What is Unicode?

Unicode is a Character encoding schema containing (almost) all characters used world wide.

It is a single code page incorporating all contemporary written languages and relevant technical disciplines (as well as many classical or historical texts of written languages) u2013 95,000+ characters to date.

Why unicode?

A SAP system can run one language at a time. In a standard setup, it is not possible to setup multiple code pages.

For R/3, SAP delivered a workaround solution called MDMP (Multi Disc Multi Processor). But, if a user wants to work simultaneously using Japanese and Chinese data itz impossible. Other solutions (BW, CRM, APO etc) are not supported under MDMP !!

To Avoid these kind of sorts sap cameup with a new teck.

SAP is not supporting further setup of MDMP systems. SAP have implemented UNICODE which contains all the characters

u can find the unicode

se38->attributes->type,status,application,package,editorlock and unicode check active,

The u201CUnicode checks activeu201D Flag must be checked in the Attributes of ABAP Programs.

Some of the useful standrd progrms:

RSVIMT_UC_VIEW_MAINT_GEN u2013 Program to regenerate the View maintenance dialogs for Unicode conversion

TWTOOL01 u2013 Program to check the system for Matchcode IDs.

SWO_SET_UC_FLAG u2013 Program to set the Unicode flag for BOR programs.

UCCHECK t/r also used to set the unicode flags in the attributes of abap program

Rewards points if usefull................

Hi Sunitha,

WELCOME TO SDN!!!

Unicode is a universal encoded character set that allows you to store information form any language using a single character set.

Unicode provides a unique code for every character, independent of platform, program or language.

In the past, SAP Developers used various code pages to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI or double-byte code pages
