Impact on using function modules that are flagged as obsolete

Former Member — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:39:37 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I'm working on a SAP 4.7 instance and we are soon to be going Unicode enabled. I noticed when running transaction UCCHECK that there are a number of function modules such as "POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_WITH_MESSAGE" and "POPUP_TO_DECIDE" as well as others that are flagged as obsolete, I'm not sure why these are not picked up in UCCHECK. However, can someone tell me what the impact would be if these obsolete functions were left as is and not changed?

Thanks in advance

I think donward compability is ensured by SAP though some statements/functions are flagged as obsolette. In my opinion no worry to use that ones after an upgrade.

Regards

Marcin

Since these function modules are not compatable with the Unicode check, these will flag by UCCHECK. During the upgradation we need to implement the function modules which are replaced by these obsolute function modules. In later versions SAP may not support these function modules .

Thanks for your responses, I agree with you both.

my view was that after we go unicode enabled all function modules that are flagged for deletion will still perform as they do now, however, as Praveen says this may not be the case in later versions.

Thanks
