3463806 - Option to replace code page 1100 with 1160 in SPUMG

It is unclear, whether it is required to select the checkbox 

"Would you like to replace code page 1100 with 1160 in the Language List"

in SPUMG transaction while running Unicode conversion preparation.

The Unicode conversion guides attached to the SAP note 1051576 describe this option as follow:

"The checkbox Would you like to replace code page 1100 with 1160 in the Language List can be optionally selected in case the frontend code page 1100 has been used with system code page 1100. "

and 


"If the system code page is 1100 you should check whether the frontend code page (or SAP GUI code page) is also 1100. Run report RSCP0013 in transaction SE38 and check, if 1100 is displayed in field Character set of SAPgui.  If yes, users are able to input characters which are not covered by the system code page. Such characters – for example the Euro sign - will get lost during the database conversion because they are not stored on the database. You can prevent this at least for characters in transparent tables by switching to 1160 in the SPUMG Language List.

Select checkbox would you like to replace code page 1100 with 1160 in the Language List? Note that there is no automatic replacement option for other code pages than 1100."
