Diagnosis

You are working in a system that is set up as a Unicode system, where the SAP front end uses the Unicode character set.

The graphical Screen Painter cannot support this Unicode character set.

System Response

The functions provided by the graphical Screen Painter cannot be used. The system automatically switches to the alphanumeric layout.

Procedure

You can only use the graphical Screen Painter in a Unicode system if you set your SAP front end so that it does not automatically use the Unicode character set (UTF-8).

For this purose, you must log on to the system with a special SAPLogon entry. In this entry, the property "Unicode OFF" must be set under "Other Settings" in the "Language Settings" box.

This setting is available as of SAPLogon 6.20, Patch 33.

For more details, refer to notes 316903 and 508854.
