:
1.Boil water.
2.Add tea leaves.
3.Add sugar and milk.
4.Strain and serve.
Each time, you manually repeat the same process without
flexibility.

🔹 Procedural ABAP equivalent:

📌 Issue: If you need green tea or black tea, you have to change the entire
function.

OO ABAP Approach (Reusable and Flexible)

Here, you create a tea-making class with a method that can


be reused for different types of tea.

🔹 OO ABAP equivalent:

✅ Advantages of OO ABAP:
•Reusability → You can reuse the class for any type of tea.
•Flexibility → Easily extendable for new tea types.
•Encapsulation → The logic stays within the class.

Procedural ABAP vs. Object-Oriented (OO) ABAP

✅ Why is OO ABAP Useful?


1.Better Code Structure → Organizes programs into manageable
components.
2.Reusability → Reduces redundant code with classes and objects.
3.Easy Maintenance → Bugs can be fixed in one place without affecting other
parts.
4.Encapsulation → Data is protected and only accessible via methods.
5.Scalability → New functionalities can be added without modifying existing
code.
6.Polymorphism → Same interface can have multiple implementations,
making the code flexible.

✅ The Future of OO ABAP 🚀

1. SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) & ABAP on Cloud


•Steampunk (Embedded ABAP in S/4HANA Cloud) relies on OO ABAP.
•Supports clean core principles (no modifications, only extensions).
•Essential for custom development on SAP BTP.

2. RESTful ABAP Programming Model (RAP)


•OO ABAP-based development model for Fiori and Cloud applications.
•Uses Business Object Modeling instead of procedural logic.

3. AI, Machine Learning & OO ABAP


•SAP AI Core & AI Foundation integrate via OData & REST APIs.
•OO ABAP supports API-driven development for ML models.

4. Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) & OO ABAP


•SAP Event Mesh & Message Queues require asynchronous event
handling.
•Uses Observer Pattern for real-time event responses.

5. Object-Oriented Design Patterns in SAP


•Essential for large-scale, maintainable applications.
•Uses Singleton, Factory, Proxy, Decorator patterns.

6. Security & Clean Core Strategy


•Implements role-based access control (RBAC) & SAP S/4HANA clean
core compliance.

7. Cloud-Native ABAP Development


•SAP BTP ABAP Environment enables serverless ABAP.
•Microservices & API-based architectures require OO principles.
