About Numbers

This topic describes the types of numbers that you can use with Siebel eScript. Siebel eScript treats a number that contains a character other than a decimal point as a string. For example, the number 100,000 is a string, including the comma. The exception is hexadecimal numbers and scientific notation.

The number types that this topic describes are not data types. You cannot write code that uses one of these number types as a data type in the declaration of a strongly typed variable. For more information, see Using Strongly Typed and Typeless Variables.
