Thanks for the answer. So, if my variable is #GPA# and the value stored is "4", I should use numberFormat(#GPA#, '9.99') so that it is displayed as "4.00"? > > 2 - Each time one of the new numeric fields contains a comma and the > > field gets sent to the database, the system returns a generic error. > >2) again, numberFormat() will put the commas in on the presentation. >decimalFormat() might...not sure...need to check the docs. Ok, but the error described in 2) pertains to an input field in a form that contains a comma (e.g., "2,450.00") which is sent to a database. How could numberFormat() be used (if applicable) to format the number so that, when sent to the database, an error due to the comma is not generated?
