BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES and negative numeric values.

Former Member — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 09:26:45 GMT

Haw to get negative numeric values using BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES? This BAPI returns in table ALLOCVALUESNUM positive values only.

When i set positive numeric value (for example 21) to characteristic, then BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES returns 21 (images 1-2), and when i set negative value (for example -35), then BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES returns 0 (images 3-4). Why?

Could it be that the associated datatype does not allow negative values or +/- sign ?

Datatype allow negative values and +/- sign too. And value in AUSP table is correct (see screenshot, 1 row).

OK, did you check the RETURN table for any messages ? Is the class in the table ALLOCLIST ?

Looking in the sourcecode I could imagine something goes wrong in the perform convert_tables_cacl_to_bapi /CTCV_SYNTAX_CHECK.

If I look at the code then when the call to this FM fails for some reason the values will be empty. Maybe you can check in debug.

This is RETURN table content

This is ALLOCLIST content. My class name is PM_TR+UC_RD (6 row)

Looking in the sourcecode I could imagine something goes wrong in the perform convert_tables_cacl_to_bapi /CTCV_SYNTAX_CHECK. If I look at the code then when the call to this FM fails for some reason the values will be empty. Maybe you can check in debug for your situation what happens at that moment.

I am trying to think here together with you, in no means I am trying to claim that I know what is wrong. Your code looks good, the table has the value stored as negative and you are calling a standard SAP BAPI. Weird indeed.

Sorry I cant be of any more help but I am out of ideas. 😞

Thank You for help.

You are right, the problem is in convert_tables_cacl_to_bapi /CTCV_SYNTAX_CHECK - sy-subrc = 6 (i.e. pattern_check exception).

numeric value is 35,000- (negative sign after number), and pattern is -__,___ (negative sign before number). But i can't change pattern in characteristic options. Even if i set negative sign after number, then, after saving characteristic options, it is again before!

Any ideas?

I see that the mask comes from CABN-ATSCH. Does that mean that this has been set when the characteristic was created ?

Maybe you can change this mask for this characteristic with CT04 ?

In the system I am working on now there are no characteristics so I cannot test anything out.

If you go to transaction code SM30 fill in table name TCPA and click customizing. Now you are in customizing where this mask is defined. Hope this helps you finding a solution.

Yes, template has been set when the characteristic was created.

But i can't change template in characteristic options. Even if i set negative sign after number (__,___-), then, after saving characteristic options, it is again before (-__,___)!

In SM30 i fill the table TCPA with template __,___-, but when i try to use it, message appears...

Hello, have a similar problem .. has this issue been solved already?

Re: BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES and negative numeric values.

Former Member — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 11:46:21 GMT

No, but I use Batch Inpup for negative values. It works fine.

I will start a OSS message for this

Hello Alexander,

Good Day,

This is a mere guess.. Check, whether the characteristics has any dependency in the back end.

Tcode : CU03/CU33

If there is a dependency, check the function module attached to the dependency.

There could be some code which may change the negative value to 0.

Thank you,

Regards,

Kavitha.

CTCV_SYNTAX_CHECK or PATTERN_CHECK brings back subrc = 6 .. for pattern_error..

Either this is a real poorly documented feedback message or simply a fault in standard coding.

It did not happen before implementation of a service pack.. so it should make me wonder service packs to create any kind of displayable dependencies... that return 0 values

I will evaluate changes using version history...
