Comments and Literals in Non-Unicode Programs
In non-Unicode systems, no characters should be used in comments unless
they are available in all code pages
supported by SAP. In the worst case, a program can no longer be executed
when a code page other than the one in which it was created is used. We
recommend the usage of 7-Bit-ASCII -characters only.
Note
In a Unicode system, all source codes are
stored in Unicode and this is why this problem does not occur there.
However, even in Unicode programs, do not use characters for comments
and literals if they cannot be displayed in non-Unicode programs, so
that programs can be transported from a Unicode system to a non-Unicode
system without losses during conversion.
