UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE FM

Former Member — Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:37:36 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I am working on something and need to validate a above mentioned FM.

I don't know what values should I pass to test it in SE37.

Can someone please help?

Regards

Shirley

I did that but did not get any values...I am assuming that If I enter '1' in INPUT and KG in UNIT_IN and LB in UNIT_OUT, I should get 2.20462 when I hit Test..am I wrong somewhere?

Hi Shirley,

There is an interesting reason for this issue - as INPUT parameter is un-typed, SE37 creates and processes it as a character-like value.

Inside the function module there is a call of 'UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE_OLD' FM. It contains the following code:


 DESCRIBE FIELD input   TYPE lv_type       DECIMALS lv_decimals. 
  IF  lv_type <> 'F'                                       
AND lv_type <> 'P'   
  AND lv_type <> 'I'.  
MESSAGE e310 WITH 'INPUT' RAISING input_invalid. 
 ENDIF.

Since a determined type is 'C' (because of SE37!), you are unlikely to get any result from this function module.

So I suggest to create a simple test program which passes a correctly typed input parameter to check the unit conversion.

Cheers,
Kirill
