Mapping error StringIndexOutOfBound exception

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm getting this when i'm trying to display the queue for the sub-string function, i have set the starting position to zero and no.of characters to 4. So should increase the no.

RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 4] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib3.TextFunctions method substring[, com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.Context@18913e8]

Thanks,

Srinivas

Srinivas,

Can you paste the code for your subString udf here...as String indexoutOf Bounds is thrown when the string you are trying to subString is smaller than the one you expected....you can try this..get all the elements in the string..into an array and print them out with the value for each...that should tell you whats going wrong...

Hope that helps..

Ravi,

The input value is greater than the value which is given in the substring.

Substring has starting position set to 0 and no. of characters to 4 and the value I'm passing is of length '8' like 99993421

Srinivas..

Is this fixed..

i suggest you loop through all the values in the loop, ..catch the stringIndexOutOfBounds..and see what element its throwing the exception at..

StringIndexOutOfBoundException

Thrown by String methods to indicate that an index is either negative or greater than the size of the string. For some methods such as the charAt method, this exception also is thrown when the index is equal to the size of the string

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.html

Also check

[Former Member]

This may be due to

1. there is no values or characters in that place

2. value is not passed to the sub string..i.e..its empty

Can you check whether there is any string in there and check its length....

Guru,

The value is there and its greater than 4

Srini:

Can you post a screen shot or put the mapping here with the corresponding values in each fields. we can dig deeper into it

Hi Davuluri,

I think in your input field one value is less than 4 charcters. So make a display queue on the source input field. If you see a value which is less than 4 that is causing the error.

So in this case you use if--else functionality. Check the length of the input field and if the input is greater than 4 then only take the substring else pass directly.

Hi Srinivas,

Could you please send your UDF code. so that it would be easy to find the cause of error.

Thanks,
