I have a question about the method getLength(String fieldname) or getLength(int index) in JCoMetaData (release e.g. 3.0.17).
According to API it should return the max length of the given data field.
If I use this method on a field of type BCD (TYPE_BCD) the result always differs from the length given in the dictionary data element. It seems always: result = <real length> / 2 + 1
Example: JCoFunction BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
Field DSCT_PCT1 in Table ACCOUNTRECEIVABLE, Length: 5, decimal places: 3
But jcoMetaData.getLength("DSCT_PCT1") returns 3. Why not 5?
What shoud I do to get always the real length of such fields?
