Is there a How-to guide on Unicode conversion?

I searched SDN and SMP but did not see an all-in-one how to guide for unicode
conversion.
Could you help provide one? Thanks!

All the info you need is on SMP.... look at http://service.sap.com/unicode

Could you pls give the details about the Unicode conversion during Upgrade

Hi,
Can anyone give details about the Unicode conversion during SAP Upgradation fro 4.6C to ECC6.
Waiting for quick response
Best Regards,
Padhy

Hi,
These are the few points i gathered during my upgradation project.
Before starting any upgradation project, it is necessary to take up the back-up of the existing systems. As we are going to upgrade the entire system, we will be changing so many things and if something happens, without back-up, we will be in a trouble.
So it is advised to keep a back-up of the existing system.
Say for example we have the existing system E4B which is of Version 4.6C. Now we want to upgrade it to Version 4.7. Let us see how we can do it.
Version upgrades not only means that we need to run the new Version CD over the existing Version System but only involves some other thing.
Version Upgrade involves the following Steps.
Say we want to upgrade for Version 4.7 from Version 4.6, which is in the System E4B. Now we created one more system called as E1B in which the upgradation for Version 4.7 can be done.
First copy the entire E4B system into the E1B System which is created for Version 4.7.
Apply the Version 4.7 CD provided by SAP over the E1B System.
Now check whether all the functionalities that was in E4B system works fine with E1B system also.
Thus the Version Upgrade involves two steps.
1. SAP Upgradation with the help of the CD
2. Manual Upgradation.
1. SAP Upgradation with the help of the CD
This is nothing but after taking the copy of the existing system into a new system, the upgradation CD from SAP is applied over the new system.
2. Manual Upgradation.
This Manual Upgradation involves
2.1 Upgradation of Standard Objects
2.1.1 SPAU Objects
2.1.2 SPDD Objects
2.2 Upgradation of Custom Objects.
Upgradation of Custom Objects can be placed under the following three categories.
Unicode Compliance
Retrofit
Upgrade
Please Find below some of the common Unicode Errors and their solutions
1. Error:
In case of Translate Error; Dangerous use of Translate in Multilingual system.
Correction:
To correct the Error occurring on TRANSLATE statement use this additional statement before the Translate statement.
SET LOCALE LANGUAGE sy-langu.
This statement defines the Text Environment of all the programs & internal sessions in the language specified in the LANGUAGE KEY, which in this case is sy-langu, i.e. the log on language of the user.
2. Error:
In case of Open Dataset Error; Encoding Addition must be included.
Correction:
This Error occurs only when the MODE is TEXT.
To correct the Error occurring on OPEN DATASET statement use this statement instead.
OPEN DATASET dataset_name FOR access IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
Where: dataset_name NAME OF THE DATASET.
Access INPUT or OUTPUT or APPENDING or UPDATE.
DEFAULT - Corresponds to UTF-8 in UNICODE systems &
NON_UNICODE in NON-UNICODE systems.
3. Error:
In case of the usage of the Obsolete FM UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD; Function module UPLOAD is flagged as obsolete.
Correction:
The FM GUI_DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD is used.
The variations to be made in the parameters of the FM:
1. Filename It must be of STRING type.
2. Filetype DAT is not used any longer, instead ASC is used.
3. Field Separator The default value SPACE is used, incase for a TAB separated file X can be used.
4. Error:
In case of CURRENCY/UNIT Addition Error; Use addition CURRENCY/UNIT when outputting.
Correction:
The CURRENCY addition specifies the currency-dependant decimal places for the output of the data objects of type i or p. To obtain the currency-key, the field CURRKEY of the table TCURX is used. The system determines the number of the decimal places from the field CURRDEC of the selected CURRKEY.
To correct this error follow the following method:
WRITE: /3 'TOTAL',' ', TOTAL.
WRITE: /3 TOTAL, , TOTAL CURRENCY 2. --- Where 2is the Currency Key for Getting 2 decimal places.
5. Error:
In case of TYPE X Error; Variable must be of C, N, D, T or STRING type.
Correction:
We need to change all the Type X (Hexadecimal) variables to Type C with their values unchanged.
So the method to be followed is:-
1. Load the definition of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE or CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.
2. Declare the variable as Type C, and use the method UCCP(XXXX) of the class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE where XXXX represents the 8-bit Hexadecimal value and incase the variable holds a Hex value for a Horizontal Tab , then the Attribute HORIZONTAL_TAB of the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES can be used directly instead of using the method UCCP.
E.g.:
i) *DATA: TAB TYPE X VALUE 09, Tab character
CLASS: CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES DEFINITION LOAD.
DATA TAB TYPE C VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
ii) * DATA: CHAR TYPE X VALUE 160.
CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.
DATA CHAR TYPE C.
CHAR = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP(00AO).
(Here 00A0 is the Hexadecimal equivalent of the decimal 160).
3. Incase the TYPE X Variable has a length more than 1, then an internal table must be created for the variable.
E.g.:
CLASS: CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE DEFINITION LOAD.
DATA : LF(2) TYPE X VALUE 'F5CD'.
DATA : BEGIN OF LF,
A1 TYPE C,
A2 TYPE C,
END OF LF.
LF-A1 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00F5').
LF-A2 = CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE=>UCCP('00CD').
6. Error:
In case of the Character -Error; The Character -cant appear in names in Unicode Programs.
Correction:
The Character -(Hyphen) appearing in Variable names is replaced by the character _ (Under Score) for Unicode/Upgrade Compliance.
E.g.:
*wk-belnr LIKE bkpf-belnr,
*wk-xblnr LIKE bkpf-xblnr,
*wk-date LIKE sy-datum,
*wk-wrbtr LIKE bseg-wrbtr,
*wk-name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
*wk-voucher(8) TYPE c.
wk_belnr LIKE bkpf-belnr,
wk_xblnr LIKE bkpf-xblnr,
wk_date LIKE sy-datum,
wk_wrbtr LIKE bseg-wrbtr,
wk_name1 LIKE lfa1-name1,
wk_voucher(8) TYPE c.
7. Error:
In case of The SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL Error; you should not use the statement SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL without the WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO addition.
Correction:
1. Declare variables of type PRI_PARAMS, ARC_PARAMS, and a variable of TYPE C which would be used as a VALID FLAG.
2. Call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_MODE = '3'
DESTINATION = P_DEST
IMMEDIATELY = 'X'
IMPORTING
OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = archive_parameters
OUT_PARAMETERS = print_parameters
VALID = valid_flag
EXCEPTIONS
INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2
OTHERS = 4
3. Use the SUBMIT-TO-SAP-SPOOL statement.
E.g.:
     submit zrppt500
     using selection-set 'AUTO3'
     with res_no eq lo_rsnum
     with sreserv in preserv
     to sap-spool destination p_dest
     immediately 'X'. "print immediate
DATA: print_parameters type pri_params,
archive_parameters type arc_params,
valid_flag(1) type c.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_MODE = '3'
DESTINATION = P_DEST
IMMEDIATELY = 'X'
IMPORTING
OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = archive_parameters
OUT_PARAMETERS = print_parameters
VALID = valid_flag
EXCEPTIONS
INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2
OTHERS = 4
Submit zrppt500
Using selection-set 'AUTO3'
With res_no eq lo_rsnum
with sreserv in preserv
to sap-spool
SPOOL PARAMETERS PRINT_PARAMETERS
ARCHIVE PARAMETERS ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.
8. Error:
In case of Message Error; Number of WITH fields and number of Place Holders are not same .
Correction:
Split the statement after WITH into the same number as the place holder for that Message ID.
E.g.:
1. * MESSAGE E045.
MESSAGE E045 WITH '' ''.
2. in program ZIPI0801
     Start of change for ECC6
     message e398(00) with 'Could not find access sequence'
     'for condition type:'
     p_ptype.
message e398(00) with 'Could not find '
'access sequence'
'for condition type:'
p_ptype.
     End of change made for ECC6
9. Error:
In case of Move between 2 different Structures; The structures are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program.
Correction:
Make both the Data Types compatible and then assign the contents.
E.g.:
The statement move retainage_text to temp_text. Gives an error, where RETAINAGE_TEXT is an internal table and TEMP_TEXT is a string of length 200.
A Feasible solution for this is to specify from which position to which position of the string, the fields of RETAINAGE_TEXT should be assigned.
TEMP_TEXT+0(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DQ1.
TEMP_TEXT+1(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-HEX.
TEMP_TEXT+2(20) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-FILLER1.
TEMP_TEXT+22(15) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-AMT_DUE.
TEMP_TEXT+37(8) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-TEXT.
TEMP_TEXT+45(10) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DUE_DATE.
TEMP_TEXT+55(1) = RETAINAGE_TEXT-DQ2.
10. Error:
In case of no description found; add a GUI title.
Correction:
In this type of error gui title is generally missing so add a GUI title to the module pool.
11. Error:
In case of writing internal or transparent table
Correction:
Write individual fields.
E.g.:
WRITE: / EXT. --> EXT should be a character type field
WRITE: / EXT-ZZSTATE, EXT-LINE_NO, EXT-LINE_TXT, EXT-AMT, EXT-ZZSKUQTY.
12. Error:
In case of combination reference table/field S541-UMMENGE does not exist
Correction:
Was due to error in reference table S541. TABLE S541 has errors
1)Foreign key S541- ZZMARKET (ZZMARKET AND KATR2 point to different domains)
2)Foreign key S541-ZZACQUIGRP (ZZACQUIGRP AND KATR8 point to different domains)
Changed the domain of ZZMARKET (from ZMKCODE to ATTR2)
And that of ZMKCODE (from ZACCODE to ATTR8)
13. Error:
In case of KEY does not exist
Correction:
The reference table for field KBETR was KNOV earlier changed it to RV61A as KNOV was in turn referring to RV61A.
14. Error:
Incase of WRITE statement, Literals that take more than one line is not permitted in Unicode systems.
Correction: To correct this error, we need to align the spaces accordingly so that the statement doesnt go beyond the line.
15. Error:
Incase of Data statement, The data type ZWFHTML can be enhanced in any way. After a structure enhancement, this assignment or parameter might be syntactically incorrect..
Correction: To correct this error, instead of like in the Data statement, use type.
16. Error:
Incase of DESCRIBE statement, DESCRIBE can be used only with IN BYTE... Or IN CHARACTER mode in Unicode systems.
Correction: To correct this error, use additional text, IN BYTE MODE / IN CHARACTER MODE along with this statement.
CHARACTER MODE is added when the data object is of flat/ character type.
BYTE MODE is added when the data object is a deep structure.
Syntax: DESCRIBE FIELD data_obj : LENGTH blen IN BYTE MODE,
LENGTH clen IN CHARACTER MODE.
Where blen and clen must be of type I.
17. Error:
Incase of DO-LOOP Error, In Do loop range addition needed
Correction:
An internal tables is declared and the two fields (VARYING field and NEXT field) were
Included inside the internal table
E.g.: In program SAPMZP02
DO 11 TIMES
     VARYING STATION_STATE FROM STATION1 NEXT STATION2. ECC6
CASE SYST-INDEX.
WHEN 1
STATION_STATE = STATION1.
WHEN 2
STATION_STATE = STATION2.
WHEN 3
STATION_STATE = STATION3.
WHEN 4
STATION_STATE = STATION4.
WHEN 5
STATION_STATE = STATION5.
WHEN 6
STATION_STATE = STATION6.
WHEN 7
STATION_STATE = STATION7.
WHEN 8
STATION_STATE = STATION8.
WHEN 9
STATION_STATE = STATION9.
WHEN 10
STATION_STATE = STATION10.
WHEN 11
STATION_STATE = STATION11.
18. Error:
Incase of the parameter QUEUE-ID Error, QUEUE-ID is neither a parameter nor a select option in program rsbdcbtc.
Correction:
The parameter in program rsbdcbtc is QUEUE_ID and so is changed in this program
E.g.: In program Z_CARRIER_EDI_INTERFACE
     submit rsbdcbtc with queue-id = apqi-qid and return. "ECC6
     The parameter name changed by replacing '-' with '_' as in program rsbdcbtc "ECC6
Submit rsbdcbtc with queue_id = apqi-qid and return. "ECC6
19. Error:
Incase of EPC Error, Field symbol <TOT_FLD> is not assigned to a field .
Correction:
This error couldn't be rectified as the error occurs in a Standard SAP include- LSVIMF29.
The OS Note - 1036943 needs to be applied.
Error:
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
Correct:
OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
Error:
Constants : c_tab type x value '09' .
Correct:
Constants : c_tab type abap_char1 value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab .
Error:
Data : begin of output_options occurs 0 . Include structure ssfcompop.
Data : end of output_options .
Correct:
Data : output_options type standard table of ssfcompop with header line .
Error:
PARAMETERS : NAST TYPE NAST .
Correct:
PARAMETERS : NAST TYPE NAST NO-DISPLAY .
Replace WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_UPLOAD by
GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD and check the import and export parameter types , do the changes accordingly. Because FILENAME paramater type is different because of this it will give dump.
For issue during Issue using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 Function module, the solution is After this FM we should put COMMIT WORK.
Issue:
Moving data from one structure to another structure if those two structures are not compatible
Solution:
we should use move-corresponding or field by filed we need to move it.
If database structures are different in 4.6c and ECC6.0,
Then we should go with append structure concept.
While testing the report if it gives dump at Select query level or any database or view level,then just goto that table or view and goto the data base utility(se14) adjust the database. But make sure that selected radio button in se14 transaction should be activate and adjust database

Should modifiable transports be released before the unicode conversion?

We are getting started on the unicode conversion soon in our DEV environment. Should we go ahead and release the open/modifiable transports before the conversion? IS there a reason for that? Since this is unlike an SAP upgrade, can we release them later after the conversion is complete. Any insight?
Thanks.

Hi,
I Suppose its not must , as i have done lot of language import with open transport request.

How to go for Unicode conversion?

Hi All,
Presently i'm upgrading my SAP 4.7 system (6.2 WAS) in to ERP 2004 (6.40 WAS), which is an non-unicode upgrade.
Now should i first complete Unicode conversion or apply the latest SP stack.
Also please tell me how this Support pack will affect me in Unicode conversion?
Order of this steps will be really helpful for smooth flow of work
Thanks in Advance

If you have already completed your upgrade, the best practice would be to install the SP stack first in order to have the latest updates available for the unicode migration tools. Then proceed with the unicode migration. There are slight differences in the process between support packages where you may have to create a migration program manually in an older support package and the very same migration program is included in the later support package. SAP publishes separate unicode migration guides, based on the support package level, due to these updates.

How to get the unicode escapes for characters outside a characterset

Hi!
I'm tryiing to edit into a RTF file and have been fairly successful so far. But living outside the U.S i need some characters outside ASCII. Those characters are supposed to be escaped as unicode-escapes, eg \u45. But I can't find a way to get the escapesequense for the unicode-characters that lives outside ASCII.
I'm guessing that this is a very simple thing to do but I have not been lucky with google so far.
So, how do I get the unicode escapes for characters outside a characterset?
Thanks in advance
Roland Carlsson

I'm tryiing to edit into a RTF file and have been
fairly successful so far. But living outside the U.S
i need some characters outside ASCII. Those
characters are supposed to be escaped as
unicode-escapes, eg \u45. But I can't find a way to
get the escapesequense for the unicode-characters
that lives outside ASCII.You are asking about RTF and not java correct?
As a guess....
Unicode is 32 bit (presumably you are not using the newest one.) Thus it requires a 32 bit representation. Thus \u45 actually is the same as \u0045. Thus something like \u1e45 would probably work.

How to disable the automatic conversion from JPEG to TIFF?

I am using Keynote '09 and Safari 4 on OS X 10.6.8, and I often want to drag and drop a JPEG image from Safari to my slides. I would like to keep the image format as is, but Keynote automatically converts the image format from JPEG to TIFF, so the .key file size becomes large.
Does anyone know how to disable this automatic conversion? Any idea? I know that I can use the original format if I save the JPEG image at a temporary location, such as ~/Desktop. But I would prefer simpler way. Drag and drop is the best.

Indeed, having the same problem here. A simple PPT file that was 1 MB ballons often to more than 10 x the size as a KEY file. If you rename to zip and open, one notices lots of completely useless "PLACEHOLDER" and background files that occupy several MB in total, plus some small JPGs have been converted to very large PNGs. This is truly annoying.
A similar lack of "file size economy" is present in all applications apple produces for the ipad/iphone. Images I uplodaded to the photo app become very large (often 10 x bigger). WTH apple? Be more economical! Even my 64 GB ipad2 is starting to feel small with your waste.

How to change the Qty Conversion on a Purchase Info Record.

I am trying to change the Quantity Conversion for a particular Purchase Info Record as it is incorrect. The inputs are greyed out on the Purchasing Organization1 Data Screen. I have also gone to the Conditions screen and the Menu Selection is greyed out when I go to the Menu for EXTRAS->Conversion Factors. The Conversion Factor has been changed at the Additional Data Screen of the Material Master. Any help would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks in Advance.

I have solved this problem. From the Condition Record I went to the Menu Path, GOTO->ADDITIONAL DATA. From here I was able to go to the Conversion Factor and make the changes.

How reliable is the XML conversion tool in 10g Release 2?

Hello,
I'm just starting to look at the tools provided in Developer Suite, 10g Release 2, for converting forms files to XML and back again. We're thinking of storing XML in our source control, using it for impact analysis etc. However, I've seen a lot of people describing bugs to do with code being lost during the conversion process, various issues around subclassing, problems with list elements etc. So it sounds like there were still substantial problems in 10g 904.
I was wondering if anyone has been putting these tools to serious use in 10g Release 2, and if so, have they had similar problems?
Thanks in advance,
James
