In SE38, click the blue icon with the "I" in it. Click "New Features in ABAP". There should be a subfolder there which says "ABAP Changes by Release".

Regards,

Hi Ravi,

First of all you need to check the 'UNICODE CHECKS ACTIVE' and initial steps to be taken care as follows:

1)Replace the sy-repid with the variable v_repid by passing sy-repid to it.

2)Replace the FM WS_UPLOAD/WS_DOWNLOAD UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD

with the GUI_UPLOAD & GUI_DOWNLOAD.

3)The assignment like IT_ITAB1[] = IT_ITAB2[] is not possible in the ECC 5.0 untill & unless both are of the similar structure. It gives a syntax error.

4)Replace '09'(Hexadecimal character) by declaring a varibale and assigning the value of ABAP_CHAR_UTILITES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB which is in the class ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.

Like these there are many things to be noted down.

I can send you the detailed document on the ECC 5.0 and Unicode compliant details if you give your mail id so that I can attach the same to you.

Reward if it helps you.

Cheers,

Sampath.
