[Former Member]

HI Experts,

    If i copy code from ecc 6.0 to ecc 4.7 any problems will arise. like function modules not exist. Please let me know the basic problems which i can face if i do this copy from 6.0 to 4.7.

Thanks.

why don't you just test it? Copy it over and do a syntax check.

If there was no difference then SAP would not need to provide different releases.

Of course there are function modules in current system which were not written when 4.7 was launched at the market. When we implemented ECC6 we upgraded as well to Unicode which forced us to change coding in old programs.

There are ABAP commands which have not been there at 4.7 times.

You can't get a clean bill of health for such generic question, you can just test it, and if there is trouble then you need to fix it to make it run.

If you have read some OSS notes for new developed functionality then you could know how rarely SAP offers the option to implement such function in a lower releases.

Thanks Jurjen,

          But i dnt have access to that server, but i can move the code which i developed in ecc 6.0 to another server with 4.6. In such situations do i get any syntax check problem. i need to know some of the commands which differs like the way of internal table declarations,insert/modify/delete/update commands.
