byte type
The ABAP data types X and XSTRING
character
Letter, digit, or special character
character-type
The ABAP data types C, N, D, T, and STRING
code
Binary encoding of letters, digits, and special characters
codepage
Set of encoded characters for the environment selected
data cluster
Grouping of several data objects (fields, structure, table)
DDIC
ABAP Data Dictionary
endian
The byte order of a number. Numbers are stored in memory with decreasing place value either from left to right (big-endian format) or from right to left (little-endian format)
front end
Presentation server in the R/3 System
kernel
The Basis functions of the R/3 System (written in C and C++)
NUP
Non-Unicode program: ABAP program for which the Unicode flag has not been set
NUS
Non-Unicode system: R/3 System, in which each character is encoded in binary form such that it occupies one byte
remaining length
Pertaining to a field or other character type structure, the total length minus the offset
surrogate area
Character supplement for characters that cannot be contained in standard Unicode (which can only contain 65,536 characters). In addition to the standard Unicode bit pattern, the system reads two further bytes from this area.
Unicode Fragment View
View that splits structures into similar data areas
UP
Unicode program: ABAP program for which the Unicode flag has been set
US
Unicode system: R/3-System, in which each character is encoded in binary form, such that it occupies either two or four bytes
UTF-8
Data format for communication and data exchange
XML
Extensible Markup Language: language used to display documents on the Internet
