Unicode check in 4.6C
Hi All ,
Is there any way to have the unicode check feature i.e.UCCHECK in R/3 4.6C environment ? please let me know if anyone has any clue.
Regards
Yogesh
Hello Yogesh
The report Peter mentioned is <b>RSUNISCAN</b>. The output of the report looks like this:
ABAP Unicode Scan
This program finds coding that does not yet correspond to the restrictive Unicode syntax
(Based on the ABAP Unicode design of June 1999) It finds most of the affected coding, but not all of it.
The main aim of the program is to give you an idea of the kinds of coding that need to be changed for Unicode.
It generates error messages for code that will have to be changed later, and for which there are means in 4.6B for doing so
It generates warnings for cases that will have to be changed later, but where the required statements will
not be avilable until Release 5.0. ...

How to do the Unicode Check for Business Objects ?
Hi all,
How to do the Unicode Check for Business Objects ?
Note: All business Objects are stored in BOR (Business Objects Repositary)
Thanks in advance
Sri..Hi..
i have used the UCCHECK transaction for some business Objects
For some business objects it is showing that No Unicode Errors found Ex: Z00MARA
and for Business Objects it showing the message like : There is no program corresponding to this selection.
Why system is showing like this ?
Thanks in advance

Isn't unicode check defaulted in ECC 6.0 ?
I see a checkbox called unicode check box in the attributes when I create the ABAP program. This check is to make sure that during sytanx check the system will perform unicode check.
Now, I had an assumption that this check box is used only when you are executing programs on lower level of SAP like SAP 4.6C or 4.7 to ensure that programs are checked for unicode check.
But, I see that in ECC 6.0 also if you don't use this check box the system will bypass the unicode check. I thought that in ECC 6.0 , unicode check is done by default, but it does not sound like that .
Can someone throw some light on this ?

Rajesh.Hello Rajesh
I do not think so. You could do the following test on your system (Unicode or non-Unicode?):
Write a simple ABAP report and try move data between a structured and an unstructured variable, e.g.:
DATA: gd_string TYPE string. " unstructured, C-container
DATA: gs_kna1 TYPE kna1.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM kna1 INTO gs_kna1.
gd_string = gs_kna1. " should give Unicode error -> use instead cl_abap_container_utilities class

Hi,
I have used this stmt (DESCRIBE FIELD GT_TLINE LENGTH fle1 )
to get the length of fields but i am getting errors based on unicode check like
describe length can only be in byte mode or character mode.
My program is about converting the output of smartform to pdf and send as an attachment to email.
Can any one answer me on this issue.
Thanks,
lalitha.Hi,
For this u shud use DESCRIBE FIELD GT_LINE LENGTH fle1 in BYTE/CHARACTER MODE as per the new guidelines for Unicode check
The description of BYTE/CHARACTER MODE says like this :
The length directly used by the data object dobj in the memory is determined in bytes or characters depending on the addition MODE and is assigned to the data object ilen. The data type i is expected for ilen.
You must specify the addition MODE in Unicode programs. The variant with the addition IN BYTE MODE determines the length of the data object dobj in bytes. The variant with the addition IN CHARACTER MODE determines the length of the data object dobj in characters. When using IN CHARACTER MODE, the data type of dobj must be flat and character-type. You can only specify IN BYTE MODE for deep data types and in this case, the length of the reference (8 bytes) is determined.
In non-Unicode programs and in releases prior to 6.10, LENGTH can be used without the addition MODE. In this case, the addition IN BYTE MODE is used implicitly
Note
For data objects with a fixed length, the length is determined that is specified during the creation of the data object. To determine the the used length of character-type data objects without counting the trailing spaces, you can use the built-in function strlen.

Hi
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/79/c55458b3dc11d5993800508b6b8b11/content.htm
Check for the following errors
object must be a character type data object
In Unicode, the addition IN BYTE/CHARACTER MODE must be specified
The access and storage modes ACCESS and MODE must be specified
var1 and var2 are not mutually convertible. In Unicode programs must have the same type/structure
TRANSLATE CODE PAGE/NUMBER FORMAT not allowed
The data type/structure objetcs in 'ADD' statement should have same type
The data type/structure "&1" and "&2" are should have same type
IN TEXT MODE the addition ENCODING must be specified
Structures "&1" and "&2" are not mutually convertible.
The ENCODING addition is not valid in BINARY mode
The IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS addition is not valid in BINARY mode
The REPLACEMENT CHARACTER addition is not valid in BINARY mode
Check for the Customer code pages and use the tcodes SCOV and SPUMG .

Getting errors while conversion of ABAP program into Unicode check
Hi,
I changed the one ABAP program for some requirement and try to save it, it is giving error that the program is not unicode compatible.I set the unicode checks active box under Attributes and again activate it .It is not allowing to concatenate the two variables which is declared as follows :
constants: c_tab type x value '09', "tab character
c_cr type x value '0D'. "carriage return character
I tried to use field symbols but still giving error (code after change)
constants: c_tab type x value '09', "tab character
c_cr type x value '0D'. "carriage return character
field-symbols : <f_c_tab> type any,
<f_c_cr> type any.
Assign c_tab to <f_c_tab> CASTING type c.
Assign c_cr to <f_c_cr> CASTING type c.
error :The length of "C_TAB" in bytes must be a multiple of the size of a Unicode character (regardless of the size of the Unicode character).
pls guide me so that I can cancatenate the c_tab and c_cr variablesHi,
Tab Character ----->Data: tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
Carraige Return---->Data : cr(2) type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf..
You will not be able to use the concatenate statement for hexadecimal variables in unciode system.
Try using the above equivalent character variables. In unicode system avoid using hexadecimal variables wherever possible

Attribute 'Unicode checks active'
Hi,
we just made an upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0.
The unicode conversion check and the unicode conversion itself is done.
Each Abap program that has the attribute 'Unicode checks active' not checked ( off ), is causing a syntax error in the new system. Up till now we manually adjusted each attribute of each program, just to get the basic business transactions running.
My question is: what went wrong, and what is the best way of solving all this errors at once ?
Thanks in advance,
RolfRolf,
I'm using ECC 6.0. I tried to do what you suggested for setting unicode flag active for a bunch of programs. Unfortunatelly, I'm bumping in the following problem:
I run UCCHECK and I get "green light" for some objects that don't have unicode flag active yet. So I click on the correspondent line and after on "Set Unicode Attribute" button. I get a pop-up saying that unicode is set active and program is written into a transport request... i click on OK. Another pop-up comes up. "Set Unicode Flag?", I click on Yes. Then, another pop-up comes up saying "Set Flag for Error-Free Programs Only?". I tried Yes, and I get this information message "The current system is not the original system". I tried also NO, but same message is shown.
Any idea on how to get it right?
Thanks. -
Unicode check for hr related prog, infotypes
hi,
Is there any function module to check the unicode for programs, infotypes, function modules, ldb, and user exits. If yes what is the function module. If it is no tell me how to solve this issue.
thanks & regards,
Sekhar.Hi,
I want to get the errors when i am passing the program name or function group or user exit by passing these into UCCHECK tcode by writing a program if it is not unicode checked.
thanks & regards,

How to activate unicode check flag
How do we activate the "unicode check" flag for programs generated by workflow objects.
Hi ,
My problem is solved ....
i found that after executing UCCHECK transaction code ,in display you will find one button on rigth side
"set unicode attribute" . after selecting no of programs at once we can press that butoon .
The Unicode flag is set for the selected programs. The programs are
written into interactively selectable transport requests and generated.
You must later release the transport requests.
I hope this will be helpfull to all.

Set the Unicode check flag for all programs.
Hello friends,
We are now upgrading our ecc6 system to unicode. The problem is that all our programs
are not flaged for unicode checks and there for have syntax errors. I now how to mark
this flag for a single program but how can I do it to all programs?
I realy need your help.
Thanks in advance,
Gershon.Hi Gershon,
In general, transaction UCCHECK is designed to cover all Unicode adaptations needed. The guide called
u201CRequirements of ABAP Programs in Unicode Systemsu201D, which can be found via:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b02d3594-ae48-2a10-83a7-89d369b708e5
gives customers a comprehensive description of possible errors. Please also have a look at the docu provided directly in transaction UCCHECK. In addition, SAP notes 1322715 (search for UCCHECK) and 1319517 (point 8.) might be helpful.
Please note that customer programs have to be adapted - simply setting the Unicode flag works only for the objects with a green traffic light in UCCHECK .
Best regards,

Wat is the importance of unicode check
hi
when i m creating program using se38 in attributes i found unicode check box.. can any body tells the importance of this check box..
thanks...hi..
Before release 6.10, SAP software used character sets based on codes such as ASCII and EBCDIC. In these codes, every character is displayed by one byte; therefore character sets like these are also called single-byte codepages. Since they are only one byte, a maximum of only 256 characters was possible. Due to this, each language had its own character set or this character set was suitable for only some languages. There are also other languages such as Japanese ,Chinese etc which required 2 byte since one byte is not sufficient for displaying all the character set of an East Asian languages, so double-byte codepages are used in which every character consists of one or two bytes.
u2022 ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encodes each character using 1 byte = 8 bit. This makes it possible to represent a maximum of 28 = 256 characters to which the combinations [00000000, 11111111] are assigned.
u2022 EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters.
u2022 Double-byte code pages require 1 or 2 bytes for each character. This allows you to form 216 = 65536 combinations where usually only 10,000 - 15,000 characters are used.
Using these character sets, you can account for each language relevant to the SAP System. However, problems occur if you want to merge texts from different incompatible character sets in a central system. Equally, exchanging data between systems with incompatible character sets can result in unprecedented situations.
Unicode is a universal encoded character set that allows you to store information from any language using a single character set.
Unicode provides a unique code for every character, independent platform, program or language.

Plz tell me wht type of errors might occur while doing unicode check?
Plz tell me wht is unicode and unicode checkhi pavan,
<b>what is unicode?</b>
From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode. Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes such as ASCII and EBCDIC or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.
<b>what is unicode enabled program?</b>
A Unicode-enabled ABAP program is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system as in a Unicode system .In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
<b>Type of errors in unocode check.</b>
This switch to Unicode affects all statements where an explicit or implicit assumption is made about the internal length of a character. If you use these statements in a program that is designed to exploit the Unicode capabilities of the runtime environment, they must be checked and changed if necessary. Once a Unicode-enabled program has been changed accordingly, it behaves in the same way in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems. You can develop programs in a non-Unicode system (NUS) and then import them into a Unicode system (US).
