data conversion functions ??

[Former Member]

Hi,

whats the function to convert a numeric data to char ??

I have a field value which is numeric and when I use it in my BDC program I get a runtime error

CONVT_NO_NUMBER

Unable to interpret "/" as a number.

On debugging, I could see in the code that NODATA is represented as "/" and when it is being compared with my numeric field data, this mismatch is reported. So I think it would be right for me to pass on the value after conversion. the statement currently looks like

perform bdc_field using 'RF022-GJAHR'

bkpf_rec-gjahr.

where gjahr contains data such as 2004, 2005 etc.

Please help..

thanks

Hi,

Pass space instead of '/'.I guess it will work.

Check to make sure that in your file the "/" is not being shifted to the right " /".

Thanks to all for your quick response... Find below my code.. I have recorded BDC for FB12 and pasted that code in my report program, ZFB12 and so the entire code is as follows...

i am getting error for the last but one line , i.e.,

perform bdc_field using 'RF022-GJAHR'

bkpf_rec-gjahr.

i dont find any means to pass SPACE !! how do i do that ??

hi

please paste the code where you are passing No data = '/'.

Try:

SELECT bukrs blart cpudt budat belnr gjahr
  into <b>corresponding fields of table</b> bkpf_rec from bkpf
  where bukrs IN so_bukrs 
  and   blart in so_blart
  and   cpudt in so_cpudt
  and   budat in so_budat 
  and belnr in so_belnr 
  and gjahr in so_gjahr.

I take it back. I didn't see how BKPF_REC was declared.

RF022-GJAHR is of type numc!

You cannot pass non-character types to form bdc_field.

If you are not using a standard include, perform a separate BDC_FIELD routine for non-character fields...take a look at the form below......

Try:

<b>perform bdc_field_nonchar using 'RF022-GJAHR' bkpf_rec-gjahr.</b>

FORM bdc_field_nonchar USING fnam fval.
  IF fval is not initial.
    CLEAR bdcdata.
    bdcdata-fnam = fnam.
    bdcdata-fval = fval.
    APPEND bdcdata.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "BDC_FIELD_NONCHAR

Otherwise, you can declare a place holder of type character and use it to build your bdcdata.

DATA: GJAHR(4) TYPE C.

MOVE bkpf_rec-gjahr TO gjahr.

PERFORM bdc_field USING 'RF022-GJAHR' gjahr.

As I explained, you are getting this error from the standard SAP include that you used. What you can do is to check for initial values in your code, before calling the routine as follows.

if not bkpf_rec-gjahr is initial.
  perform bdc_field using 'RF022-GJAHR' bkpf_rec-gjahr.
else.
  perform bdc_field using 'RF022-GJAHR' '/'.
endif.

You have to do this for the date fields as well.

Is this your own recording or SAP standard program?

Typically, your input structures should be character fields and then you can compare the fields for nodata character. If a field has nodata character, then that field of the screen will be skipped. That is the logic.

Can you paste the lines of code where this is happening? also, if it is a routine, then paste the corresponding call(PERFORM) to this routine.

Hi

Is this Standard LSMW kind of Program i mean Direct Input method , in that No DATA will be treated as "/"

but in normal cases we need to populate with space.

But Can i know in which case you are using this.

Hi Rad,

The NODATA is in the include bdcrecx1 on the selection screen.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I think see your question you need to pass the date field in character

BKPF_REC-GJAHR

So first declare

Data : v_gjahr(10) type c.

Write BKPF_REC-GJAHR to v_gjahr.

perform bdc_field using 'RF022-GJAHR'

v_gjahr.

Also remove the code perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'

'19/07'. That is not required.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Sam,

Rajeev already presented that solution. Let us leave that credit to him instead of modifying our response.

Srinivas, I didn't see his reply when I started to edit my message!

[Former Member]

Sam, please don't take it seriously. I know it does happen sometimes that we hit the same idea but someone will be there first and other one will be a duplicate. Instead of modifying, may be we should just type in a new reply. I apologize if I unintentionally overstepped here.

You are right...typing in a new reply is a better idea!
