Problem with text field containing a numeric value

Former Member

Hi,

We have implemented a function module retrieving a CHAR 16 value (among others) that in many cases just consists of numbers (no letters or special characters). Directly after calling the function module the result values are assigned to text fields in the VC Store.

Showing these values in an input field (type "text") in a popup window results in a converted numeric value: Instead of showing the text value "1234567890123456" the system shows "1.23456789012e+15".

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Hi Guys,

I've heard a rumor that says that it's a bug in Flash player and it will be fixed in Flash Player 10. You can download the new FP [here|http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]

Natty,

seems like Flash Player 10 shows the same behaviour.

Any other ideas out there?

Hi Andreas,

I have tested your problem on my system with SPS16 an VC 7.0 and I have written a small FM to test your problem:

Export of FM:

export_number_as_char = '2800000000313543'.

When I test the FM in VC everything is ok. (Define/Test Data Service)

BUT, when I show the output of the FM in an output-form (type texte) the VC shows the value as 2.80000000031354e+15.

This is a bug in VC.

We should open an OSS message for this.

Best Regards,

Murat Y.
