Field Information

Currency Format Code

The identification code of the currency format.

This code can be used to specify how to display currencies in:

  • Form fields
  • Domains
  • Reports
  • Program scripts

You can only use the currency format if the data type of the element to which it is linked is Float or Double. In that case this code must be specified as %A<currency format>, for example, %A001 or %A030.

The numeric codes have been reserved by the software producer.

The number of all significant digits used in the format. This does not include thousand signs and decimal signs.

Minus Sign

Indicates how negative amounts are displayed.

Thousand Sign

If this check box is selected, thousand signs (comma or period) can be used in the format.

Currency Symbol

If this check box is selected, a symbol can be displayed before or after the amount.
