ABAP Language Versions in Release 7.61

Expanded Version ID

Before Release 7.61 there were only two language versions of ABAP: and the obsolete . The language versions were distinguished using an ID defined internally for each program in the column UCCHECK of the system table TRDIR. This ID was initial for and "X" for .

From Release 7.61, the meaning of the column UCCHECK in the database table TRDIR has been expanded to cover a general version ID. This new ID can have values for further ABAP language versions other than the initial value and the value "X". From Release 7.61, the value "2" can also be specified for ABAP for Key Users.

These changes must be respected in all places where the column UCCHECK in the database table TRDIR is accessed implicitly or explicitly. This column is evaluated by the ABAP statements INSERT REPORT and SYNTAX-CHECK. For this reason, the addition UNICODE ENABLING of the statement INSERT REPORT has been replaced by the universal addition VERSION and is now obsolete.

Restricted ABAP for Key Users

In Release 7.61, a new ABAP language version for ABAP for Key Users was introduced. This version is designed for enhancements in delivered enhancement points. The internal version ID in column UCCHECK of system table TRDIR is "2".
