SAP Note 302063 - Correspondence Language

Component : Internationalization (I18N) -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/302063 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP Note addresses the implementation of Correspondence Languages ('Z2' to 'Z9' and 'Z1') primarily used in ABAP environments, unsuitable for Java or Web platforms. It emphasizes the transition to Unicode systems where almost all ISO 639 language codes are supported. Non-Unicode systems should convert to Unicode before adding new languages, as migration tools do not exist for transitioning from Z-languages to standard ISO codes. The note guides using reports 'RSCPCOLA' and 'RSCPINST' for managing these languages, highlighting that these are not fully supported and are intended specifically for SAPscript texts, forms, and styles without supporting other functionalities like logon languages.
