Good morning everyone. This is a SAP term from an access path (from a manual for closing the accounts of a manufacturing company) and I'm wondering if this is 'range', or 'environment', or something quite different. Not having much luck on the web- probably not looking for the right thing! Any computer / SAP whizzes out there? Your help is much appreciated- these terms are so specific!

Explanation:
Im not a SAP expert, but I've decided to play devil´s advocate : )

Generally, the word environment is used in the software/computing industry. Here are a couple of examples from IATE:

Derecho administrativo, Informática y tratamiento de datos [EP] Ficha completa
ES entorno ofimático
EN office system environment


Política de comunicación [EP] Ficha completa
ES entorno multicampo
EN multi-domain environment

The article in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_R/3) states:
SAP R/3 functionality is structured using its own proprietary language called ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming). ABAP, or ABAP/4 is a fourth generation language (4GL), geared towards the creation of simple, yet powerful programs. R/3 also offers a complete development environment where developers can either modify existing SAP code to modify existing functionality or develop their own functions, whether reports or complete transactional systems within the SAP framework.
