How to change the original language of ABAP pgm

Former Member

Hello,

I want to change the master language (original language) of ABAP program.

We use ECC 6.0; unicode system.

In non-unicode system, we can change the master language when try to change the program in the different language from the master language.

Refer to the following procedure.

1. A program is created in EN.

2. Log on SAP in JA and tyr to change the program.

3. SAP asks the developer "Original language is EN. Log-on language is JA. Do you change the original language?"

4. If yes, we can change the master language.

But in unicode system, SAP does not ask the such question.

So I believe we can not change the master language.

Is it right?

Can't we change the master language???

Dear ec,

Thank you for your reply!

As you said, a pop-up screen appears when I select Go to > Attribute in change mode.

The pop-up screen says "Object maintenance in this system only possible in

original language Japanese (JA)".

(In this case, original language is JA and log-on is EN.)

It is only information message!

So I can't change the original language! (>_<)

Any customizing affects our difference?

Anyway I can't change...

Thank you for your rinformation!

>Sai Mohan Das

I don't mean "translate"...

I want to change the original language in attributes.

>ec

In "Attributes", original language can not be changed...

>Prabu Kannappan

I mean the language is kind of ABAP program attributes.

So SU3 is not usuful in this case...

in our systems the original language is German. I logged on into a 6.0 Unicode system in English, started SE38, entered program name and clicked on Change. It did not ask for language change, but when I went to menu Goto / Attributes, it immediately asked for language change (as I wrote in my previous post). Pls. note you have to be in Change mode!

Ok, I see... but I have not much idea... I would debug this, to see which causes this information message... (Could be some Basis related settinf, but I have really no idea.)

Hi Naomi,

OK, I had a look at the source code before the information message is raised and know what is the problem: The actual system is NOT the original system of the program. You have to change the orginal system first. You can do this in transaction SU03.
