In SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming), the difficulty of topics can vary depending on an individual's experience and background. However, some of the most challenging topics in SAP ABAP include:

1. Advanced ABAP (ABAP Objects - OO ABAP)

• Transitioning from procedural ABAP to object-oriented ABAP can be difficult, as it requires understanding concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and events.
• Designing complex classes and frameworks adds to the challenge.

2. Enhancement Framework (User Exits, BADIs, and Enhancement Points)

• Understanding how to properly implement and manage enhancements without affecting standard functionality can be tough, especially when dealing with different types of enhancements (classic BADI vs. new BADI, enhancement spots, etc.).

3. ALV (ABAP List Viewer) with OO ABAP

• ALV reporting with the object-oriented approach can be more complex than the traditional methods, as it involves multiple classes and interfaces for handling lists and grids.

4. Performance Optimization

• Writing efficient and optimized code in ABAP, particularly in large, complex systems, is challenging.
• Dealing with database performance issues like using proper indexes, joins, and minimizing database round trips requires an in-depth understanding of performance tuning.

5. ABAP Web Dynpro and FPM (Floor Plan Manager)

• Developing applications with Web Dynpro ABAP involves a steep learning curve, especially managing UI elements, context binding, and data flow.
• FPM requires additional understanding of pre-built floor plan applications and customizing them.

6. SAP HANA and ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP)

• With the rise of SAP HANA, working with AMDP and CDS (Core Data Services) views to leverage the in-memory capabilities can be quite difficult.
• Understanding how to push down logic to the database and effectively using SAP HANA-specific features adds complexity.

7. SAP Gateway and OData Services

• Creating OData services using SAP Gateway can be difficult, especially handling different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and managing complex scenarios like deep entity sets, batch processing, and filters.

8. IDocs and ALE/EDI

• Handling IDocs and configuring ALE (Application Link Enabling) or EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) involves a deep understanding of data exchange mechanisms and error handling, making it one of the tougher areas for ABAP developers.

9. SmartForms and SAPScripts

• Designing complex forms with SmartForms or SAPScript can be challenging due to the tool’s limitations, complexities in handling conditions, and aligning the output.

10. SAP S/4HANA Migration and Custom Code Adaptation

• Adapting and converting legacy ABAP code to be compatible with SAP S/4HANA is a complex task. It involves adjusting code for HANA’s database and removing obsolete functionalities.

Each of these topics requires a good grasp of both technical concepts and business logic, which adds to the difficulty.
