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 ,

I guess , Fields are converted into character type. All numeric data should be passed to the BDC in character fields that are the same length as the screen fields of the transaction.

HOPE THIS ANSWER HELPS U.....

thanks and regards

Hi Reddy,

Fields get converted into character type.

Declare these fields in the internal table as characters and the length of the field should be same as the field length of the field’s data element. This internal table is used to hold the data fetched from the sequential file using WS-upload function module

All numeric data should be passed to the BDC in character fields that are the same length as the screen fields of the transaction.
