    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 …
