Activating Unicode check at global/workbench level

In order to Unicode-enable at the ABAP level, you need to check the box "Activate Unicode check" in the attributes of your ABAP program.

I would like to know whether its possible to do the same at a global level.

Haresh:

If you donot want to activate check Unicode at the ABAP Program Level then the Unicode Option should have been selected at the time of R3 Installation, once it is set you cannot change it unless you re-install R3 again.You can check if your system is set for Unicode or not under System>>>>Status under the block for SAP System Data, where it says "Yes" OR "No" for unicode.I would recommed you to check this with your Basis Person.

Hope this helps.

Thnx for ur reply Gisk. I am however not sure whether I have completely understood ur suggestion.

R u trying to imply that it is possible to globally activate Unicode at the time of R3 installation? Meaning, if u install an R3 system with Unicode, Unicode will be enabled by default for all new ABAP programs?

Please clarify.

Thnx for ur time.

Hi!

Installing a R/3 Unicode System and activating your ABAP Program for Unicode Check are two different things.

First if you want a complete R/3 system with Unicode Active, then you should have a Unicode Kernel & Unicode Database and the decision whether you want it to be unicode is decided during R/3 Installation.

Secondly, Irrespective of whether you have a Unicode or Non-Unicode System, your ABAP programs can be activated for Unicode Check.The only condition is that if you have a Non-Unicode R/3 system you can Check or Uncheck the box for Unicode in the ABAP Program Attributes.Whereas if you have a Unicode System then in the ABAP program attributes it needs to be turned on for all ABAP Programs for the system to check for unicode syntaxes.

I understand your initial question was to Activate "n" ABAP Programs for Unicode all at one place instead of doing each one at the Program attributes.

I believe this is how unicode works!

Pl look at the topic

"Unicode-Enabling of ABAP Programs"

for detailed understanding, if you have not seen it yet.
