Lists in Release 6.40

1. Lists and Unicode

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Modification 1

Lists and Unicode

Unicode systems

The following changes were made in ABAP to comply with the behavior of lists in Unicode systems:

• If list output in a Unicode system is reduced, this is indicated by an indicator ">" or "<". The complete contents can then be displayed by choosing System → List → Unicode Display.
• So that unnecessary reductions are not made in the Unicode systems, the new specifications * and ** were introduced for the output length in the WRITE statement.
• In Unicode systems, predefined output formats or predefined output lengths that are different to non-Unicode systems are valid.
  

Note

These changes were also downported to Release 6.20.
