MONEY

An item of type MONEY is a numeric value that is equivalent in most respects to an item of type DECIMAL. In the case of MONEY, the default for length is 16; the default for decimal places is 2; the minimum length is 2; and a currency symbol is displayed in output fields. MONEY corresponds to the IBM Informix 4GL MONEY data type.

In relation to output, the choice and placement of the currency symbol is based on the values of the item properties currency and zeroFormat, as described in Formatting properties.
