Scientific format received as a result of deserialization

[CimermanDenis]

"value": 93.5 received in response from web service becomes 9.3500000000000000E+01 after deserialization. I am not using any mapping to tables/structures but "direct" access to fields via /ui2/cl_data_access=>create. Is that a known issue that could be handled?

Hi Denis,

I assume it is by design. I also assume that instead of deserializing into a predefined data structure you are using GENERATE or DESERIALIZE into REF TO data. In this case, the class follows default logic for detecting the best data type for receiving structure, and everything that contains '.Ee' (93.5) will be the float (9.3500000000000000E+01). Which other type would you expect?

As said, if you need a specific type to be used for your receiving data you need to provide it as an input for deserialization.

BR, Alexey.
