isDecimalDigit

The isDecimalDigit verification property determines whether to check that the input value includes only valid decimal digits, which may be any of the following characters:
  • Numeric characters 0-9
  • A negative sign (-)

Valid values are NO (the default) and YES.

This property applies only to character fields.

If you want to allow more characters such as the decimal character (a period or a comma) and the separator character (a comma or a period) as the input value, use one of the following ways:
  • Specify the field type as NUM rather than char;
  • Ensure that the isDecimalDigit = YES form field is ignored. To ignore that field, set the symbolic parameter IGNOREISDECIMALFORCHARFIELD to YES.
