As an ABAP developer, I thought "that doesn't sound too bad".
I definitely need to get out of there before my brain rots further.

Those are the keywords, about a third of that list is obsolete and you usually need multiple of them to make a valid statement. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

- nottheengineer 3y agoAt SAP, you get to use all the latest features and are free to change basically anything. On the customer/consulting side, we get to work around terrible ancient standard implementations and our products need to work on old systems, so 700 syntax it is. And don't get me started on forms.
