Hi

The SAP COmpany, waldorf, germany goes on changing the Versions of SAP from year to year with new technologies, which is common feature with respect to every software.

So similarly SAp which started with 3.) version , has gone through many versions, like 3.0f.3.1 g, h. 4.0 B , 4.6 B. 4.6c and 4.7(enterprise), ECC5.0 and the latest with ECC6.0

so as the version goes on certain objects become obsolete and new objects are coming in their place.

and also SAp recently saying that it is going to stop the support for lower versions.

So because of this every SAp customer wants to go for the latest versions, which is nothing but Upgrade

so care has to be taken, such that all your old objects were to work perfectly in the new version also.

You have to aware of all related program like BDC's , Screens related errors and all dictionary related problems.

Some function modules may become obsolete, and some screens will change

abnd some new fields will be added in the new versions etc.

Also take care of SPAU and SPDD tcodes.

You should be able to know about Unicode concept in sap.
