Not by default.

During a Unicode migration the system is scanned completely and you will need to classify the characters as such.

Two questions:

a) are you on a Unicode system?

b) What do you want to do with that number? What does it tell you?

This is not easy to answer.

If you did already your preprocessing (SPUMG/SPUM4) you will see a statistics about the number of words classified in the system.

Can you provide me with brief steps that we follow for the database adjustment during the unicode system migration?

Waiting for the answer..

What do you mean with "database adjustments"?

A Unicode conversion is a complete export and re-import of the database basically consisting of those steps:

- preparation (transaction SPUMG or SPUM4 if on 4.6c)

including manual vocabulary maintenance

- export of the source database

- installation of a NEW database

- re-import of the export

There are many many single steps to follow, don´t underestimate the time you will need for that.

Check the conversions guides for the steps to follow:
