Conversion of Bigdecimal

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a input field Amount of type Bigdecimal.

i have to sum the column data Amount; after that the total is passed to Amount(Bigdecimal) input field.

The code for calculation is as follows:

public void onActionTotalOfAmount(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )

{

//@@begin onActionTotalOfAmount(ServerEvent)

int NodeSize = wdContext.nodeCtx_Claim_Create().size();

float Amount = 0;

for(int i=0;i<NodeSize;i++)

{

Amount = Amount + wdContext.nodeCtx_Claim_Create().getCtx_Claim_CreateElementAt(i).getCtx_Amount();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setCtx_Total(Amount);

}

But when i am passing the Amount to input field(Bigdecimal) the error is type missmatch.

Please tell me that how to convert the Amount(float) to Amount (big decimal).

Regards

Hi,

use -

Amount = Amount.add(wdContext.nodeCtx_Claim_Create().getCtx_Claim_CreateElementAt(i).getCtx_Amount());

instead of

Amount = Amount + wdContext.nodeCtx_Claim_Create().getCtx_Claim_CreateElementAt(i).getCtx_Amount();

Edit:

Do not use float for amount. use -

BigDecimal Amount = new BigDecimal(0);

Hi,

in general to convert float to big decimal

* To convert Float to BigDecimal.
      * @param f the Float to be converted
      * @return converted BigDecimal
      */
     public BigDecimal toBigDecimal(Float f) {
          return (f == null) ? null : new BigDecimal(f.toString());
     }

that is.....

BigDecimal big = new BigDecimal(floatX.toString());

apply it as you want.
