Hi,
Is there any way we can find out the obsolete screens and the screen changes from lower version to higher version during an upgrade.
Thank You.

Hi
While doing Upgrade You have to aware of all related program like BDC's , Screens related errors and all dictionary related problems.
Some function modules may become obsolete, and some screens will change
and some new fields will be added in the new versions etc.
Also take care of SPAU and SPDD tcodes.
You should be able to know about Unicode concept in sap.
check this
http://www.thespot4sap.com/upgrade_guide_v2.pdf#search=%22upGRADE%20STEPS%20-%20SAP%22
also chk these 2 notes in service.sap.com
Technical Upgrade is only a version upgrade without any functionality changes.
The objects that are needed to be upgraded are:
Includes
Function Groups / Function Modules
Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs
Print Programs
SAP Scripts, Screens
User Exits

Hi,
'Obsolete' statements are not always unusable, they are recommended to avoid. So your ABAP is not likely to crash unless you are making a really big upgrade
If you have access to a box look at table RODIR where OBSOLETE='X'.
You'll find a list of obsolete function modules. Some of them don't work any more, some of them are just marked obsolete to warn you that they may go away any time without warning.
Steps
1. I compiled a list of Z* programs where we have ever used any function module (I suggest using RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN, gives you program name, line number, etc.)
2. I consolidated this list with the RODIR obsolete function modules
3. I got a list of Z* programs with line numbers where we have used function modules marked obsolete.
4. Our developers attacked this list and replaced the obsolete function modules, even the ones, which still works.
Hope this helps.
