Error When Copying Decimal Values

[former_member183363]

Hello everyone,

I have an odd problem in a solution of mine --- I have a custom BO which is used to create customer invoice requests (CIRs) using some values taken from a record of another custom BO. During the AfterModify script which creates this CIR (an XML file input is used to trigger the script), I try to copy some data from fields in the single record of the second custom BO, into matching fields I've put in an XBO for CIR. The odd thing is that the script just stops as soon as it tries to parse the lines which copy the values --- no error message that I can see of any kind. If the fields I'm writing to were read-only it'd say so when I tried to activate the AfterModify script I think. Can anyone shed some light on this?

You'll notice I'm using 'instCustomerInvoiceRequest', which as you can see is the name of the newly-created CIR instance. I also tried putting the same functional code, but using 'elementsofCIRRoot' pre-creation of the CIR.

Many thanks.

Lewis

So what is the actual error? Is there any information in the Dump Analysis window?

Are there any warnings or similar left in your error list?

Dump analysis yielded something --- I'd forgotten about that. I know what it means by overflow, but I'm lost as to why it would be happening. See image below, thanks.

Are you accidentally assigning incompatible types? Actually this should bring a warning. Is your Errorlist clear?

Definitely no errors appearing, they're both DecimalValue types and I see no warnings about one being from BASIS.Global and one from GDT.Global or whatever.

Hello Lewis,

Please post the data types of the "Ceiling" fields.

And, if you run a trace the value before the assignment.

Hello Lewis,

Did you annotate the DecimalValue in the SAP BO?

All of the banding level fields have tooltips and/or labels, if that's what you mean.

Hi Lewis,

can you post both field declarations (complete with all annotations)?

HostBilling BO declaration --- this is the BO with the single record I'm taking values from.

The CustomerInvoiceRequest XBO declaration.

Hello Lewis,

In the Extension BO you can annotate the DecimalValue data type with "Decimal"

Example:

    [Decimal (15,3)] element MyDecValue : DecimalValue;

This element has a total of 15 digits with 3 digits after the decimal point

The maximum range is 29 digits, 14 for the fraction.

If you omit the annotation the standard is used, i.e. 7 digits at all, 2 digits for the fraction

In the Customer Business Object you cannot annotate this data type.

Here the maximum is used.

I assume in your case a value larger than 7 digits is in the element of the CBO HostBilling, but the element in the Extension BO CustomerInvoiceRequest can not host that large value => Dump

My suggestions:

• Annotate in the Extension BO CustomerInvoiceRequest the element with [Decimal(29,14]) to match the data type definition of the Customer BO HostBilling

Or

• Make sure that the values in the CBO does not exceed 7 digits.

HTH,

We have a winner! Thanks Horst, good explanation. You'd think the decimal would use the maximum by default...

Hello Lewis,

Sorry for optimization

Glad, that it helps you.

Hello Lewis,

Are you sure that the query return any entry?

Even a GetFirst on an empty list is initial.

Horst,

Yes, there are entries --- I made sure that there's a record before I started. And when I mouse over 'source.zBandingLevel0Ceiling', it shows the value I'm trying to copy.
