Changes req for Zprograms in MM module with multiple lang support

[Former Member]

hi all ,

I have a requirement to enable zprograms into unicode for the chinese project. I have done it thru Uccheck and all the programs are unicode enabled .

1.MY QUESTION IS WHETHER I NEED TO DO ANY MORE CHANGES IN THE PROGRAMS SO THAT WHEN THE COMPANY IMPLEMENT THESE ZPROGRAMS , WILL THEY WORK PROPERLY IN CHINESE LOGIN AS earlier DEFAULT LANGUAGE was GERMAN...

2. how the screens fields will look if the login is chinese and is data consistent.

Any help is higly appreciated .

Hi Amarnath

Itz always better to have manual test by executing all the programs as UCCHECK can avoid syntax errors. Using this we can not identify all run-time errors.

Hi

Normal executions shouldnt be a problem. Hope the programs are handled to scatter for different languages. Mainly the data to be considered is like, material descriptions, address details...

Concentrate more on the interfaces if any - Communicating with external systems. We have to consider whether the external system can accept Unicode data or atleast the required code pages acceptable.

Below are few cases that i remember as of now from my experience:

Few systems can not accept unicode data, so in that case the data downloading should be done in NON-UNICODE format.

If the external system can not recognize required code page then the data sent in chineese will not be recognizable.

Hope the above info can give you some more idea.

Thanks eswar , i have one more question for you. do i need to change the write statement in every program as when i check the programs with unicode .. write statement is not giving me any error.

Hi

I guess write statements shouldnt be a problem as long as we handle with offset. With offset we can mainly take care of alignment problems if any.
