When using the SAP datatype BCD, it may happen that incorrect values are communicated between zenon and SAP.
Summary
The conversion from a numerical variable value in zenon to a BCD value in SAP may be incorrect depending on operating system settings. When the comma sign (,) is used as a decimal separator, then the resulting BCD value will be wrong. Only when a dot (.) is used as a decimal separator, the conversion can be performed correctly.
Description
The conversion from a numerical variable value in zenon to a BCD value in SAP may be incorrect depending on operating system settings. When the comma sign (,) is used as a decimal separator, then the resulting BCD value will be wrong. Only when a dot (.) is used as a decimal separator, the conversion can be performed correctly.
Solution
The issue described above was fixed by not using the decimal separator that is configured in the operating system for the conversion. Instead, the conversion will now always use the dot (.) character.
Information
As a workaround you can set the decimal separator to the dot (.) in the operating system.
