-
getDecimalPositions()
- Returns the number of digits after the decimal point for this field.
-
setDataType(AS400PackedDecimal)
- Sets the AS400DataType object describing this field.
-
setDFT(BigDecimal)
- Sets the value for the DFT keyword for this field.
PackedDecimalFieldDescription
public PackedDecimalFieldDescription(AS400PackedDecimal dataType,
String name)
- Constructs a PackedDecimalFieldDescription object. It uses the specified
data type and name of the field.
