Summary :
SAP highlights the limitations of Multi-Display-Multi-Processing (MDMP) systems in supporting multiple language code pages and recommends transitioning to Unicode systems for enhanced language support. Unlike MDMP, Unicode supports all characters globally under a single encoding approach. SAP R/3 Enterprise already incorporates Unicode, discouraging further MDMP usage. Newer SAP solutions like SAP ERP 2004 onwards do not support MDMP installations, steering towards full Unicode compatibility. This shift emphasizes Unicode's role in future global software operations, aligning with SAP's strategic development direction and offering a unified character set for diverse linguistic requirements.
