1. SAP uses dialog programming to handle user interactions with SAP applications through screens. Dialog programs consist of screens, flow logic, and modules that process before and after input and output.
2. When a user presses enter or activates a function, it triggers a dialog step that executes the appropriate PBO and PAI modules to generate the next screen. This passes data between the screen and internal program areas.
3. Dialog programs provide concise summaries of technical documentation on SAP dialog processing and programming.
