Hi All,
I want to use fixed point datatype in my application. I've defined a
field as decimal(18,4) using dialect 3.
But I can`t give corresponding TField component at client side.
dbExpress recognizes that field as TFmtBCD component, not as TBCDField.
There is a notice in the Delphi/Kylix help about TFmtBCDField: such type
applicable when precision of "Currency" datatype is not enough.
As I know "currency" has precision (20,4). So what is wrong?
Thanks ahead
