Data Types

Review the Data types you need to use to integrate with Bamboo Payment.

Basic

Refer to this section to learn some important aspects of the basic data types of Bamboo Integration.

String

It’s a set of characters that can contain any Unicode character. You can define a maximum length for this data type using square brackets; for example, string[30] means that the string can contain a maximum of 30 characters. If a string has more characters than the maximum defined, it will be truncated, and processing will continue.

Numeric

Refers to an integer value. You can define a maximum length for this data type using square brackets; for example, Numeric[3] means that the number can have a maximum of 3 digits. If the data has a value greater than the specification, an error will be returned.

Amount

Refers to a Numeric field that includes decimals to express the value of a transaction. These fields are always expressed with the integer part plus two decimals without punctuation marks between them.

The following table shows how values should be codified:

Value	Coded as
100	10000
1.237,52	123752
3.200,5	320050
0,01	1

TimeStamp

This data type shows a date/time value that must be expressed in the following format:

"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.ttt"

Where:

YYYY indicates the year
MM indicates the month
DD indicates the day
T indicates the beginning of the required time section
hh indicates the hour (from 0 to 23)
mm indicates the minutes
ss indicates the seconds
ttt indicates the milliseconds

Below are examples of how values should be codified:

Value	Coded as
2016/01/12 13:21:48.354	`2016-01-12T13:21:48.354`
2016/03/31 05:17:00.000	`2016-03-31T05:17:00.000`
2016/11/28 22:59:59.970	`2016-11-28T22:59:59.970`

Date

This Data type contains an exact date. Unlike the TimeStamp data type, it does not include hours and is in the following format:

yyyyMMdd

Boolean

This data type is a logical value (true or false).

TransactionStatus

Possible values:

TransactionStatusID	TransactionStatus
1	Approved
