Upgrading from 4.6 to ECC 5.0 and Unicode related query

[abdulazeez12]

Hii

My client has SAP 4.6C version and wants to upgrade it to ECC 5.0. As an ABAPer, I am asked to know and understand what is to be done Technically in this upgradation. What advantages/features ECC 5.0 has over 4.6C. I have read somewhere that Unicode programs need to be taken careof. Can anyone send me some detail notes on what Unicode means and unicode programs differ from non-unicode ones. How is unicode programs taken careof during upgradation.

Thanking you all,

Had any one faced problem in sending email with attachment having record length > 255 char. I guess there were lot of dicussion on this with prior versions like 4.6. I am not sure if this is fixed in ECC5.0 or later. Else what is the best approach to handle this.

Somebody can throw some light on this..

Thanks
