Do customers need to convert to a Unicode-compliant environment?

Customers who want to upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 and are running SAP R/3 software with MDMP technology or blended code pages must combine their upgrade with a Unicode conversion. The previous SAP technologies have become obsolete for a variety of reasons – for example, they do not enable proper communication with Java-based applications. (See SAP Note 79991.) A Unicode conversion is only necessary for those using MDMP or blended code pages. However, some organizations may want to perform a Unicode conversion to provide future support for languages with different code pages – for example, for users in Asian or eastern European countries. Read the blog about the Unicode conversion strategy to find out more. You will get general information about Unicode and SAP ERP 6.0 at http://www.service.sap.com/globalization (SMP login required).
