Numeric Format Error

[Former Member]

Hi there. We have a strange error over here. We wanted to use a numeric input field with thousand separator. E.g. the user puts in 5000 and the field shows 5.000,00 (german format) after pressing enter. This works.

If you press enter again 5.000,00 (five thousand) changes into 5 (five).

What's wrong? Thanks in advance. Axel

Hi Axel,

it seems to be typical bug of VC. There are some similar bugs with the inputfield, when you choose the data type date. E.g. you enter a date like 25.12.2006 (also german format) if you click then in another field the date are changed something like 12.25.2007. I had opened a message for this error. The SAP support told me they will fix this error with future releases.

A workaround is that you use the data type text and then you have to cast the values, if you need it for further operations. I hope that this bug will be fixed asap by the SAP.

Best Regards,

Marcel
