UNICODE system Indicator!

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to identify a particular system whether it is unicode system or not.

Then I need to proceed for processing logic depending on the system if it

is UNICODE or else not.

Do anyone know such indicator or table field which indicates system is UNICODE system?

Thanks,

Hi Yogesh,

In the menu System ->Status, You can find it.

If Uncicode System has 'Yes' Under SAP System data tab, then it is Unicode System, otherwise, it is non-unicode system.

Hi Vinay,

Thanks but I need this indication in terms of table or field.

for example SY-SYSID shows name of a particular system,

if system is 'ABC' it the SY-SYSID = 'ABC'.

The logic required is as below

IF SYSTEM = 'UNICODE'.

Process logic X.

ELSEIF SYSTEM NE 'UNICODE'.

Process Logic Y.

ENDIF.

So here I need such indicator as to check SYSTEM = 'UNICODE'.

or SYSTEM NE 'UNICODE' in my program.

Thanks,

Hi Yogesh,

Then You can do as per Rich mention code.There is no field of table which indicates whether it is a unicode or non-unicode system.

<b>if cl_abap_char_utilities=>charsize = 1.</b>

Process logic X.

ELSE

Process Logic Y.

ENDIF.

Well the way that the system does it when you look at the status using the menu option System -> Status.... is like this.

if cl_abap_char_utilities=>charsize = 1.
  unicode_sys = 'nein'(003).    "  No
else.
  unicode_sys = 'ja'(004).     " Yes
endif.
