Unicode programs testing

Hi ,
I have question about unicode UCCHECK programs testing.
Do we need to do testing after UCCHECK errors are fixed and Unicode flag is set in SE38 to check the functionality and runtime errors in Non-Unicode system?
Or
Just do the testing in Unicode system after conversion?
For what volume of programs , we should use transaction SCOV for test coverage?
Thanks!

Hello Yogita
If you removed all Unicode errors and set the flag this just means your program objects run on a Unicode system - either right or wrong
Therefore, you must test on a Unicode system. See also: Unicode Compliant: Sample test plan
I would recommend to use transaction SCOV even with a small number of program objects. This way you can make your experiences with the coverage analyzer and you are prepared for "big" development tasks.

Converting control characters to spaces in a Unicode program?

I want to take an ASCII character string and convert any
ASCII Control Characters to Spaces.
In a non-Unicode program, I define the following hex constant:
CONSTANTS: c_control_to_space(64) TYPE x VALUE
'00200120022003200420052006200720082009200A200B200C200D200E200F20' &
'10201120122013201420012016201720182019201A201B201C201D201E201F20'.
I then execute the following TRANSLATE statement:
      TRANSLATE w_transcript USING c_control_to_space.
What would be the "approved" method of accomplishing the same effect
in a Unicode program?

Neil,
First, thank you for pointing out my typo. You are correct that the "0120" in the second line of the literal was intended to be "1520".
Second, thank you for your suggestion. Based on your idea, I tried something similar, but not exactly what you suggested. In particular, since I can't figure out how to construct the constant that I want, I used your idea to construct it as a variable, as follows:
DATA number TYPE i.
DATA offset TYPE i.
DATA hex(4) TYPE x.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <char> TYPE c.
ASSIGN hex TO <char> CASTING TYPE c.
DATA w_control_to_space(64) TYPE c.
DO 32 TIMES.
    hex = sy-index - 1.
    offset = 2 * ( sy-index - 1 ).
    number = STRLEN( <char> ).
    IF number GT 1.
      SUBTRACT 1 FROM number.
      SHIFT <char> LEFT BY number PLACES.
    ENDIF.
    w_control_to_space+offset(1) = <char>.
ENDDO.
After having constructed "w_control_to_space", I can now use the TRANSLATE statement:
TRANSLATE w_transcript USING w_control_to_space.
This code passes the Unicode syntax checks and works correctly on a non-Unicode system. I don't have access to a Unicode system on which to run it. I'd appreciate any feedback on this approach - especially if someone can actually test it on a Unicode system.

Hi - I've a problem using hyphen in unicode programs

Subject changed by moderator - use a meaningful subject in future
Hi,
Please solution for this error.
In Unicode programs, the "-" character cannot appear in names, as it does here in the name
"TEST-001"
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
Unicode programs doesn't allow "-" character for field names. In unicode "-" is used to show the variation for table(internal table) and field names. So it doesn't allow "-" character for field names.
So try to change the fieldname by putting "_" instead of "-".

Wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?

Hi guru,
wht is the difference between unicode program and non unicode program ?

About brief idea about unicode
In the past, SAP developers used various codes to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
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. Common code pages are, for example, ISO88591 for West European or ISO88595 for Cyrillic fonts.
EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters. EBCDIC 0697/0500 is an old IBM format that is used on AS/400 machines for West European fonts, for example.
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. Double-byte code pages are, for example, SJIS for Japanese and BIG5 for traditional Chinese.
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.
One solution to this problem is to use a code comprising all characters used on earth. This code is called Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) and consists of at least 16 bit = 2 bytes, alternatively of 32 bit = 4 bytes per character. Although the conversion effort for the R/3 kernel and applications is considerable, the migration to Unicode provides great benefits in the long run:
The Internet and consequently also mySAP.com are entirely based on Unicode, which thus is a basic requirement for international competitiveness.
Unicode allows all R/3 users to install a central R/3 System that covers all business processes worldwide.
Companies using different distributed systems frequently want to aggregate their worldwide corporate data. Without Unicode, they would be able to do this only to a limited degree.
With Unicode, you can use multiple languages simultaneously at a single frontend computer.
Unicode is required for cross-application data exchange without loss of data due to incompatible character sets. One way to present documents in the World Wide Web (www) is XML, for example.
ABAP programs must be modified wherever an explicit or implicit assumption is made with regard to the internal length of a character. As a result, a new level of abstraction is reached which makes it possible to run one and the same program both in conventional and in Unicode systems. In addition, if new characters are added to the Unicode character set, SAP can decide whether to represent these characters internally using 2 or 4 bytes.
A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or an NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.

Dump error while executing this unicode program.....

Hi,
     I got a program for 'Production Order Quantity Change Daily Checklist' ,but while executing i got the dump error from the following program stating tat,
The current statement is only defined for character-type data objects.
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "ZPROD" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
For the statement
   "READ DATASET ... INTO f"
only character-type data objects are supported at the argument position
"f".
In this case. the operand "f" has the non-character-type "u". The
current program is a Unicode program. In the Unicode context, the type
'X' or structures containing not only character-type components are
regarded as non-character-type.

Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible?what does this mean?

hello,everyone,
when I execute a smartform directly in the transaction smartforms.,the result can be seen just no data.
when I execute program to transfer two internal tables from interface with data to the smartforms,and I use tcode st22,
the error is : Data objects in a Unicode program are not convertible.
the error analysis; The statement
"MOVE src TO dst"
requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
the source code that error occurs is :LOOP AT I_SHIP_DETAIL INTO WA_DETAIL .
and I know that the internal table have errors ,I defined the internal table refer to a structure created myself,and I set break-point in the smartforms ,can see the data in the internal table ,so why occurs such errors ,pls help me if you know .thank you in advance.

ABAP program issues..Unicode program "ITAB" must have the same structure?

Dear Expert,
I coded below code in se38, but system give below error message, could please kindly advie issue reason? Thanks!!
Error message: A line of "ITAB" and "LINE" are not mutually convertible. In a Unicode program "ITAB" must have the same structure layout as "LINE" independent of the length of a . Unicode character. Unicode character.
REPORT ZTEST_HIHIHI.
Data: begin of line,
num type i,
sqr type i,
end of line,
itab type standard table of line with key table_line.
Do 5 times.
line-num = sy-index.
line-sqr = sy-index ** 2.
append line to itab.
enddo.
loop at itab into line.
write: / line-num, line-sqr.
endloop.
clear itab.

Hello Hoo Laa,
This is because the way you have defined LINE, it is a structure & not a data type. Hence you are facing the issue
You have to change the data declaration to:
itab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF line WITH KEY table_line.

In Unicode Programs , the "-" CHARACTER CANNOT APPEAR IN NAME

HI,
I am checking the routines for the transfer rules(0SRM_GLSPEND_INVOICE) in the ODS Object (0GLS_INV).
WARNING :In Unicode programs, the "-" character cannot appear in names, as it does here in the name
" L-LOCAL_ID"
this is only before unicode conversion .

Non-unicode program support?

Hi, I'm new to mac. In Windows' international setting, I can select a language to use for non-unicode programs, so that non-unicode characters in the selected language (such as song tags) can be displayed properly. But in Leopard, I cannot find the equivalent setting. Some songs with non-unicode tags are not displayed properly in iTunes, although they are fine in iTunes on my Windows computers. Also, I have some non-unicode contact information in Palm Desktop synchronized from my Treo phone. It looks OK in Palm Desktop on Windows, but not on Leopard.
Does such setting exist in mac os x?
Thank you.

Does such setting exist in mac os x?
No, OS X only uses Unicode, so you have to convert the legacy character set stuff to that.
Of course some apps, like TextEdit and Safari and Mail, can read things in legacy charsets, but they convert it to Unicode when they do. TextEdit can also save things in legacy charsets.

Problems realted to changing the language for non-Unicode programs from one into anther.

Hi,
Hi everyone!
Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
Product Number : LM610EA#A2N.
My Windows 7(464Bit) Ultimate, and its base language, and display language is English.
The Languages(English, French and Arabic) built-in (came re-downloaded and re-installed by the person who made the Windows disc installation). Thus, while installing Windows 7, those three lanauge listed for me to choose one of them to be the base language
and display language, I have chosen 'English'. In the End of installation, there are three pre-packaged languages(English and French and Arabic) can be used as a display language.
I would like anyone kindly to confirm for me why I have been facing these problems when changing language for non-Unicode programs from English into Arabic.
First: After I have installed the AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (sp55092) 8.882.2.3000 on my laptop. The contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic while language for non-Unicode programs
is Arabic, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
A: I found that contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic (second screen shot below, however,
when click on any options, for example 'Graphics properties' shown in Arabic in, the second window is shown in English) while language for non-Unicode programs is
Arabic, and it doesn't matter what format or location is.
B- when I changed language for non-Unicode programs into
English.
I found that contents of the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are completely shown in English .
Second:
A- Only All Arabic contents will be displayed encryptely while language for non-Unicode programs is English
B- All the Arabic contents are displayed properly while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic.
Third: an error extracting drivers and software downloaded from official HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
A- I noticed an error extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English and whatever location and format are:
B- However while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, there is no error extracting files.
In conclusion, Is it normal
for all of you the contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in your native while language used
for non-Unicode programs is your native lanague, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English?. IF so I would be saying that if I have wanted the contents of documents written in my language
Arabic to be shown properly, then then I
must let the language for non-Unicode programs be Arabic.
Is this happens with you as well?
Also, if I need extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website, then language for non-Unicode programs
must be in my Arabic lanague English and whatever location and format are.
Is this happened with you as well?
I would highly appreciate any clarification from you.
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Hi,
I am confused about your issue.
when you changed language for non-Unicode programs into English, it show English.
while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, it show Arabic, If it's none-Unicode.
This is correct. Why you think it's an issue?
About your second scenario description, I was not clear what you said. Could you give us a explanation?
Note: System display language is not the un-Unicode program language.
You can just choose one language to display the system at same time.

Hi cooperator,
I saw your post regarding the language questions and I will be happy to help. What are you are experiencing with the languages is normal. The base operating system is in English and while you can change the display language the core kernal of the operating system would be in English.
The reason that the Intel Graphic and Media Control Panel is in English and the rest in Arabic is because the driver would have been designed in English and is hard coded as into the driver but the display language is set to Arabic. So when the language is set to English everything will be in English.
The reason you having issues extracting drivers when you English set at the language is because the HP website will determine where in the world you and when you download the driver it will be the appropriate language for the country you are from. So when it extracts it will look for the proper extraction path using Arabic but everything is English. It work no problem when you are on Arabic because the driver can read the path properly.

Are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program

Hi guys,
I'm getting error: "LS_EDIDD-SDATA and LS_STRUCTURE are not mutually convertible in Unicode Program"
I have PRKST which is Amount field in LS_STRUCTURE, which causes this problem.
But if I change type of PRKST to CHAR15, then it doesn't give error.
But i want to use this field with type PRKST( CURR 11, decimal places 2).
Please help. Its urgent.
Thanks,
Mehul Lad

Hi,
LCHR field is not a standalone field. It is always preceded by a field of type INT2 which has the length of the data stored in LCHR field.
So, in structure LS_EDIDD there should be a INT2 type field just before the field SDATA which tells the length of the actual value in SDATA. Suppose the field name is LEN.
So,
assign the value like this :
LS_STRUCTURE = LS_EDIDD-SDATA(LS_EDIDD-LEN).
