Percentage format in Adobe form - has it been fixed?

[johnm16]

Hi Folks,

this pertains to output field formatting in Adobe forms.  I'm using Livecycle 11.0, patch level 26, which I think is the latest.

I have a decimal field that I want to express as a percentage in an Adobe form.  I know that Adobe does an internal calculation when it expresses percentages,  so a decimal value of 5.00 will output as 500%;  I can deal with that.  But I want the output to have 1 or 2 digits before the decimal place, and 2 digits after the decimal place, even if it's a zero value.  Like this:   3.76%   0.50%   0.00%   34.00%   - you get the idea.

However,  when I choose this output pattern:    num.percent{99.99}    the output is expressed as an integer if there are no digits other than zero after the decimal point.  So an example output is 18%, whereas I want 18.00%.  It does the same if I use  num.percent {z9.z9}.  And yes, the output field is plenty large enough.  

I've seen a lot of forum posts complaining about earlier versions of Livecycle with similar problems,  but I don't think I can blame the version.  And I don't want to use a string value, because the field is used for calculations.  It should work for a decimal.

What am I doing wrong?  

Cheers

John
