INCLUDE
The natural language that has established itself worldwide for computer
programming is English. This is because the language elements in all
significant programming languages have been taken from English and their
syntax based on English grammar. ABAP is no exception. In fact, efforts
have been made to guarantee correct English by giving additions of
related statements different names, even if they have the same meaning.
Well-known examples include the (now obsolete) additions VARYING
and VARY of the statements DO and WHILE . Here, ABAP
can even be viewed as a subset of the English language.
