Decimal Digits

The number of digits after the decimal to display and allow for data entry.

Default of -1 means use "No. of digits after decimal" specified in the user's regional settings. Alternatively, type an integer ranging from 0 to 4. If you want to enter a number greater than 4, check in Application Architect to be sure the field to which the control is bound was defined with at least as many digits after the decimal.

When a user enters fewer digits than the precision specified, a Currency control or column fills in the digits with zeros. If you want a Numeric control or column to fill in the digits to the precision specified, set Strict=True.

Strict

Pads display of numbers with trailing zeros as necessary. For example, if Decimal Digits=4, Strict=True, and the numeric value is 2.3, the value displays as 2.3000.
