  Hi,

  CONSTANTS: C_SOUL_SAP       TYPE CHAR4 VALUE  'ABAP',
                        C_BONDING           TYPE CHAR1  VALUE '+',
                        C_CODE_DEVELOPER TYPE CHAR9  VALUE  'DEVELOPER'.
   
  DATA:    V_JUST_FASCINATING TYPE STRING.
   
  CONCATENATE C_SOUL_SAP  
                             C_BONDING
                             C_CODE_DEVELOPER+7(2) INTO V_JUST_FASCINATING.
   
  CONDENSE V_JUST_FASCINATING NO-GAPS.

  ABAPER : Feels like some noun 😀

  Thanks

  Hi,

  I voted against the term ABAPER.
  I’m a software developer, may I call myself a software craftsman? And I regard myself independent from the language I use, though in my job it’s ABAP ( currently, who knows what the future will bring? ).

  Regards,
  Dirk

  Voted – Hate the term

  People who use term ABAP’er probably just don’t know the areas of work involved as an SAP Technical Consultant.

  Do we call a functional consultant FI’er or SD’er or PP’er ?

  There is lot more stuff we do as technical consultants than just do some coding in ABAP. Being a SAP Technical consultant, we need to be aware of many SAP modules, multiple areas of work involving the RICEFW…

  Where are we heading — WDA’er / Portal’er ?

  Using the term ABAP’er just doesn’t make sense.

  I hate being called ABAPer,
  The correct terminology is SAP ABAP Developer.

  Just imagine if Java developers are called javer ,
  .neters , phpers etc …
