The
zeroFormat property
specifies how zero values
are displayed in numeric fields (except in MONEY fields). This property
is
affected by the
numeric separator,
currency,
and
fillCharacter properties. The values
of
zeroFormat are
as follows:
- yes
- A
zero value is displayed as the number zero, which can be expressed
with
decimal points (0.00 is an example, if the field is defined with two
decimal
places) and with currency symbols and character separators ($000,000.00
is
an example, depending on the values of the currency and numericSeparator properties).
The following rules apply when the value of the zeroFormat property
is yes:
- If the fill
character (the value of the fillCharacter property)
is 0, the data is formatted with the character 0
- If the fill
character is a null, the data is left-justified
- If the fill
character is a blank, the data is right-justified
- If the fill
character is an asterisk (*), asterisks are used as the left-side
fillers instead of blanks
- no
- A zero value is displayed as a series of fill characters. This
is the
default.
