Description
Resolution:
When RFCs/BAPIs are called from external systems(say from MB), the import parameters of simple and structure types, need to be initialized with default values for SAP data types such as:
- DATS (Date) Default Value 8 spaces
- Time Default Value 6 spaces
- Numc (Numbers) Default Value N spaces
If these values are not initialized as per above guideline for the RFC/BAPI import parameters and structures , by the calling application (say MB), the SAPAdapter will most likely throw up an exception.
This behavior has been corrected in 3.1.0 adapter which now includes additional information for function parameters and class attributes in the form of property tags:
property name = "saptype" value = "D"
property name = "length" value = "8"
For more details, pl. consult ReadMe Doc or contact Customer Support.
