Answer 1

I have used the following code for importing the date value to a rfc the I have checked that the code for date is fine but still I am not getting any output. I think that its the issue of the date format. Because while testing the RFC, it is not accepting date in   dd-mm-yyyy format but is only accepting in the format dd.mm.yyyy or ddmmyyyy.
So I believe that it is the issue of date format. or might be possible that there would be some error in the way I am executing the RFC.
Even after setting the debugger in RFC, the the RFC is not coming into picture i.e, the project is not hitting the RFC  might be because of the wrong format of date .
Could you please refer to the code and suggest something.
Rp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid is the name of RFC.
     try
            Rp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_Input inp = new Rp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_Input();
            wdContext.nodeRp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_Input().bind(inp);     
wdContext.currentRp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_InputElement().setBegda(new java.sql.Date((new java.util.Date()).getTime()));
wdContext.currentRp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_InputElement().setUsrid(wdContext.currentContextElement().getUserid());
String dateInput = "9999.12.31";
       SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy.MM.dd" ) ;
            java.sql.Date dt = null;
            try {
                dt = new java.sql.Date( sdf.parse(dateInput).getTime()) ;
            catch(Exception io)
             io.printStackTrace();
          wdContext.currentRp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_InputElement().setEndda(dt);
wdContext.currentRp_Get_Pernr_From_Userid_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
catch (Exception e)
                                         wdContext.currentContextElement().setTest(e.toString());
