Problems testing/using UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE

Former Member — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:32:09 GMT

I am trying to use UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE to convert units. The units I have tested all belong to the VOLUME Dimension. I have tried the following:

Input = 100.00

No_type_check = 'X'

round_Sign = ' '

unit_in = '4G'

unit_out = 'CCM'

When I execute that it gives me an error saying: "Specify at least 1 unit".

I then debugged and found that it is, for some reason, clearing the unit_in and unit_out parameters as soon as you execute. If I debug and reenter the units it says that my input (100.00) is of type C.

I have no idea why either of these things are happening. I am using the FM test tool.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Davis

J@y, I misspoke. Here is the updated issue. I realized that the first issue was because I wasn't using the technical names. it is, however, still thinking that any value is of type C.

I am trying to use UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE to convert units. The units I have tested all belong to the VOLUME Dimension. I have tried the following:

Input = 100.00

No_type_check = 'X'

round_Sign = ' '

unit_in = 'M3'

unit_out = 'CM3'

If I debug and reenter the units it says that my input (100.00) is of type C.

I have no idea why this is happening. I am using the FM test tool.

Any ideas?

Hi Davis

when I check in ECC6.0 unit CM3 is not created in EN is the error I am getting in table T006. Check may be thats the reason you are unable to convert the value

CM3 is the technical name (CCM is in T006). You can see CM3 by using table T006a or T006b.

The easiest way to avoid this is to not use the test tool for import fields that are numeric.

You need to write a quick sample program and pass a numeric (type i, f, p) value to the parameter.

Bryan,

Thanks, I just did that and tested it. I have never seen an instance where the test tool couldn't be used so I wasn't sure if it was the tool or not.

Thanks,

Davis
