[BPC 7.5] Problem with transformation file

Hi,

 

I am trying to load data from a text file into BPC. I have set up a transformation file and all the necessary conversion files and the data basically loads. The only problem I have is that my decimals, which exist in the text file, are not imported.

 

A line from my text file looks like this

 

1104;2011.DEC;123456;100;I_NONE;765432,98

 

The important thing to note is the decimal separator, which is a comma instead of a point. On the SQL server for BPC we use a point.

 

In my transformation file I have therefore added a line in the *OPTIONS section which reads.

 

AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = ,

 

Unfortunately this does not seem to do anything. I have tested this hypothesis by replacing all commas in the data file with points and then removed the line from the transformation file. After this the data loaded as I would expect, including the correct decimals.

 

Where am I going wrong as  I have used the AMOUNTDECIMALPOINT = , successfully in the past.

 

Thanks for any help in advance,

Arnold
