Hello,

steps:

go to the program attributes.

check the box " unicode check active" in order to make ur program unicode compatible & activate the program.

go to transaction UCCHECK & give the program name and execute.

all the error under unicode environment are shown.

here are few points about unicode environment.

A Unicode SAP system

enables you to harness internet technologies better.

allows better integration with non-SAP products and seamless integration with existing SAP systems.

offers a superior platform for collaborative, cross-system business applications.

all languages and language combinations in the world!

allows you to install a central system for worldwide business processes, e.g. to gather and store aggregate customer data.

enables you to optimize your system landscape and reduce your costs.

advantages of Unicode

Unicode provides the solution to the problem of multiple, possibly incompatible code pages:

Unicode currently defines over 98,000 characters, with room for over 1 million characters.

Unicode defines each character only once

Unicode can be used for the system code page, front end, and printing

In a Unicode SAP system you can display and maintain character data from any language with any logon language. For example, you can logon to your system in Japanese and maintain Russian data.

The size and scope of Unicode have made it the default character encoding of the Internet communication, such as XML, Java, and HTML, because Internet communication has to function no matter what the platform, no matter what the program, no matter what the language.

To check your program, use the transaction UCCHECK to determine if your programs are ABAP 6.10 compliant; In additional, programs should be tested to catch non-static errors that appear at run-time. Use the transaction SCOV to monitor the testing.
