My background is similar to your but I went the Analyst programmer path and there has been more than one occasion where I have been grateful for learning my trade under sysprogs who cherished every operation and every slice of memory.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Things aren't so different these days in SAP land and the premise that being a competent programmer is far more valuable than being able to code still holds true.   Language is essentially irrelevant in the end ... that's what manuals are for,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These days I run data conversion teams and I will always take programmers and techno-functional guys that understand business processes over those that simply "know ABAP" or "know LSMW".&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I liked reading your comment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Damian Cox</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Damian Cox</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:50:09 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
