NCo 3 crashes when invoking functions that return a time field

[Former Member]

I'm using NCo 3 (.NET 2 target framework) with Visual Studio 2010. When I invoke a function that returns time fields (like BAPI_ALM_ORDER_GET_DETAIL) NCo crashes with the following message:

SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcTypeConversionException: Cannot convert 240000 into TIME (HHmmss)

I'm currently using NCo version 3.0.0.42. Is there a newer version? Obviously this is a bug inside the NCo library which I can't fix from the outside rendering the connector almost useless.

Is this a known problem? Does anyone know if it is already fixed in newer revisions of NCo?

Seems to be fixed in 3.0.2.0 available for download.

I'm using NCo 3.02 (.NET 4 target framework) with Visual Studio 2010.

When I invoke a function that returns date fields (like BAPI_SALESORDER_GETLIST) NCo crashes with the following message:

SAP.Middleware.Connector.RfcTypeConversionException: Cannot convert DOCDATE....

Below is the code I'm using:

Dim customer_orderAPI As IRfcFunction = ecc.Repository.CreateFunction("BAPISALESORDER_GETLIST")

customer_orderAPI.SetValue("CUSTOMER_NUMBER", "0000020000")

customer_orderAPI.SetValue("SALES_ORGANIZATION", "ARCO")

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("MATERIAL", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("DOCUMENT_DATE", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("DOCUMENT_DATE_TO", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("PURCHASE_ORDER", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("TRANSACTION_GROUP", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("PURCHASE_ORDER_NUMBER", False)

customer_orderAPI.SetParameterActive("MATERIAL_EVG", False)

customer_orderAPI.Invoke(_ecc) 'I receive the error in this line

Dim table As IRfcTable = customer_orderAPI.GetTable("SALES_ORDERS")

Dim returnCode As String = customer_orderAPI.GetStructure("RETURN").GetString("TYPE")

If (returnCode.Equals("E") Or returnCode.Equals("A")) Then

Console.WriteLine(customer_orderAPI.GetStructure("RETURN").GetString("MESSAGE"))

Else

Console.WriteLine("*********** SUCCESS **********")

Console.WriteLine("Number of orders is .", table.RowCount)

End If

Does anyone know what is the issue and how to fix it?

Could you post more of the error message? In the next line the reason why the convert failed should be mentioned.
