SAP Interview Questions - ABAP

There are lot of materials available in the internet regarding interview questions on ABAP - Technical. Here I have tried to accumulate some of them. These questions are mostly faced by me (When I get interviewed) or asked by me (when I interview others). I made two distinct parts as ’Purely Technical’ and ’Basic Functional’. I feel that some basic functional (read domain) knowledge is also necessary to flourish as a Good Technical Resource. Purely Technical Questions : What is the difference between Explicit Commit and Implicit Commit ? What is the difference between SAP LUW (Logical Unit of Work) and Database LUW ? What is the difference between Internal Session and External Session ? Give Examples What are the work-processes in BASIS Layer ? What are the different types of RFC s? What is the difference between V1 update and V2 Update ? Why does BAPI need explicit commit ? What is the difference between COMMIT and COMMIT WORK AND WAIT statements ? Why we pass parameters in RFC
