Conversion of "number - " to " - number"

[Former Member]

Gurus,

In my XI-mapping logic, the Field (BRGEW) is added to another Field (NTGEW) that procuces a Target Field (TOTAL_QTY). The source system is ECC system.

When I get a Field (BRGEW) value, "1-", that comes from ECC to XI, the mapping fails because of error, "The map is unable to cast "1-" to float." It will pass if the value is "-1".

Which function can I use to convert the value, "1-" to "-1" to pass thru the mapping.

There is no standard function for this.

You have to write a customer function.

Does the message come from an ABAP proxy? Then you can provide the correct format in sender ABAP code.

No it actually comes from a standard Invoice IDOC.

You can create a UDF like this:

if (var1.endsWith("-")){
  var1 = "-" + var1.substring(0,var1.length()-1);
}
return var1;

I also need this function often.
