As we posted here several times: SAP Labs is not allowed to answer questions concerning SAP R/3 even in connection with SAP DB. You have a contract for R/3 in which some kind of guarantee is given, support is provided and so on. Please open an OSS-note. The support working with this is familiar with compatibility of all the versions and its combinations possible and supported by SAP.
