Tools to modify ABAP programs for Unicode compliance?

Former Member — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 23:56:23 GMT

Are there any tools that modify ABAP programs to correct Unicode syntax errors/warnings and automatically make the ABAP programs Unicode compliant?

(I know that if it were completely obvious what was intended SAP could have interpretted the ABAP statement that way without producing a message. So I know that this can't really be completely automatic with no human intelligence. But I'm looking for tools that make the job easier, perhaps with some notice to the programmer about what was done so he can change it - or perhaps with a question to the programmer about what the intent was, so he can direct the tool about which interpretation to make.)

hi,

you dont have any tool for automatic conversion of your ABAP Code into Unicode Complaint..

Cheers,

Abdul Hakim

Try using transaction UCCHECK which can give you the list of programs which have unicode compatable errors even with the line numbers referring to the statement.

I do have a document prepared personally which lists out the type of errors and action to be taken basing on the Error Code. Please let me know incase you are interested.

Thanks

Hello David

You have transaction UCCHECK available (>= 6.20) to check if your customer programs are already unicode-enabled. Another testing transaction is SAKB5 which checks the enhancement category of tables/structures (while it was no problem to append tables/structures in any way in a non-unicode system we may run into trouble here in a unicode system).

On the ALV list that is displayed by UCCHECK you can directly jump to the coding of the program objects that are not yet unicode-enabled. To make it unicode-enabled you have to change the coding yourself.

The only thing where SAP automates conversion are maintenance views. Using report RSVIMT_NON_UC_VIM_AREAS you get a list of function modules and views that need to be converted to unicode.

Using report RSVIMT_UC_VIEW_MAINT_GEN you can automatically convert the views.

However, if you have defined events in your views you have to correct them yourself because SAP does and cannot take care of them.

I have already converted a large software package that we have developed inhouse to unicode including maintenance views and it worked fine.

Regards

Uwe
