Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

Allowing for overflow field representation

Crystal Reports lets you use overflow field representation to assist users who are working with numeric or currency values in report cells. When the Allow Field Clipping option is not selected (the default behavior), numeric/currency field values that exceed the field size are represented by number signs (######) when you preview the report, letting you know immediately when the field is too small.
Otherwise, if a numeric or currency value is larger than the field containing it, that value is truncated, or "clipped." For example, values like 100,000,000 might appear on the report as 1,000, or as 000 (depending on the properties you have set). This could potentially cause confusion when the report is read.
