Hi Imran

Accept greeting from one of your old colleagues:). Well as far as this problem is concerned, ask your ABAPer to extend the Table PA0002 with Custom Include

CI_P0002. When you double click it, it will ask you to create a new one and there you can add the fields ( Arabic name, etc ).

What do u mean by ARABIC dates? Is it Islamic Calender? If you just want to format it as Arabic format and not islamic calender, then also add fields in the custom include mentioned above. and check the default settings in the SAP system for the dates as well. You can go to SU3 and examine the defaults of dates as well using the drop down.

Hope it will help you.

Reward points if helpful

Arabic Dates means the Islamic Calander. its client requirment that with the english calender dates their should also be the islamic calender.

Basically they want to keep records of Issue and Expiry Dates of Passports, Iqama, medical, insurance etc in english and Islamic Calenders.

Hi,

Try to use infotype 182 for saving the Arabic names.

Check if your system is Unicode.

You can enhance the infotype 0002 with required fields like

First Name Arabic

Middle Name Arabic

Last Name Arabic

Birth year Hijra

Birth Month Hijra

Birh Date Hijra

Arabic values can be maintained directly in the Infotype fields.
