Regarding Unicode : cl_abap_char_utilities= horizontal_tab

Hi,
i have one doubt,i below mentioned is unicode syntax
can u please explain this.
What is horizotal_tab
data: l_tab(1) type c
value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
Regards,
Kalidas.T

This means the the variable l_tab is equal to TAB.
Example:
>data: lv type string,
> l_tab(1) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
>CONCATANATE 'a' 'b' 'c' into lv SEPARATED BY l_tab.
the String will have value like
a b c.
the blank spaces between abc will be TABS.
hope this helps.

Problem with cl_abap_char_utilities= horizontal_tab in Unicode system

Hello Experts,
My code in 4.7 system was,
*DATA: gf_tab TYPE x VALUE '9'.
CONCATENATE '[bc^bd128]' gp_user gf_tab gp_pw '[/]'
INTO gf_anmeldung.
WRITE: 30 gf_anmeldung.*
The output will be printed to a barcode printer and we get the barcode. The barcode contains, the user name, tab delimiter and the password.
Now, Using a scanner (handheld device) we scan the barcode. The scanner is connected to the SAP server. So as we give the user name and the password in the SAP easy access screen, the scanner takes the values from the barcode. This means, the user name from the barcode ->to the user name field, tab delimter -> to come to the next field, password from the barcode ->to the password field. This logins the SAP in the handheld device.
Now, in ECC 6 system, the code was changed as below,
DATA: gf_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
After this change, now the scanner is not recognizing and throws the error "fill in all the required fields"
I am not sure, if it is not retrieving the user name or the tab delimiter is creating the problem.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Balaji

Hi ,
I think in the older version u r using the '09' as the end of line , So in the barcode it is consideringthe user id and then thinking that end of line and putting the next string say password in the correct postion.
Try to use the CR_LF( Carriage return and line feed).
Try this.

Regarding UNICODE CHECK ERROR

HI everybody
I have the problem to replace the old TRANSLATE-command with CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE.
Before the code was like:
TRANSLATE NAMEN FROM CODE PAGE '1800' TO CODE PAGE '9011'.(in 4.7EE)
Under unicode the translate statement is not allowed for changing data with codepages.
SAP is writing in the onlinedocu that there is the class cl_abap_conv_x2x_ce. I've tried this class with all the methods but couldnt get any idea. I dont know which method to use and how in ECC 6.0.
Has anyone an idea?
Please help.

HI,
There is an alternative FM 'SCP_TRANSLATE_CHARS_46 which functions similar to TRANSLATE to CODE PAGE statement.
Please refer SAP NOTE 78076

Regarding Unicode compatibility for Interfaces

Hi,
I was just trying to understand if the interfaces developed in SAP ECC 6.0 are unicode compatible.These are IDOCS that are extended.How should i check? Kindly advice.
Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
in general in a Unicode conversion project, you need to test all your interfaces.
Rather critical cases are Unicode <> MDMP and Unicode <> Double-Byte languages.
Less critical is Unicode <> Unicode.
However in all cases you need to test your scenarios.
Please also have a look at
http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000380759&_OBJECT=011000358700000061542011E

Regarding unicode object

Hi guys
After Upgrade Unicode Converstion, I found SAP standard objects(like Subroutine pool,Programs) which are not Unicode Check activated in Local objects($TMP). Could somebody know reason why it is.
And also i want to know whether we need to activate it manually for those objects.?
Because one of the SAP object(Subroutine pool) in localobject was dumping unicode compatible error. After manually checking the object unicode active, it works fine.
Suggestion please
regardss
Ambichan

Hi Prasanth,
You are right, During Basis upgrade we selected Unicode check option for unicode migration.
And also we confirmed all SAP standard objects are unicode activated. but when we saw the Standard objects in LOCAL objects($TMP SAP*), it was not unicode activated.
We are surprised why only Local Object directory objects are not unicode activated by default. Can you tell me where might be the problem.
Because recently we found Program(subroutine pool) RMCX0048 in Local object is not unicode activated flag and it throughs dump(Not unicode compatible) during MB1B transactions.After we changed RMCX0048 program as unicode active it started working correctly.
Suggestion please.<b>Any comments please</b>

Question Regarding Unicode Checks

Hi Abapers,
What is Need of Transaction:UCCODE, what are the things which i need to check after giving the program name , and executing , what sholud be the out come ... negative means what will happen....
positive means what will happen.....
With Regards
Bhaskar Rao.M

Hi,
Transaction code is UCCHECK.
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.
Also Examine Modified SAP Programs
By deafult, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you want to check SAP programs that were modified in customer systems (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.

Sruthi

Regarding unicode conversion

HI ,
i have a
string a="0621 0622 0623";
each 4 characters represents unicode character,when iam outputing the string as in following program
for(int i=0;i<a.length();i+=4){
String sub=a.substring(i,i+4);
stringbuffer.append("\\u"+sub);
then iam getting output as "\u0621 \u0622 \u0623" ,actually i should get output represented by those unicode characters 'which is an arabic characters,.
after trying i used second method like ,
for(int i=0;i<a.length();i+=4){
isub=a.substring(i,i+4);
int k=Integer.parseInt(isub,16);
stringbuffer.append(char(k));
when iam outputting stringbuffer iam getting output ???? characters,
Is there any way to convert that hexa string a, to utf-8 format,so that it can be furher processed by other application,
kindly reply,
Thanks

char c = (char) Integer.parseInt("0621", 16);
System.out.println("The character is " + c);I get ? out too, but I think this an output problem and the char inside the Java program i correct.
"\\u" + "0621" is a string consisting of 6 chars: a backslash, a u and four digits. "\u0621" is a String consisting of one char, the one with unicode value 0621. There is no direct conversion between these two Strings.

Regarding unicode basis related

Hi all
We have completed the upgrade from 4.7 to ECC.6 version.
Now we are going for unicode conversion, so for this we have changed abap programs according to UCCHECK transaction, now requests are created in the development system.
We have not released this requests, now BASIS started doing EXPORT & IMPORT of database, will these new changes under this requests will be there after the IMPORT, i mean in a UNICODE enabled system.
Kindly throw some light on this issue.
Thanks in advance

If they are released, if TMS was correctly set up so that they are on the filesystem - yes.
