Numeric format i Business Object

[Former Member]

Hi

We are trying to build a Business Objects reporting solution on top of SAP BW, but we are experience a lot of problems but most of all is that Business Objects is not reading the information form SAP BW correct.

Numc format on a infoobject is converted into char value in the Business Objects univers.

Does anyone have a solution to that problem and I don't want to convert it in the report but in the univers

Best Regards

Hi,

We do not support NUMC data type for the moment because SAP NUMC data type can have from 1 to 255 digits whereas Universe Numerci data type supports onl 16 digits.

We had in our plans to support NUMC data type in the next Service Pack but it has been postponed to future release.

So you have to do the conversion at the document level. Do not convert it in the universe because this would generated an error at the OLAP driver level.

thanks for the answer

But...

If you create a numeric value in the report layer then you can't use the variable to join against another univers. Further more you have to create this varible each time you create a new report.

Is there not another solution to this problem?
