Question

I am new to H2 database, I ran into a particular problem where I was running a function named format.

public static String format(Double sumValue,Integer decimalValue){
 if(sumValue==null)
   return null;
 else{
      //format in particular order.
      }
}

There are chances of sumValue getting null value.

when I am running a query it is throwing a following exception

SELECT format(commamount,2) as formatted FROM pshipcommdetail [90105-153]

I went through the documentation and was able to figure out that the aruguments should be of wrapper class hence I changed to double!

Can anyone of you please help me to figure out where the actual problem is?

Thanking you

It was a bug in Phani’s code.
