SAP BAPI - Packed Binary

[PWarwick]

Hi,

I am using Websphere Transformation Extender 8.1.0.2 in conjunction with Websphere Transformation Extender Pack for SAP R/3 version 7.5(64).

I have used the Importer Wizard of the Type Designer to create a type tree that represents a SAP BAPI. The type tree was automatically generated using the "Import from BAPI" option of the Importer wizard. I have not modified the generated type tree.

I can successfully call the SAP BAPI via WTX and the SAP adapter but there is one field that does not get processed correctly.

The field is defined within the type tree as Number, Interpret As Binary, Presentation=Packed, Length=7, Implied Places=3, Signed=Yes (Value=Trailing -).

I have had a look at the output file associated with the output card (that calls the BAPI) and it "look's OK" (e.g. 303 is displayed as 03 03 00 0F).

The BAPI is called successfully but the packed binary field is interpreted as 0 (zero).

Has anyone else had a similar problem??

Thanks.

Is it generating the full output - 00 00 00 03 03 00 0F?

Many thanks for your reply janhes. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I've since discovered that the problem was not with the WTX-SAP adapter itself. I should have been populating a different combination of BAPI fields to get the correct data into the desired target location within SAP.
