Don't know, but you can find out a lot more about SAP and ABAP by visiting http://sap.ittoolbox.com/ than by asking a group of Oracle junkies.

Guess where the AS400 stuff is - yep, http://www.as400.ibm.com/. If you type http://www.informix.com/, you'll get redirected to an IBM site. That must tell you that their popularity went the way of the web site.

Whenever I see A/P I think of Accounts Payable, where cash flows out of your company. For the company where I work, Oracle has a corresponding general ledger entry called A/R. Received on Fri Jan 10 2003 - 11:18:59 CST
