Classes (ABAP objects) versus Business Objects

[Rickayzen, Alan]

Raf,
The reason that there are two environments is simply historical. ABAP became
object orientated at a later stage, but the "B" in Business Objects is the
significant part.
 
BOR is the Business Object Repository of the SAP world. ABAP Objects is a
useful programming technology, devoid of business logic.
 
Business Objects can be called easily from ABAP reports. There's a good
online tutorial on this included with the workflow tutorials.
 
Kind regards,
 
Alan Rickayzen

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
