Classes (ABAP objects) versus Business Objects

[Raskin, Alon (Soliance)]

Hi Raf,
 
ABAP Objects are the new generation of ABAP which is delivered by SAP. I
believe it has been officially supported by SAP in 4.5 (even though it was
available in a limited form in 4.0). Eventually SAP will make the BOR
obselete and I believe that ABAP objects will be used by Workflow (as well
as standard ABAP report/enhancements). I am not sure the exact link between
BOR and ABAP Objects but I suspect SAP will provide some sort of wrapper
class so we can use them interchangably.
 
I have attached a document that I created for one of my training courses. It
is a summary of the major macros used in Business Objects. It may be of
interest to the whole user's group.
 
Regards,

Ps. Let me know if you find any errors!!

Can anybody explain me
* why there are two environments for creating object type: the class builder
(ABAP objects) and the business object builder (BOR)
* what is the link between both types of business objects
* how I reference a business object in a ABAP report, and call a business
object method in this environment
 
Thanks, Raf
