Description:
Symptoms
========

Adapter will throw the error “AER3-940009” and dev_rfc.trc file will have an entry “Unable to interpret  as a number”


Impact
======
Loss of Functionality.  Adapter would not be able to process the request correctly. At SAP end, the data will not initialize as expected.


Workaround
==========
Initialize the NUMC field values with the exact NUMC data type field length by appending zeroes for the remaining entries. The field length of the value should be equal to the field length of the NUMC data type.

For example, if a NUMC field has a field length of 6 and if the value is “123”, send it as “000123”.


Cause
======
If a value initialized for a field of NUMC and if the length of the value is less than the field length of NUMC data type, adapter appends the character ‘#’ for the remaining entries.

For example, if a NUMC field has a field length of 6, and if we send the value as “123”, the value comes at SAP end as “###123”.


Resolution
==========
This will be fixed in a future release of the TIBCO Adapter for R/3.
