Hi experts,

Can anybody please give me a list of all the changes in ABAP language, that are made from 4.6c to ECC5.0.

Thanks in advance,

This can be found from se38

I don't remember which menu but it exists there

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".

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.
