Migrate step. Unicode transaction

[juanluis_ragel]

Hi,

I'm migrating from 4.6d to mysap. And now I'm cheking with uccheck (transx) my custom programs for unicode enviroment.

I have a lot of warnings because i use obsolete functions modules (ws_upload and ws_download). And my cuestion is: Would I have to change every program from ws_upload/ws_download functions to gui_upload/gui_donwload functions?

If yes, Are there any source abap program to do it automatically?

A lot of thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Hi,

You need to correct each program manually and below are few reasons.

1. Apart from the obsolete function modules there will be many other unicode related errors and upgrade related errors once you are enabling the Unicode flag in the program attributes.

2. Some of the BDC programs will not work because of change in the screen flow of higher version. Also note that some of the transaction codes itself will be obsolete in higher version.

3. There may be syntax errors because of non availability of fields in respective tables of higher version. Also some syntax are changed in higher version.

Apart from the above there are so many other reasons because of which custom programs will not work in higher version.

Thanks,

Satya

Hi Juan,

As the UCCheck shows a warning message but still ws_upload/ws_download will work.
