Conversion exit

Former Member — Fri, 12 May 2006 20:02:55 GMT

Hi all

i am trying to upload the AP through BDC.

i have a field for amount (bseg-wrbtr).

when i process the session an error comes saying the input value is longer than the screen field and there no value appears in the field

do i need to declare that field in a different manner(since i am referring to the table BSEG field)?

is there any conversion exit available which will solve the problem?

waiting for the reply

regards

sandeep

This happens a lot with quantity fields and BDC. What I usually do is move the value to another field defined differently, then use that field in the BDC.

data: bdc_qty(10) type c.

  bdc_qty = bseg-wrbtr.

  perform bdc_field       using 'BSEG-WRBTR'
                                BDC_QTY.

This always seems to work for me.

Always Use character fields for Numeric in case of BDC.
