Read the javadoc for java.math.BigDecimal.

The Web Dynpro table tutorial shows how to use BigDecimal in a Web Dynpro application.

I had a timestamp (DEC 21,7) field which is mapped as a BigDecimal and used the following

To represent 28th Dec 2005, 10:11:12 am:

BigDecimal x = new BigDecimal("20051228101112");

To add

 new BigDecimal("..").add( new BigDecimal(" .." );

Can you clarify on what do you mean on using it with context attributes ?

Use BigDecimal("StringValue") constructor. Here string value should represent a valid number

example

BigDecimal myBigNum = new BigDecimal("123654789654");
