Unicode/ECC6.0 Upgrade Question

[Former Member]

We are going to upgrade to ECC 6.0 soon and are working on making the system unicode compliant. Is it manditory to fix all the ws_download and ws_upload functions to gui_upload and gui_download?

Thanks,

Hi David,

Yes, this is one of the requirements to change all WS_DOWNLOAD & WS_UPLOAD funciton modules. Program which are having this function modules are displayed in UCCHECK transaction when you check for unicode compatability.

We have done two upgrades with unicode conversions and we have changed all programs which were using WS_UPLOAD & WS_DOWNLOAD function modules with either GUI_UPLOAD & GUI_DOWNLOAD or using ABAP methods, which ever you are comfortable with.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

I have similar question. Some programs used ws_upload function. However, after checked the unicode attribute, it can compile without any error. Also, it can execute and work correctly. (using ANSI file, with just English)

[ before modify the attribute, the program cannot run and result in syntax error due to program attribute, that means my system just allow unicode program ]

I want to know if the program not modified, will it hit problem if upload unicode file or if the ANSI file include double byte characters (such as Chinese).

TIA

Dear David,

Yes, because iff its unicode upgrade project, very first step you have to check is attributes of the program, activate the "unicode check active" checkbox. Next you have to goto "UCCHECK" transaction, there it will throws all errors like unicode errors and Obsolete FMs(ws_download,ws_upload,upload,download,popup_to_confirm_step,,etc). After this if you have any doubts on Obsolete function modules, goto Extended program check for that object, in that, it will shows all Obsolete FMs(it will displayed in 3rd row "call function interface warnings".

Let me know if you have any queries.
