Generate BOR in Unicode system?

hello,
In the non-unicode system, We transfer to a unicode system a bussiness object (BOR) and the try to generate this with transaction SWO1 to have the programm unicode ( With unicode check) , But we always get error " its attribute is not uniocde" and we can not generate ? Is there any way to generate this object ?
Thanks in advance

First create the BOR without the Unicode Check. After Generating this go to transaction code UCCHECK make it unicode enabled.

Convert_otf in unicode system

Hello,
we have switched a CRM4.0 system from non-unicode to unicode. In this context we became two problems with the result of the function module 'CONVERT_OTF'. We call the function Module following:
call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
   exporting
     format                      = 'PDF'
     max_linewidth               = 132
     copynumber                  = 0
   importing
     bin_filesize                = lv_bin_filesizepdf
    tables
     otf                         = it_otfdata
     lines                       = lt_lines_pdf
the otf tabel is generated by a Smartform.
Noticeable is, that the pdf table in the unicode system has similarly only the half quantity of rows than in the non-unicode system. (The parameter FLATE_COMPR_OFF in Report RSTXPDF3 allways is on)
1. Problem
We send the pdf table (lt_lines_pdf) via RFC to a non-unicode R/3 system and save it there on the file system. After switching to unicode, the document in the RFC system is damaged an cannot processed.
2. Problem
We transform the lt_lines_pdf for an archive in the following way.
data: ls_data    type char1024
    , lv_134     type char134
    , ls_lines   type tline
    , lt_data    type standard table of tbl1024
field-symbols: <fs> type tbl1024.
assign ls_data to <fs> casting.
lv_count = 0.
loop at lt_lines_pdf into ls_lines.
    lv_134 = ls_lines.
    lv_offset = lv_count.
    lv_count = lv_count + 134.
    if lv_count < 1024.
      ls_data+lv_offset(134) = lv_134.
    else.
      lv_count = lv_count - 1024.
      lv_begin = 134 - lv_count.
      ls_data+lv_offset(lv_begin) = lv_134(lv_begin).
      append <fs> to lt_data.
      clear ls_data.
      if lv_count > 0.
        ls_data = lv_134+lv_begin(*).
      endif.
    endif.
endloop.
if ls_data is not initial.
    append <fs> to lt_data.
endif.
We need lt_data for the FM 'SCMS_AO_TABLE_CREATE'.
I hope anybody can help me, I invest already much time in this problem!

Hi,
CONVERT_OTF packs two byte into one character of i-tab LINES on unicode systems. If you pass this via RFC to non-unicode systems data ist lost. The table contents are bytes when if the data type is character. The conversion routines between unicode and non-unicode do not know about this.
However the function module contains an export paramter BIN_FILE. This parameter is of type XSTRING, which has always a byte-representation. This datatype will not be converted between RFC-calls.

Regenerate decision tree for transfering to unicode system.

Hello,
We upgraded the system to a unicode system and we're getting runtime errors using PB infotypes (pb20/pb30) for the
generated forums in the decision tree.
The error thrown is unicode compatability, If I make a "false" change in a certain decision tree for a field, the form is regenerated and It works.
The problem is , that I have over 200 fields for decision trees, and I need them all regenerated.
Someone gave me report "RPUMKG00" as a solution (activation type 1), but It does not regenerate the forms in a unicode mode.
does anybody have any ideas?
thanks.

Errors in PDF converter for Unicode systems

Hello experts,
I have some problems with the PDF conversion in a Unicode system.
I have to convert a smartform to PDF using CONVERT_OTF. I have implemented SAP notes 812821 and 999712.
The problem is that the special characters(diacritics, language specific characters) are overlapped in the generated PDF document. Does anyone knows what is the problem? I don't know what to do anymore...

LIS structure in a converted unicode system

Hello all,
We are in the process of converting to unicode. We have successfully created a unicode test system and converted our data and programs. We have set the unicode flag on most of our "Z" programs and for the most part things are working well. However, we are getting the following error:
In program "RMCX0002 ", the following syntax error occurred
in the Include "RMCX0002 " in line 0:
"The program "RMCX0002" is not Unicode-compatible, according to its program attributes."
It looks to me like RMCX0002 is a generated program from an LIS Info-structure.(whatever that is???) The documentation block looks like this:
*   Generated report for statistics update LIS                         *
*   Info-Structure: S510                                               *
*   Update group..: 000001                                             *
*   DDIC-Structure: S510                                               *

*   Do not change this report !                                        *
When looking at the attributes of the program I see that, indeed, the unicode attribute is not set. However, I am reluctant to set this flag myself due to it being a SAP generated program.
Is there a way to get this attribute set by regenerating these LIS structures or something like that? If so, how do I do that? and does it need to be in a unicode system, or can we do it in our non-unicode DEV system and transport it to the unicode system?
BTW, I have no idea what an LIS structure is or what is used for. I just know it's not working in our unicode system.
Thanks,

I have a similar issue. And I was told that if I regenerated the infostructure in MC25 it will solve the dump. And it did.
Now what I want to know is how did the regeneration solved the unicode issue for the RMCX* update program of an infostruc? I read before regeneration updates the infostructures with the latest numbers to be used by the BW.
I'd like to know how the infostruc regeneration and unicoding the update program are connected.
Thanks!

Where to perform UCCHECK etc in a UNICODE System or NonUNicode System

Hi ,
Inorder to find out Our system is Unicode System or not , generally we can do that by ...... System --> Status .
Here in my case My Sytem is not a Unicode System.
But My project is a Combined Upgrade and Unicode . We are doing the UCCHECK for Unicode Errors.
My doubt is We have to perform UCCHECK etc in a UNICODE System or in a NonUNicode System ?
Thanks in advance
Sriram..

Hi

Re: Upgrade 4.6 to ECC - What are the responsibilites
regarding Unicode influence in Standard programs
Very good document:
http://www.doag.org/pub/docs/sig/sap/2004-03/Buhlinger_Maxi_Version.pdf
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d37d1ad9-0b01-0010-ed9f-bc3222312dd8

You need to use the transaction UCCHECK.
The report documentation is here
ABAP Unicode Scan Tool UCCHECK
You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
Some application-specific checks, which draw your attention to program points that are not Unicode-compatible, are also integrated.
Selection of Objects:
The program objects can be selected according to object name, object type, author (TADIR), package, and original system. For the Unicode syntax check, only object types for which an independent syntax check can be carried out are appropriate. The following object types are possibilities:
PROG Report
CLAS Class
FUGR Function groups
FUGX Function group (with customer include, customer area)
FUGS Function group (with customer include, SAP area)
LDBA Logical Database
CNTX Context
TYPE Type pool
INTF Interface
Only Examine Programs with Non-Activated Unicode Flag
By default, the system only displays program objects that have not yet set the Unicode attribute. If you want to use UCCHECK to process program objects that have already set the attribute, you can deactivate this option.
Only Objects with TADIR Entry
By default, the system only displays program objects with a TADIR entry. If you want to examine programs that don't have a TADIR entry, for example locally generated programs without a package, you can deactivate this option.
Exclude Packages $*
By default, the system does not display program objects that are in a local, non-transportable package. If you want to examine programs that are in such a package, you can deactivate this option.
Display Modified SAP Programs Also
By default, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you also want to check SAP programs that were modified in a customer system (see transaction SE95), you can activate this option.
Maximum Number of Programs:
To avoid timeouts or unexpectedly long waiting times, the maximum number of program objects is preset to 50. If you want to examine more objects, you must increase the maximum number or run a SAMT scan (general program set processing). The latter also has the advantage that the data is stored persistently. Proceed as follows:
- Call transaction SAMT
- Create task with program RSUNISCAN_FINAL, subroutine SAMT_SEARCH
For further information refer to documentation for transaction SAMT.
Displaying Points that Cannot Be Analyzed Statically
If you choose this option, you get an overview of the program points, where a static check for Unicode syntax errors is not possible. This can be the case if, for example, parameters or field symbols are not typed or you are accessing a field or structure with variable length/offset. At these points the system only tests at runtime whether the code is sufficient for the stricter Unicode tests. If possible, you should assign types to the variables used, otherwise you must check runtime behavior after the Unicode attribute has been set.
To be able to differentiate between your own and foreign code (for example when using standard includes or generated includes), there is a selection option for the includes to be displayed. By default, the system excludes the standard includes of the view maintenance LSVIM* from the display, because they cause a large number of messages that are not relevant for the Unicode conversion. It is recommended that you also exclude the generated function group-specific includes of the view maintenance (usually L<function group name>F00 and L<function group name>I00) from the display.
Similarly to the process in the extended syntax check, you can hide the warning using the pseudo comment ("#EC *).
Applikation-Specific Checks
These checks indicate program points that represent a public interface but are not Unicode-compatible. Under Unicode, the corresponding interfaces change according to the referenced documentation and must be adapted appropriately.
View Maintenance
Parts of the view maintenance generated in older releases are not Unicode-compatible. The relevant parts can be regenerated with a service report.
UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
The function modules UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete and cannot run under Unicode. Refer to the documentation for these modules to find out which routines serve as replacements.

Error during Upgradation SCM 5.0 to SCM 5.1 Non-Unicode System

Hi,
I am Upgrading SCM 5.0 Non-Unicode System to SCM 5.1 Non-unicode on Windows 2003 Server with MSS 2005 DB. During the initial PREPARE (EXTRACTKRN_PRE) phase I am getting an error like

Again, this is a forum where the question are answered on a volunteered basis. "Demanding" help is not the way to go, you can ask for help but there's no guarantee that you'll get an answer. If you urgently need help use the official support channels or get yourself a consultant on-site who can answer all your question instantly.

It's the first entry in every forum, it contains the "Rules of Engagement" which say:
Please do not Cross post.
Post your question in the most appropriate forum; not multiple forums. This is bad netiquette and will might only aggravate potential repliers.
Just imagine if everyone like you would paste questions in several forums.

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created NON-UNICODE system

Unable to Open unix file in UNICODE system which created in NON-UNICODE system
We have two SAP systems both are ECC6.0 but System 1 is NON-Unicode and System2 is Unicode system.
There is a common unix directory/folder for both system.
Our requirement is to create one file on unix common folder and write the data to file from system1 .
In system2 open the same file for appending mode to write the data .
The file in system 1 created with below sentence.
OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
Now I have to append the data from system 2 to same file.
I have tried to used below statement in system 2 to open the file but sy-subrc value comes as '8'.
1> OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
2>OPEN DATASET g_unix_file FOR APPENDING IN legacy TEXT MODE CODE PAGE

Tried out all the possibilities as per F1 help given for open dataset , but still there is problem with opn file in appending as well output mode.However the file successfully open in Input mode(Read).
Please advice suggestion to resolve this issue.

In unicode system: Express document" update was terminated

Hi Friends,
When we create a PO / Delivery / Sales / Billing documents in UNICODE Systems
we are getting message
"Express document" update was terminated"
this is coming before we save the transaction. Could any body help on this .

Hi,
Express error due to many reasons,
1. If any Sap scripts/forms using then is that unicode compliant? check if any errors
2. Verify the SAP Notes for that service pack, as there might be some bugs in the system
3. Verify the problem might due to user exists or BADIs.

Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system

Hello,
we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.

Alexander

Hi,
without conversion client copy is not possible

GUI_DOWNLOAD problem in unicode system

Hi Guru's,
I am facing one prolem in gui_download. we are doing unicode remediation in one report. In the program one internal table declared as of type c with length 255 and data filled into the internal table by importing the data ifrom cluster. After that this internal table used by ws_download function moduel with file type as BIN to download it in word doc file. We replaced the function module with gui_download. It is working fine in non-unicode system but it is not downloading properly in the unicode system.
i am unable to find what is the cause.. I tried with different different codepages giving in run time..it is not solving my problem.

GUI_DOWNLOAD problems with CR+LF when transfering from unicode system

Hi,
I was successfuly used FM GUI_DOWNLOAD in a non-unicode systems for years. Lately I faced a challenge to rewrite my code for a unicode system. The configuration is:
- SAP R/3 unicode system;
- data to be downloaded at presentation server in a non-unicode codepage (cp 9504).
I have successfuly used a GUI_DOWNLOAD-parameter CODEPAGE and the data is translated correctly when checking local file, but due to some reasons CRLF are replaced with '#' (which is default value of REPLACEMENT parameter of this function) - means at the end of each row as a result I have '##' instead of CRLF.
My question is: how can I force correct behaviour of GUI_DOWNLOAD in order to get my output file at presentation server with CR+LF?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

P.S. In order to find some other way to fix my problem I'm still playing with the instanciation of a CL_ABAP_CONV_OBJ and its methods create & convert, but without success for now - resulted strings are not as expected.

Hi,
in fact, I never placed CRLF in my lines before your suggestion. The rest was done by the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'. It works fine even when I use unicode file as output - means I got my CRLF at the end of the record in MY OUTPUT FILE ONLY but not in my internal table - I never placed CR+LF in there.
The problem occures when I tried to use GUI_DOWNLOAD with parameter CODEPAGE = '9504' (some non-unicode codepage), and the original data (my internal table) is in unicode. Then (in my opinion) this function doesn't translate the unicoded CR+LF into non-unicode ones (if thats possible at all, I can't be sure) and the result is '##' in the output file.
I checked the value of CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF by getting it in my variable - and it is '##'.
Whet should I put into this class-attribute in order to get it working in this scenario? I have no idea...
The attribute type is ABAP_CR_LF - which is char 2.
What next?
Thanks,
Ivaylo

Create PDF with CONVERT_OTF in Unicode system

Hi,
I try to create a PDF file from OTF input with function module CONVERT_OTF.
It worked in a non-unicode environment with problems.
If I use the same coding in a unicode system (6.0) and OTF input
contains real doublebyte unicode characters like arabian/greek characters,
the PDF file shows wrong characters like "ÔÑÙàÜÐÕÞÙ Ôâé" instead of
"רבדל הצור %לועה" or "ЉЊЋЌЎЏАБВГόψχΩΨΧ".
I enable the developer trace for CONVERT_OTF, but the trace also
shows the correct unicode characters.
If I create a PDF file with PDF Creater with the same input on my computer,
PDF file looks fine. SAP PDF file uses Font enconding 'Windows', PDF Creator
uses a 'Custom' font encoding.
Any idea, that's going wrong here?
I install TrueType fonts like described in SAP note 999712 with no success,
but this note refers to SAP_BASIS 011, which is not yet available on SAP Marketplace
(latest is 010 today).
Is there any other configuration to enable PDF unicode support?
Print preview from other SAP transactions looks fine with unicode characters.
thanks for help

I found a solution, but I am not sure, if it was for this problem or
output problem with for example PL in non-unicode systems.
I created the input for CONVERT_OTF with CALL FUNCTION 'PRINT_TEXT'.
PRINT_TEXT has to be called with DEVICE = 'PRINTER',
DEVICE = 'ABAP' uses internally the wrong code page.
You have also to set otf_options-tdprinter to a valid printer,
if it is empty, the default printer from user settings is used.
You can use code example from SAP note 413295.
Before you call CONVERT_OTF, you can also check entries with 'FC' in OTF input.
The font (see description of OTF format in SAP help) must be set like described in SAP note 144718.

Export / Import   to memory Id 2 . ( Unicode System)

hi all ,
we get unicode syntax error for the statement
   EXPORT d1200 TO MEMORY ID 2.
Error discription is -
2 must be a character-type field (data type C, N, D, or T) . "INTERFACE".
We get similar error in import statement as well.
Please refer this code ..........

         formbez LIKE makt-maktx,

       END   OF d1200.
EXPORT d1200 TO MEMORY ID 2.

Unicode systems have a problem in that you can't define stuff as type X. Structures also have to be properly "bounded". You can also no longer rely on code such as field1+7(9) .
You could define your structure as a STRING and delimit the fields with say a tab symbol ( use the attribute in cl_abap_utilities to get the tab char in a unicode system).
export the string to memory.
on the import end use the SPLIT command on the string to re-create your data elements.
You will then have to manage the decimal arithmetic yourself.
It's a pain - but that's largely the point of Unicode --everything is treated as TYPE C.
Structures containing anything other than type C data are also a real problem if you want to upload / download data. Handling Binary files is a nightmare.
There are some SAP supplied utilities / notes / documentations on converting to a Unicode system.

Problem with Mail-Attachments in an Unicode-Systems

Hi everybody,
we have a problem mailing a attachment by using the class CL_DOCUMENT_BCS in a Unicode system, WAS 7.0
We attach a textfile using the method
    CALL METHOD lr_document->add_attachment
        EXPORTING
          i_attachment_type    = lv_extension
          i_attachment_subject = lv_dateiname
          i_att_content_text   = oti_object.
The mail should have a TXT-file in ASCII.
With NOTEPAD, the attachment looks fine.
However with WORDPAD and other applications, all german characters are two bytes, so it seems to be in a UTF-8 format.
Is it possible to say the class, that the attachment should be ASCII?
Regards,
Stefan
