Hi

ABAP and Unicode

From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode. Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes – such as ASCII and EBCDIC – or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.

This switch to Unicode affects all statements where an explicit or implicit assumption is made about the internal length of a character. If you use these statements in a program that is designed to exploit the Unicode capabilities of the runtime environment, they must be checked and changed if necessary. Once a Unicode-enabled program has been changed accordingly, it behaves in the same way in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems. You can develop programs in a non-Unicode system (NUS) and then import them into a Unicode system (US). The following sections describe the conversions that are necessary:

Hi,

When u migrate ur system to ECC then it require all zobject should pass unicode check it is an standard format of SAP like ASCII u can get detail of this by reading SAP Help Library.

Further u can get all affected object by unicode from tcode UCCHECK just put Z* in object name and fill parameter MAXIMUM NO OF PROGRAM then execute it will give list of all unicode affected prgrams comonly programs are related to obslete function module like UPLOAD,DOWNALOD,WS_UPLOAD,WS_DOWNLOAD has been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD it may give error in Open dataset statment if encoding and mode addition was not defined it can gice error on describe field statement if mode(Character or byte) is not specify.

These are the common error related to unicode hope this will help u a lot.

Rewards Point if helpful.

hi pavan,

<b>what is unicode?</b>

<b>what is unicode enabled program?</b>

A Unicode-enabled ABAP program is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system as in a Unicode system .In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
