Hi All,
With SAP going in for NetWeaver in next 12 months, what is the future for ABApers in the new environment?Will they have to learn Java or will ABAP be there?Will they have to become Techno-Functional?Is core ABAP destined for doom?What do ABAPers have to do to survive in the new environment?

Hi Srikar,
you might know that we are make a living from selling applications which are now developed since more then 12 years. I'd say 90% of our applications of today are written in ABAP. And they are running longterm in mission critical environments.
<b>Nobody</b> will take the risk to rewrite all theses applications for the sake to have them in Java.
NetWeaver is a Technology that contains both and will keep both technologies for the forseeable time. There is no intention nor even the possibility to change this fact.

I guess we need to learn Java. Java is supposed to be a core language and nobody can escape from it. Alongwith Java, we need to learn other technologies too. Thats what I feel. Tell me, when SAP can incorporate J2EE environment within 3 years, why wont they be able to convert Java code for ABAP code. ABAP would be there just for name sake. One has to accept the new technology and learn.

There are also a lot of new thing in ABAP for new releases to learn.
You can check the news for WAS 6.40 in the TechEd ABAP related presentations (eg. Shared Memory, Assertion, Memory inspector, etc).
