RUNTIME EXCEPTION-Cannot cast null to boolean'.

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have the below mapping.The if condition is satisfied,even though 'then' value is going to the target field.

When i try to check the queue of the 'IF' function it is throwing error RUNTIME EXCEPTION-Cannot cast null to boolean

>splitbyvalue(eachvalue)----> then

->splitbyvalue(eachvalue)

---

>if---->target field

->mapwithdefault->else

Please help !!!

Hi Suresh,

>splitbyvalue(eachvalue)----> then

->splitbyvalue(eachvalue)

---

>if---->target field

->mapwithdefault->else

What are you trying to do with the above mapping?What is the source field? Provide some more details

>>RUNTIME EXCEPTION-Cannot cast null to boolean

This is a valid error because you are passing "null" and it expected "boolean"

Hi,

Thanks for the input!!

In the below mapping suppose both 'equals' are satisfied then constant value '123' will go to target field otherwise 'else' value will go.

constant(123)----

E1K1456(source segment)-->\

---equals-\

concat>splitbyvalue(eachvalue)>if------>target field

E1K1456(source segment)----

source field ->mapwithdefault->else

Hi,

The if input of if-then-else function will except value only as 1(true) or 0(false). So after your split by value you need to convert the outcome to 1 or 0 as suitable to your logic.

Hope this helps.

hi Suresh,

>>both 'equals' are satisfied

after both equals put AND (under boolean inbuilt function) then put 'if'

Which equals function are you using. Looking at your requirement (where you are comparing two values....arithmatically) I suppose that you are using the equalS function and not the equals (boolean fuction). From the error it is clear that input to IF function is not boolean.

Hi,

I think my mapping is not done properly. Could you guys help me with the correct mapping--

In the source structure under the segment E1POO1 there are 3 fields whose condions are as below--

Source structure

E1P0006

--OTYPE

--FILTER

--TELNO

The OTYPE value should be 'P' and FILTER value shoud be 'SD1', then only the the constant number 123 should go to the target field TELNO(Present in the segment K1P9009 ONLY),othewise the value from TELNO of source should target field TELNO(Present in the segment K1P9009 ONLY).

Suresh.

OTYPE ----->
                 --->equalS(StringFunctIon)-->
Constant(P)--->                                                                                Then(Constant: 123)
                                                                -->And(Boolean Function...O/P from equalS) --> IfWithElse ---> Target(K1P9009 --> TELNO)
FILTER --->                                                                                Else(TELNO)
                --->equalS(StringFunction)--->
Constant(SD1)-->

For multiple instances of source field (E1P0006) raise the context of the relevat fields....

Hi Suresh,

Please try the below code with the inputs to the function as otype, filter and telno respectively. Use context as the input type in the UDF

for(int i=0;i<OTYPE.length;i++)

{

if(OTYPE<i> == "P" & FILTER<i> == "SD1"

(

TELNO<i> = "123";

result.addValue(TELNO<i>);

)

else

result.addValue(TELNO<i>);

}

Vishnu.
