[naimesh_patel]

use CONDENSE on your BDCDATA-FVAL field.

Like

BDCDATA-FVAL = ITAB-AMT.
CONDENSE BDCDATA-FVAL.

the fields which r getting problem, if i change data type into CHAR ,like thisi n internal table

webaz like C

[naimesh_patel]

I am not suggesting to change the datatype of internal table fields.

My suggestion is: when you transfer your data to your BDC table which you are using into call transaction or Session, you need to use Condense to avoid the error.

Hi,

You can go and see data type and length of the field in table. For example.

klimk type knka-klimk , " Credit limit.

klimk(17) type c

in my case data type was CURR

length 15

decimal places 2.

try this. hope it will work out for you.

Thanks

Dave
