just declare all your fields as type c with length specified..

ex:

data : quan(10) type c.

Move the value of the quantity field into a char string and then pass it to the BDC.

hi,

Check the quantity field length and declare the Char field with same length and use the write statement to move the qunatity value to char.

Write l_quantity to l_char.

condense l_char.

now move the l_char to BDC.

you can decide the length of character filed by taking the output length of the domain assocaited with that quantity field.

Hi,

one way of solving your problem is,

1. Go to the transaction required
2. Find the qunatity field on screen then press F1 on the particular field
3. In technical information you can see the field name, double click on it.
4. Find the length of the field then declare your field in program of the same length
    or declare it 'like <tablename-fieldname>' obtained from transaction
