Language Environment
ABAP programs can be programmed so that they can be executed in
different language environments without changing the source code. The
language environment of a program includes:
a language-dependent text pool that contains the
text elements of an ABAP program
the language-dependent text environment
that determines the locale and the system code page
country-specific formatting settings that determine
the format of numbers, date outputs, and time outputs.
