The
zeroFormat property
specifies how zero values are displayed in numeric fields but not in fields
of type MONEY. 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 item 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 property zeroFormat 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 the fill character.
