MATH_NUMERIC Data Type

The MATH_NUMERIC data type exclusively represents all numeric values in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software. The values of all numeric fields on a form or batch process are communicated to business functions in the form of pointers to MATH_NUMERIC data structures. MATH_NUMERIC is used as a data dictionary (DD) data type.

The data type is defined as follows:

struct tagMATH_NUMERIC
{
 ZCHAR String[MAXLEN_MATH_NUMERIC+1];/* Just the digits - no separators */
 BYTE Sign;    /* �-� if negative, 0x00 otherwise */
 ZCHAR EditCode;   /* The Data Dictionary edit code to Format for display */
 short nDecimalPosition;  /* # of digits from right end of string to decimal point⇒
 */
 short nLength;   /* The number of digits in s */
 WORD wFlags;   /* Processing Flags */
 ZCHAR szCurrency[CURRENCY_CODE_SIZE];/* The Currency Code */
 short nCurrencyDecimals;  /* The Number of Currency Decimals */
 short nPrecision;   /* The Data Dictionary Size */
};

This table lists various elements:

MATH_NUMERIC Element	Description
String	Digits without separators
Sign	A minus sign indicates the number is negative, otherwise the value is 0x00
EditCode	Data dictionary edit code that formats the number for display
nDecimalPosition	Number of digits from the right to place the decimal
nLength	Number of digits in the string
wFlags	Processing flags
szCurrency	Currency code
nCurrencyDecimals	Number of currency decimals
nPrecision	Data dictionary size
