Hi Kelly,

try debugging the program that creates your BDC and see if the value of the field you want is been appended to the table field.

Let me know if this does not solve your problem.

Try defining your price field as a type 'char'. I run lots of BDCs and have never gotten the type 'curr' to work.

Currency fields are usually packed fields, so you need to move it to a character field. Also, BDCs only accept data in CHAR format.

Hi All,

Yes I tried that one tooo.. Moving price field to char field. But what happened is this character field is populated with the characeter '*' only. And when the session is executed error appears for the price field "Input should be in the form __.___.___,__".

What should i do now?

How big is your char field, is it big enough to accept the entire number.

Hi All,

Thanks to everybody... You all were right. I accidentally defined the char field of length 5 instead of 15... thanks for pointing that out...

Thanks you very much to all

Kelly.
