Hi Vijayalaxmi,

When you pass the value to the field in BDC, convert it into char field and then pass it.

Example:

DATA c_pkond type c length 15.

c_pkond = 8.5000000.

In bdc assignment, you use c_pkond.

This will work

Remember that BDC (contrary to BAPI) use external format of data, so for numeric values, quantities, amount, use a WRITE statement to a character field of correct length.(output length of domain to be precise) also use any required currency code or unit of measure in the WRITE TO statement.

A default move statement to bdcdata-fval may result in a right adjusted value like 0000000000000000000008.5000000 (Check actual value generated in your program using debug in form bdc_field.
