number format error messages. Can system messages be changed?

[Former Member]

I am working in the _usben application. We are adding beneficiary processing. When adding beneficiaries you can elect a percentage to each/any of the beneficiaries. The field is defined as a built in type of decimal with 3 digits no fraction - ben_bprcnt. Only whole numbers are aceptable.

If I enter 50% and click "Add plan to selection" I get an error of "Enter the value in the format -2,733.34"

If I enter 8.5 and click "Add plan to selection" I get an error of "Accuracy 0 exceeds fractionDigits 1"

These are both system generated messages - not found in the WebDynpro. I've put breakpoints in the code and control is never returned to the onAction event or in "isConsistant".

Are these NetWeaver, Portal or Java errors? Can they be changed??

Those are "server" error messages, which means that they are located in a file on the server itself.

I will try to retrace the file, but in the meantime you can search the usr dir for a file containing one of the error messages.
