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.
