Hello.

Last year we made upgrade to a unicode system without problems. In SE38 program atributes, you have a flag called "Unicode checks active" and this is unmarked. So old program will continue to work.

Here, we are now changing old ones, everytime we need to change one. And new ones are done with unicode checks active.

Regards.

Valter Oliveira.

hey

the most common errors

Open Dataset...you will have to use encoding default as an addition

CALL FUNCTION 'UPLOAD' which is now obsolete

will get replaced by

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload

and similarly with download

CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

Hi ,

following are some of the errors faced while unicode upgradation,

1.> You need to remove obsolete FM like Upload/Download/ws_upload/ws_download

2.> Need to add Encoding Default for Open Dataset.

3.> Get /Set parameter need to be replaced by Import /Export

4.> You can use method Fill_container / Read_container

of class CL_ABAP_CONTAINER_UTILITIES.

5.> Do not forget to Activate unicode flag in Program attributes

Thanks,

Gaurav J.
