Decimal Character

 

This item property applies to those numbers specified as decimal. If the number is a decimal value, this states whether or not the decimal point is present in the data file. Your valid choices are:

 

• Yes the data file contains a decimal point for this item, or

 

• No the data file does not contain a decimal point for this item.

 

Note that if your item does not have a "numeric" data type, the Data Dictionary will not allow any value other than No. You can set this option for all items by clicking on "DecChar Default 'Yes'" on the Option menu.
