<i><b>Unicode -</b></i> an international standard that supports virtually all of the languages and scripts used in the world, ensuring that they function no matter what the language or platform. Future versions of SAP applications will be exclusively in 64-bit and Unicode starting in 2007.

Hello,

<b>BAPI :</b> It is a RFC enabled Function module, this Function should not have Exceptions and should use BAPIRET2 as return parameter for different messages. it can be associated with a business object for complete implementation.

<b>BAPI vs BDC:</b>

BDC

1) Performs all openrations by going from screen to screen in a sequence as recorded by the developer & on saving it commits the database.

2) Data validation happens with screen logic

3) Limited reusability

4) Generally it is a report program

BAPI

1) Performs direct database commits.

2) Explict code for data validation

3) Easy to reuse

4) It is Function Module based

Hope it make some sense. Thanks!!

Vishal
