ABAP on HANA: How to Achieve a 30–40% Salary Increase

How to upgrade from classic ABAP to ABAP on HANA and target stronger career opportunities. Includes CDS, AMDP, salary data and a 90-day plan. WC Skills guide 2026.

Problem: The Salary Ceiling of Classic ABAP

As S/4HANA migration continues, companies are modernizing classic ABAP roles. Demand for classic ABAP remains, but developers with CDS and AMDP skills can access broader opportunities.

Solution: 4 Skills That Can Increase Your Market Value

  • CDS Views — from basic concepts to consumption views, including associations and annotations
  • AMDP + SQLScript — code pushdown, database par heavy lifting
  • Modern Open SQL — strict modes, new syntax
  • RAP basics — Fiori-ready development

These four skills can make a significant difference in interviews.

Real Salary Data (India 2026)

Classic ABAP (4–6 yrs): Rs.12–18 LPA
ABAP on HANA (same experience): Rs.16–26 LPA
CDS/AMDP specialist roles: Rs.20–35 LPA

Same experience, same person — the difference comes from the skill set.

90-Day Upgrade Plan

Days 1–30: Modern Open SQL + CDS fundamentals

Days 61–90: RAP, performance tuning + mock interviews
