Hi,

When you check the program in SLIN/syntax check, it will give the unicode related error information.

Ex. In your program the FM: WS_UPLOAD. When you do syntax/SLIN check, it will give that the function module is obsolute or not, any unicode related error is there.

Hi,

In the older SAP version, Unicode was not present , which made it impossible for some East Asian countries like China , Japan , Korea etc to use SAP as their language was not supported by SAP. Until then SAP supported only ASCII and EBCDIC character sets.

In order to provide better compatibililty and services to East Asian Countries, SAP introduced Unicode. It is also an encoding technique like ASCII that follows ISO standards and covers almost all languages.

In this each character uses 2 bytes and this allows 65534 different combinations of characters.

So when u select UNICODE CHECK ACTIVE, syntax check is done pertinent to Unicode format.

Reward if helpful.

Regards.
