NonRadix
This variable determines which non-numeric characters will be ignored when
numbers are input. Multiple non-numeric characters may be specified (within
quotes) to be ignored. The default value is “,”. (For example, if you are
accustomed to typing in place holders (such as the “,” within “1,000”),
DPC/TRACK will not attempt to interpret the “,” as part of the input.)
NumberFormat
The specified format determines the editing format for Number fields. This
setting does not affect the display format of any Number field. The default
number editing format is #,###,##L.#########, where the “#” sign indicates
a place holder for a numeric character. The “L” tells DPC/TRACK to always
display the first character to the left of the decimal, otherwise a Tolerance
value of “0.25” would appear as “.25” while the focus is within the field. A
format of #L,LLL.RRR# would cause the Tolerance value to appear as
“0,000.250”.
Radix
This variable defines the character to use in place of the decimal point in US
Standard number formatting. The default value is “.”.
ShowClear
This variable determines whether or not the C:Clear field status message is
hidden from view. A C:Clear message indicates that the field has no data in
it, not even blanks. A C:Clear message will appear in a field when a
Ctrl+Bksp key combination is performed. If this variable is set to “Yes”, the
C:Clear messages will not be hidden from view when you leave the field.
