Changing Display format for a real.
Changing Display format for a real. We have an issue where if the value of the real has four decimal places, the value is stored in exponential notation instead of standard decimal format. Various ...
Blaze real values are stored as double in the underlying language (Java or .NET) and use IEEE 754 floating point format - an exponential number. For display purposes you could format them differently for other applications that call Blaze, depending on the integration mechanism. That's why I asked where exactly you see exponential representation.
Alternatively, you could use Blaze "money" datatype (represented by BigDecimal number) and ignore the currency part, or just import BigDecimal type into Blaze and use it instead of real for certain properties in your object model.
