Decimal vs. comma for positive number entry

LTQ
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

I'm trying to enter a number (ie. 1.25) in a number field but I keep getting the message that I need to enter a positive number...so I enter 1,25 and it accepts it. The field is formatted as a decimal with 2 fixed decimal digits and with a decimal separator.

Any ideas how I can make the field accept my entry of 1.25?

The default separator may depend upon the language/regionalized version of FM you are using. In layout mode, the separators can be changed by selecting the field, going to the Format Menu...Number option and changing the separator.

Thanks for the reply. In the number format window I have the number set as a decimal with 2 fixed decimal digits and with a decimal separator of "." - but I can't enter a number unless it has a comma and not a "."

Any ideas?

Again -- FM is taking that from OS. And validates that as well.

You are just setting DISPLAY format, not the entry format.
