ABAP development in a non-unicode system

[Former Member]

Does anyone have a "list of abap development considerations" when developing ABAP in a 4.6C system to also be sensitive to an upcoming UNICODE conversion project, that is, What do I need to be sensitive to concerning unicode when developing in a non-unicode 4.6C system to make the upgrade to unicode of these programs easier .

You can check the documents available at market place.

service.sap.com/unicode under section

Sap netweaver-> Sap Netweaver in Detail -> Application Platform -> Unicode -> ABAP and Unicode Library.

There is one document which is specifically related to 4.6c (Vorbereitung von ABAP Programmen für Unicode in 4.6C/D) but its in German.

You can go through the other documents and see whichever is applicable for 4.6c

I am sending you the pdf document on the "Requirement of ABAP Programs in Unicode System" to your dupont account. It has good material and some examples. We did Unicode conversion and can help you if you have any more questions.

One of the easiest thing to start checkign the Unicode Indicator on in the program attributes. That will take care of the code being fine once you convert to Unicode.

Also run UCCHECK once you have time to find any issues with the existing programs, and see if corretcing those before hand would make any sense before doing the actual unicode conversion
