[Year 12 Its] ERP & SAP Programming Awards

[EARL, Kate]

SAP is an ERP, but I am unsure what is meant by the ERP language? 

There are many ERPs out there (SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle Financials,
Baan...)each with a slightly different programming language. 

SAP has its own proprietary language - ABAP. ABAP is similar to COBOL in
syntax, and it is mainly used for business reporting and database
functions. 

NOT an appealing language for schools to be teaching!

One question.

What _are_ the 'ERP' and 'SAP' languages?
