Timestamp as BigInteger

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am developing a webdynpro app which uses a standard RFM (CRMXIF_ORDER_SAVE) as the model.

I have generated the proxy classes for the deepnested RFM and I am able to call the RFM successfully.

One of the import atrribute for the input structure is a table DATES, which has a column has CRMT_DATE_TIMESTAMP_FROM as the datatype element.

From webdynpro, the timestamp can be only set as the bigdecimal.

I tried creating new BigDecimal("yyyymmddhhmmss") but this doesn't work. Can anyone suggest, what is the right format to create the BigDecimal.

Thanks for your time.

There is a typo in the subject. I meant BigDecimal.

Thanks

Hi,

Get the date object and get the long value and initialize the BigDecimal.

Just try the below lines of code

Date dt = new Date("01-Jan-2005");

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(dt.getTime());

Hope this helps.

Santhosh,

Thanks for your reply.

That is the first thing I did, getting th millisecs from zero epoch. That didn't work. Then I read somewhere in the forum someone tried this format "yyyymmddhhmmss" and that is what I tried and that didn't work either.

Thanks

Hi M_S

Probably this could be usefull for you:

Instead of just returning / assigning the same value you may convert it back 'n' force between timestamp and BigDecimal.

Valery,

Thanks for your reply.

I am saving some 50 attributes and for some of them I map a different value attribute to the model attribute and do these data conversions. Meaning, I do follow the methodology you proposed.

My problem is with the timstamp. I have given the code snippent below. However I do datacoversion at the view level, finally the controller has to populate the model node (timestamp) as bigdecimal. And what is the format it should be.

That is where i am having a problem.

Thanks for your time.

Crmxif_Order_Save_Input input = new Crmxif_Order_Save_Input();
wdContext.nodeCrmxif_Order_Save_Input().bind(input);
Crmxif_Bustrans data = new Crmxif_Bustrans();
input.addData(data);

Crmxif_Appointment_Xt dates = new Crmxif_Appointment_Xt();
Crmxif_Appointment dates_data = new Crmxif_Appointment();
dates_data.setAppt_Type("PRODDATE");
dates_data.setTimestamp_From(new BigDecimal("20050101000000"));

dates.addData(dates_data);

Hi M.S

What is the domain of your data element? How do you enter test data in SAP GUI? Will be you able to do a Date to this "data type" conversion in ABAP ?

If so try writing a wrapper Remote function module with a modified structure but this time use DATS datatype and try doing the converion in ABAP

Hey Guys,

Same code once with a model reimport worked. For the time and help I am awarding points for those who helped.

Thanks,
