How to convert a hexadecimal to bigdecimal

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 03:42:48 GMT

Hi,

My requirement is to convert a string coming from a file in the format "00714078c3" and I have to convert it to bigdecimal and then do some look up with data in the lookup tables.

I am using tmap component.

Apparently bigDecimal will not work as it is alphanumeric.

Can someone please help with that?

Why don't you convert the lookup data to string value before doing the join?

Hi,

A quick method is as shown below. You can further convert the value from Integer to BigDecimal (if needed) using tConvertType component.

Integer.parseInt(row1.data,16)
