odbc-driver-for-abap-examples

SAP's example programs for the ODBC driver for ABAP, one subfolder per programming language, with the ABAP objects they use and a unixodbc configuration template for Unix clients.

Every example here needs the ODBC driver for ABAP installed on the client, which is downloaded from the SAP Marketplace; on Windows the standard ODBC driver manager is used, and on Unix unixodbc is required for almost all of them, with no other driver manager supported. The repository holds the examples sorted into a subfolder per language, a unixodbc configuration template, and a top-level ABAP folder with text representations of the ABAP objects most examples use, also released as an ABAP package. Features carry their own minimum versions: select from SAP system version 2021 FPS01 and driver 01.00.0000, call from 2025 / 2502 and driver 01.00.0018, insert and delete from 2025 / 2508 and driver 01.00.0021.

Examples for the ABAP ODBC driver

REUSE status

Description

This repository contains examples for using the ODBC driver for ABAP in various programming languages. Information on how to run the example programs and prerequisites can be found either as comments in the code or in readme.md files in the respective directories.

The folder examples contains the actual examples, most are sorted in subfolders for each programming language, the folder unix contains a configuration template for the unixodbc driver manager.

The top-level folder ABAP contains text representations of ABAP objects used in most examples. The contents is also released as the ABAP package BASIS/SABP_MAIN/SABP/SABP_DBC2ABAP/SABP_DBC2ABAP_TEST, but some objects might not be available in older releases.

Additional ABAP folders may be present in sub-projects (e.g., devtoberfest_2025), each containing their own scenario. These are not necessarily included in the ABAP package mentioned above.

Requirements

All examples require the ODBC driver for ABAP to be installed on the client. It can be downloaded from the SAP Marketplace.

On Windows, the standard ODBC driver manager is used. For Unix systems, the ODBC driver manager unixodbc is required for almost all examples. Other driver managers are not supported.

Some features showcased in the examples have minimum version requirements:
