Forcing a decimal

[Former Member]

Hi

I have some data returned by an RFC which is bound to a table. This contains some Amount fields. The problem is that if there is no decimal value then the Amount is represented as a whole number without the decimals.

We would like to force the zeroes even if there are no decimal values returned by the RFC. Any input in this regard would be of great help.

Hi Ceci,

1. You can create a simple type and set the format for that simple type with decimal places. (####.00)

2. You have to create the value node and create the value attributes similar to the return table structure of the RFC.

3. Set the data type of the "Amount" value attribute with the created simple type.

4. Loop through the model node and set the data to the value node.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Santhosh

But when I execute the RFC from the ABAP side, I am getting the data with decimal places.

Why do I have to create a simple type to get the decimal places?

Hi Ceci,

It happens internally, when the data comes to the webdynpro side, the decimals are automatically formatted.

Thats why you don't see the decimals.

Hi Santhosh

do i really have to loop through the model node and populate the value node?

is it possible to avoid the looping?

Hi Ceci,

To avoid looping through the model node and assign it to the value node. You can create a value node and value attribute under the model node with the cardinality 1:1 and by using the supply function you can avoid looping through the model node.

Refer the blog "Supply functions in WebDynpro"

Hope this helps. If you require more info on this send a reply.

Hi Ceci,

I don't have the samle code with me right away. I will send the code to you by tomorrow.

Hi Ceci,

1. Create a simple type "ST_Amount", built-in type decimal and in the "Representation" mention the "Format" as "#,###.00##"

2. Create a value node "vnAmount" with cardinality 1:1 and "singleton=false" under the RFC output table.

3. Create a value attribute "vaAmount" under the value node "vnAmount" and set the "type" as created simple type "ST_Amount".

4. Click on the value node and create a supplyfunction.

5. Goto the implementation tab and write the following code.

IPrivateCO_ComponentName.IVnAmountElement amountElement = node.createVnAmountElement();

node.bind(amountElement);

amountElement.setVaAmount(parentElement.getRFCAmount());

6. In the Table UI element change the binding of the amount field. Select the newly created a value attribute.

This will solve your problem.
