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.                                                     ...

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 .

Activating Unicode check at global/workbench level

In order to Unicode-enable at the ABAP level, you need to check the box "Activate Unicode check" in the attributes of your ABAP program.
I would like to know whether its possible to do the same at a global level.

Hi!
Installing a R/3 Unicode System and activating your ABAP Program for Unicode Check are two different things.
First if you want a complete R/3 system with Unicode Active, then you should have a Unicode Kernel & Unicode Database and the decision whether you want it to be unicode is decided during R/3 Installation.
Secondly, Irrespective of whether you have a Unicode or Non-Unicode System, your ABAP programs can be activated for Unicode Check.The only condition is that if you have a Non-Unicode R/3 system you can Check or Uncheck the box for Unicode in the ABAP Program Attributes.Whereas if you have a Unicode System then in the ABAP program attributes it needs to be turned on for all ABAP Programs for the system to check for unicode syntaxes.
I understand your initial question was to Activate "n" ABAP Programs for Unicode all at one place instead of doing each one at the Program attributes.
I believe this is how unicode works!
Pl look at the topic
"Unicode-Enabling of ABAP Programs"
in
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/abap.sdn
for detailed understanding, if you have not seen it yet.

Include programs are not having Unicode checks active check box ?

Hi all,
Why the Include programs are not having Unicode checks active check box ?

Hi KR,
First of all, Because of include programs not executable by any where, its mandatory to attach all the includes to one main program which is to be usefull for business or enduser purpose. Here only unicode concept will occurs whether the server is being used in only one country or many. if its used in only one country no need to go for unicode active checks, iff the server is used in more than one country, its mandatory to go for unicode checks active.

Unicode Check Active

Hi All,
I want to know about "Unicode Check Active" in ABAP Editor Program Attributes.I don't know anything about this.I want to know
What is Unicode Check Active.
How to Activate this Check Box.
what is meant by Code Pages.
What is UTF-8 UTF-16 & UTF-32.
What is the Use of It.
In ABAP Code the Unicode Check Doesn't Support the some syntax like Open Data set and Describe Lines like that what are all the syntax in ABAP it doesn't support.
Can anybody give me the clear idea about this.So, it will be very helpful to me.This is very urgent.Surely i will reward more points.
Thanks,
Swapna.

Hi,
Unicode Check is one of the latest enhancement in SAP which has been done so as to provide SAP product in almost all the language that is spoken in the world.
A program as to be made Unicode check Active in its attribute so that it can be used in Unicode enabled SAP system.
what is unicode?
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.
what is unicode enabled program?
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.
Type of errors in unocode check.
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
UNICODE CHECK ACTIVE:
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.
Reward Points if found helpfull..
Cheers,
Chandra Sekhar.

HD problem - disk utility says "1 HFS volume checked" "Vol needs repair"

This all started with very slow response when applications were opened on iMac purchased 10/07 - went to Disk Utilty and tried to Repair Disk - but not allowed to click on that option(still grey). So, went to Disc 1 of Installer set of disks , inserted in drive and attempted to reinstall Mac OS X that came with Oct '07 (Tiger-right before Leopard became standard) purchase. When I get to the Select A Destination part of the Install MacOS X directions, there are no choices(ie- HD not recognized). Went to disk utility option available with the Installer disk and did a Repair Disk option. Following messages in RED
Invalid Volume Header
Invalid Mode Sgtructure
The volume Mac HD needs to be repaired ( ie- Volume check failed)
then Disk Utility boxpops up andsays Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Finally
1 HFS volume checked VOLUME NEEDS REPAIR in red
Huuuum.
Next step? I am using my wife's PC to send this HELP message and it's painful. Rescue me as the song says! Is it time to box up for Apple store visit, or ......

Houston, welcome to Apple Discussions.
It appears you have some directory damage on your hard drive. Disk Utility cannot fix some of these type problems. DiskWarrior can probably fix your problem. DiskWarrior by Alsoft

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 ?
Regards,
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

Uwe

Unicode check

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.

Himanshu

Cant upgrade from 10.3.2 to 10.6.8 bill of materials needed

error reads bill of materials needed? how do i fix or get .bom file?
Thanks

I should rephrase that, for those Macs that shipped new with 10.7 or later, the only way to get 10.6.8 or earlier running is through virtualization of the server operating system. When I say "new" that means the way my tip 6841 identifies them.
MacBook Pro 9,x and higher
Mac Pro EMC# 2629, and Mac Pro 6,x and later
Mac Mini 5,x and later
iMac 12,1 i3 (EMC 2496 on foot, MC978LL/A), iMac 13,1 and later
MacBook Air 4,x and later
All MacBooks (without Air or Pro designation) can at least use the system specific 10.6 installer disk that shipped with them if they are newer than 10.6's August 28, 2009 release.
Anything older you should at least be able to get a system specific 10.6 installer if not the retail disk.
The retail 10.6 disk that is available now works on pre-March 15, 2010 Macs. To be more specific on those Macs, that means:
iMac 11,1 and older
Mac Mini 3,x and older
MacBook 6,1 and older
MacBook Pro 5,x and older
MacPro 4,x and older
MacBook Air 2,x and older
can all use the current 10.6 retail available from the Apple Store.
Macs that fall between those criteria must use the 10.6 installer that shipped with them to install 10.6.

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 variables

Hi,
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
