The ABAP HR is an integral part of ABAP. Generally in ABAP the following are done:

1)  Table development
2)  Date Processin
3)  Reprt developing
4)  BAPIs /RFC s
5)  Data base update
6)  Screens development/enhancement
7)  Scripts and smart forms.
8)  Function Building
9)  Java connectors etc.




This is basically done through the PROGRAMMING in ABAP builder by using ABAP 4th generation languge. This may be related to any module of my SAP ERP 2004 like HR, FICO.SD,MM,CRM Etc.,
