How to check if the system is a Single Code Page System

If you are not sure whether your system is a Single Code Page system or not, open database table
TCPDB in transaction SE16. If this table contains only one entry, it is a Single Code Page system.
If TCPDB contains more than one entry, the system is an MDMP system.
