Description

Syntax
DECIMALPOINT( integer )
| Part | Description |
| integer | Expression that evaluates to an integer specifying the minimum number of digits to the right of the decimal point. |
Remarks
The DECIMALPOINT keyword affects only the visual format of values in WinStudio forms. With the specification DECIMALPOINT( n ), WinStudio appends zeros to the value of a component so the number of digits to the right of the decimal point is n. If the value does not have a decimal point, WinStudio appends a decimal point and n zeros to the right of it. If the value has at least n digits to the right of the decimal point, WinStudio does not change the value.
The DECIMALPOINT keyword can serve as a parameter of the DEFAULTFORMAT keyword in data-type specifications. See DEFAULTFORMAT, COMMA, and COMMAS in Related Topics.
Example
A component value with the following format specification displays two digits to the right of the decimal point:
DEFAULTFORMAT(DECIMALPOINT(2))
