Using data type DEC.

Former Member — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:59:36 GMT

Hi,

Am using the Data type DEC to display values for my database table. I have to display values like 1234.5678,but inspite of giving decimal places to 4 I am getting those values as 1234,5678.Why is that ?

What to change.

Try this

data: val type p decimals 5 .

val = '1000.888'.

write:/ val.

so you should use packed decimal

Hi,

Goto Menu SYSTEM -> USER PROFILE -> OWN DATA then click on defaults tab and check the Decimal Notation field. Change the value as your wish from the list of drop down values. Then save it.

Rgds,
