ASCII & EBCDIC R/3 System on the same machine

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have V5R1 and R/3 4.6C with 4.6D_EXT EBCDIC kernel installed. Is it possible install on the same machine another R/3 4.6C system with 4.6D ASCII kernel? I suppose the answer is "yes" (Codepage Conversion guide describe situation where older EBCDIC system coexistent with new converted ASCII system). But I must know official answer from SAP specialist (may be from Volker? - YES or NO?

Thank you,

Andrew Minenkov.
