Hi Hussain,

The possible changes you are talking about are just a part of all the changes that are to be made in an Upgrade.

However, as far as my knowledge is concerned, you need to re-declare variables declared as hexadecimal type, and replace with abap class utilities, for Unicode related errors.

Apart from this, you need to also , change the obsolete function modules like WS_UPLOAD , WS_DOWNLOAD etc.

Thanks,

Ravi

ABAP Source code is only one part going to unicode. To check ABAP source code check transaction UCCHECK. But honestly, i think this TA is not available in 4.6. Upgrade to ECC first und go to unicode in a second step.
