- Since the ABAP cheat sheets provide information in a nutshell, they do not claim to be fully comprehensive as far as the described syntax and concepts are concerned. If you need more details, you can always consult the ABAP Keyword Documentation, for example, by choosing *F1* on a keyword in your code, or by searching directly using the online or the system-internal version.
- Unless otherwise stated in the cheat sheets, the content of this repository is relevant for these ABAP language versions, with a focus on ABAP for Cloud Development, particularly in the SAP BTP ABAP Environment ⚠️:
- [ABAP for Cloud Development](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/index.htm?file=abenabap_for_sap_cloud_glosry.htm): Restricted ABAP language scope for [ABAP Cloud](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenabap_cloud_glosry.htm) → [Online version of the documentation](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm)
- [Standard ABAP](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/index.htm?file=abenstandard_abap_glosry.htm): Unrestricted ABAP language scope, for example, for [classic ABAP](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenclassic_abap_glosry.htm) → [Online version of the documentation (latest version)](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/index.htm?file=abenabap.htm)
- Some of the embedded code snippets in the cheat sheets only display high-level code patterns, while others are fully functional and can be directly copied into an ABAP test program for exploration.
- Check the [Known Issues](#-known-issues) and [Disclaimer](#%EF%B8%8F-disclaimer).
- The cheat sheets provide links to glossary entries and topics in the ABAP Keyword Documentation. Note that unlike the classic ABAP-only cheat sheets, in most cases these links refer to ABAP for Cloud Development.
- [Here](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenrestricted_abap_elements.htm) is an overview of the different ABAP language elements in the different ABAP versions, i.e. what is allowed in ABAP Cloud and what is not. See also the released APIs [here](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenreleased_apis.htm).
- In order to have all ABAP cheat sheet documents in one place, the *main* branch (for examples to be imported into the SAP BTP ABAP environment) also contains the ABAP cheat sheet documents that are only relevant for [Standard ABAP](https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_cp_index_htm/CLOUD/en-US/index.htm?file=abenstandard_abap_glosry.htm).
- The example classes contained in the branches for classic ABAP mostly use syntax that is also available in ABAP for Cloud Development. Only the `TEST_ABAP_CHEAT_SHEETS_CLASSIC` subpackage contains syntax relevant to Standard ABAP and that is not available in ABAP for Cloud Development, such as dynpro-related ABAP keywords.
- The code snippets in the ABAP cheat sheet documents and the executable examples include many comments. While it is generally not recommended to overuse comments in your code, they are used here to explain and provide context directly where it is needed. In many cases, they illustrate the results of ABAP statements.
- As previously mentioned, the cheat sheet documents and examples primarily focus on syntax options. Most of the executable examples, code snippets, names of data objects, classes, methods, interfaces, etc., are nonsemantic.
- Many ABAP statements allow additions in various orders, and these orders are not always fixed.

>- Check the notes on the context and the ABAP syntax used that are included as comments in the class.
>- Due to the amount of output in the console, the examples include numbers (e.g. 1) ..., 2) ..., 3) ...) that represent the headers of each example code section. Also, in most cases, the variable name is displayed in the console. Therefore, to find the relevant output in the console more easily and quickly, simply search the console for the number (e.g. search for *3)* for the particular output) or variable name (*CTRL+F* in the console), or use breakpoints in the code to check variables in the debugger.
>- You may want to clear the console by right-clicking in the console and choosing *Clear* before running another demo class to avoid confusing the output of multiple classes.
