Unicode Enabling

Greetings,
We are going through an upgrade from 46C to ERP 5.0. Will we be able to unicode enable individule ABAP programs without setting the system to unicode enabled?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Jason

If your PRD system has been around for a long time, then YES.  You should expect a large amount of work.
We have 3 R/3 PRD instances for 3 parts of the world.
We have applied Unicode to the 2 newer ones.  It was a few days of hard work.  But the systems are younger... and not a great deal of custom work.
Our original PRD system is 12.5 years old.  We are not planning to go Unicode there.  It would be an enormous project with little/no return to those businesses.

    Hi Ram,
    For Unicode, transaction UCCHECK is your best friend. It will even tell you how to fix the error.
    All programs – Most of the time you will just go and set the Unicode Checks Active program attribute, save, activate.
    - If there are Unicode errors, fix them.

    SAPScript - Not sure if it even needs Unicode-enabling. We are still in the middle of an upgrade. Will add more later.
    Custom DDIC – In our case, the BASIS team handled the Unicode conversion of the DDIC objects.I think they ran a consistency check first, then run SPUMG or something.
    Search the web for a Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion Guide.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem With Insert statement using field symbols with unicode enabled

    I was writng a function module for dyanamic operations on the table. We are using the field symbols, function module is unicode enabled.
    Assign statements are working fine, with which we created work are <fs_wa_header> and internal table <fs_tb_item> dynamically based on the table name (IM_TB_HENAME) which we get as import parameter.
    we have query which is giving us dump.
    INSERT  (IM_TB_HENAME)  FROM <FS_WA_HEADER>.

    Hi
    INSERT (IM_TB_HENAME) FROM <FS_WA_HEADER> is good for inserting a line in the database, so IM_TB_HENAME has to have the name of dictionary table.
    U should write:
    INSERT  <FS_WA_HEADER> INTO (IM_TB_HENAME).
    But I believe you can't use the variable IM_TB_HENAME, you should use another field-symbols:
    ASSIGN (IM_TB_HNAME) TO <FS_TB_ITEM>.
    INSERT  <FS_WA_HEADER> INTO <FS_TB_ITEM>.

    Hi Donghai,
    Have you tried using the command
    CHAIN ENDCHAIN.
    Try displaying the message for te field you wish to within CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which will allow you to enter the data in the field even after the error message is displayed.
    Caution: Mention all the field names in CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which you want to be open for enterin the values into it.

  • Code should be enhanced until it is unicode enabled?

    Hi,
    I did a test of the unicode compatibility of the user-exits. And I get the following error:
    Part of function group SAPLXKAEP see LXKAEPTAP need to be enhanced.
    There is 1 marked program or include file, which are used together with original SAP code which is already unicode-enabled. Because of that, your code should be enhanced, until it is unicode-enabled too.
    What does this mean? What should I do?

    I had done one Upgrade project where Organization decided to keep their SAP system Non-unicode. But from ECC5 onward, by default SAP std function groups are "Unicode enable checkbox" checked.
    Since function group is unicode enabled, all includes should be unicode compatible.
    I think this msg is mentioning that. have you checked the include for unicode compatibility ?

  • 4.6C unicode enabled?

    Hi All.
    We are upgrading to ECC 6.0. But the upgrade is simultaneous. We'd be building a new server, and some developments will still go on concurrently in 4.6C.
    Is there any way we can ensure that new developments in 4.6C will be unicode enabled and would not give any errors in UCCHECK? I know 4.6C is not unicode enabled. But can we do some setting so that programs, if do not follow unicode standards, give warnings atleast?
    Hope my query is clear.
    Thanks in adv.

    Hi,
    I just did a search for the example program and i found a SDN link:
    Unicode check in 4.6C
    In this thread it's mentioned that depending on your support pack lever report RSUNISCAN should
    be available in the 4.6c system.
    I only have a 4.7x system available at the moment so i can't check it for you. But maybe you can take a look to this report.

  • Whai is Unicode enabled

    Hi to All ? May i know what is unicode enabled system . i heard that we can check wether tha SAP system is unicode enabled or not by using tcode  UCHECK  .May o know what is UNICODE enable d system ?  thaks in Advance.
    Regards

    Unicode enabled system allows text data from different languages to be stored in one repository.
    Version 4.7 and above are all Unicode enabled by default.
    If your system is Unicode enabled and your program is also unicode enabled, it allows u to read the text from different languages(without any junk characters)
    In non-unicode system,If your logon language is german and if ur attempting to view a Japenese data, it will not give u the correct data which is corrected in case of Unicode systems.
    To check if ur program is Unicode enabled or not, follow Goto->Attributes.
    You will have a check mark in Unicode checks active checkbox ( In all versions above 4.7 by default it is checked)

  • Using three Unicode-enabled languages in BEx at the same time

    Hi Guys,
    Has anyone been using BEx reports with three or more Unicode-enabled languages at the same time?
    Currently we are using English and Korean (Unicode-enabled) in BW 3.1C. Next month we will be in BW 3.5 and we are planning to add two more Unicode-enabled characters (Chinese and Japanese) into BW.
    Just wondering if this is possible or not?
    Any comments would be appreciated.

    WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_UPLOAD function calls will need to be replaced with GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD or the assocaited methods of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.  Also, some syntax changes to some statements, like OPEN DATASET will need the ENCODING extension.

  • Upgradation of version 4.6 to unicode enable 6.0ECC

    Please, provide me steps to determine is the given object is unicode enable or not.
    stapes to convert them into unicode system (spacially table,domains,data elements) and focus errors after conversion while exicuting the programs.
    please provide me this information ,I am new in this technology.
    thank you!

    Either the full system is a Non-Unicode system or it is a Unicode system, there´s nothing like, "this object is already converted and this not".
    A Unicode conversion is a full export of your source database using R3load (NOT database tools) and a re-import of that export into a Unicode database.

  • Mail Sending- with Unicode enabled text in the attachment

    hi,
    i have a specific requirement for JAPAN country. its as follows:
    i am retrieving delivery details into my program & i need to send them as in a mail attachment(as CSV file) to particular mail id.
    for sending mail, i am using the function module "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".
    here is my problem :
    as this program will be used by JAPAN people, some of the delivery details are stored in Japanese (text like Customer name,street address etc..)
    .so when i am trying to send it as attachment these japanese text is not appearing correctly in the mail attachment. its appearing as Junk characters.
    i observed here the problem is may be because these Texts are not sending with UNICODE format. may be the default format is ASCII, which can not
    interpret Japanese text properly.
    so pl let me know is there any new function module where we can mention the Encoding format like UNICODE ?? or can i use the
    same above mentioned function module with providing this UNICODE value somewhere....
