Hi

You have to change the format of the DD simple type in the dictionary.

1. Open the Simple Type

2.Click Representation Tab.

3.Goto the format field and supply your desired format.

For a list of format visit this link

Hope this helps

HI WINGOAL,

THR ARE STANDARD FORMATTING FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE IN JAVA.

U CAN USE CURRENCY FORMAT FUNCTION .

[nt : see java API for formatting]

Hi,

If you want to show in to your Input Field, use type String. Runtime you change it String with your desired format(11,000,420000) like (,) and zero's concatenating.

I don't think, there is any ready made solution for this.

Hi

Try this code in wdDoInit() method.

wdContext.node<YourNode>.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("YourAttribute").getModifiableSimpleType().setFormat("0,000.000000");

Hi,

this value getting from BAPI or any other way.

If getting the value from BAPI U can set in R/3 side.

Other wise we can display in View when we are getting form the BACK END.

Let me know how the value will come.

Thanks

hi,Lohitha.

these value is from Back end.

i import javabean as javabean model.

then i bind javabean model to context .

[Former Member]

Hi,

U should have data type is same what u displayed on the view must be match then only it is possible.

If that match the previous post is works fine.

Other wise it shows some exception like

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: MappedAttributeInfo(ApplicationView.Z_Rfc.Output.O_Table.price): must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute .

Please find this and solve your problem.

thanks

Hi

This is with reference to Lohitha's preveious post.

My post is applicable only to value nodes and not to model nodes. If you happen to bind UI Elements directly to model nodes you will encounter an exception. This is one reason why it is a bad idea to bind UI Elements directly to model nodes.

If your value node in view is mapped to a value node in a component/custom controller, write the formatting code in the wdDoInit() method of controller ( i.e. at the source). The code works fine.
