437.0. "scale factor problem" by CSC32::J_HENSON (Don't get even, get ahead!) Fri Apr 18 1997 21:04
decintact v2.0-1, openvms v6.1, vax
A customer (MMB) is having a problem with scale factors for formatted
fields. From the forms manager, he is defining a filed as
format 999.999.
In the field attributes menu, the field is displayed as
formatted with a precision of 3 and a scale factor of 0.
He wants it to have a scale factor of 3.
Per the customer, page 517 of the forms manual states that the scale
must be greater than or equal to the precision. However, if he
tries to change it, he gets an error saying that the scale factor must
be 0.
Any ideas as to what is going on here? Is it a bug, or a misunderstanding
of how scale factors work?
Thanks,
Jerry Henson
