I've run into a problem in 4th Dimension - I can't seem to get the format
for floating point numbers correct in and input layout.
In one case I'm trying for a field like "$1.35" and in another case
I need something like "12.5" No matter what I try everything seems to
want to end up as whole numbers. In both cases the field type is "Real".
I can't find any examples in the manuals, which means I'm probably not
looking in the right place. I don't remember anything helpful in the tutorial -
there were "real" fields, but the examples all used numbers with the fraction
equal to ".00".
I'd appreciate any help - perhaps a pointer into the manuals or and example
of the display and entry filter formats for the above.
Please reply by e-mail as this probably isn't of general interest. Thanks.
