Hi Vibha,

ECC->enterprise central component.ECC 6.0 is the advanced version.if we consider in technical point of view then i can give u one example.

In the new version we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S.SAP has provided these ,so that without going for access keys we can write our code in the enhancement points along with Standard SAP code.So now SAP has provided more user friendly environment.Also a new DEBUGGER also arrived with the new version.Now we can see more things in the new er version of DEBUGGER.

Thanks.

From the ABAP perspective, few differences are.

The WS_* function modules used in 4.6c has become obsolete from 4.7C. All the WS_* FMs have been replaced by GUI_* FMs.

(ii) Concept of Unicode is introduced.

(iii) Few tables have been modified in ECC6.0.

Tables TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively.

(iv) we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S . and we can write the part of code in those points.

Hi,

From an ABAP point of view, there are not many changes, its just the WAS(web appl server) has changed frm 6.20 to 6.40 and also the new features are in the form of classes / methods.

in other words

4.7 is based on Basis 6.20

ECC 5.00 is part of mySAP ERP 2004 which is based on Netweaver (including SAP WebAS 6.40)

Hi,

The difference from an ABAP point would be the presence of Unicode mostly. Compatibility issues arise from the MOVE statement for example. You would need to use MOVE_CORRESPONDING a LOT OFTEN.

When using OPEN DATASETS you would need to add the 'ENCODING DEFAULT' option.

MODIFY statements too pose compatibility issues.

Some Function Modules have become Obsolete. e.g. POPUP_TO_CONFIRM has replaced some of the older POPUP versions.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE used inside type declarations need to have an addition 'AS GROUPNAME'.
