Hello Everyone,

Has anyone seen this error in Message Mapping in XI? What did you do to resolve it?

John,

Are u using any UDF to populate the target field PositionDetail ? Or are u using any standard mathematical function?

Hi Raj,

I ran the standard message mapping from SAP, and it has this error as well. I'm not sure what you mean by UDF (User Defined Fields?). Right now, I'm not sure this is an issue, or it maybe an issue for an OSS note.

Thanks,

John

John,

UDF - User Defined Function. If you don't mind can u tell us how you mapped the target field PositionDetail.

Raj,

This is the standard HR XML 1.0 package from SAP used in E-Recruiting for XI. The mapping was already accomplished.

Also - just fyi and an update - when I run the original message mapping from SAP, I get the same error. Maybe a false positive?

Thanks,

John

If you are using a UDF, then the input and the output from the UDF is in the form of a string.If a float value is passed to the UDF,and if there are some arithmetic operations done on that float value then you need to convert the string to float - something like the below.

String s = "100.00";

try {

float f = Float.valueOf(s.trim()).floatValue();

System.out.println("float f = " + f);

} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {

System.out.println("NumberFormatException: " + nfe.getMessage());

}

\

Then before returning the value to the target field,convert the value back to string like this -

Float.toString(float f)

In case you are using some other standard functions,do let us know of that as well so that we can suggest resolutions to this error.

thanks\

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses. But again, this is a package from SAP (E-Recruiting for XI) and no modifications to the original message mapping have been done. Is anyone doing E-Recruiting for XI? Please consider this...

Thanks so much!

Hi John,

you probably use some arithmetic function in your mapping and your source document contains NaN (not a number) value in a field, which has to be mathematically processed.

Let's say, you want to substract <value1> - <value2>, but one of the fields contains for example a letter, some special character or is blank.

Check your source message.
