I am doing this for past 1.5 years. As I am in support project I must adhere to rotational shifts so I am afraid I may not get much time to learn other modules. Now I am really confused whether to switch back to Java or be hang around with SAP and learn other modules like Abap, SD etc., please advice.
You don't know ABAP? Learn ABAP for sure, if you are going to do SAP work.
If you know any 3GL (cobol, basic, C etc ...) AND any 4GL type language (Informix SQL, oracle Forms, etc ...) ABAP is easy to pick up. It also has events (I don't know if many other 3GL languages typically have that concept.)
While ABAP does have an objects, so much of the code was written before that functionality existed.
I know I had trouble learning Java (after never before having trouble picking up a programming language).
I think it is because the paradigm shifted, and some of it because I am getting old.
Is it normal now that a large percent of programmers are very language specific, and can not easily (by just looking up syntax) work with another programming language (either doing development or troubleshooting).
