Maximum format limited to 15 significant figures : 15 numbers, 0 decimals and 4 deliminator spaces (###,###,###,###,###). Maximum format limited to 12.3 significant figures : 12 numbers, 3 decimals and 4 deliminator spaces (###,###,###,###.###).

• Format 2 (field FM2)

It concerns the format used for a small amount (for example unit price, discount). The format is variable with a limit of 10 significant characters. The format includes possible space deliminators. Examples: Maximum format limited to 6.2 significant figures : 6 integers, 2 decimals and 2 deliminator spaces (###,###.##). Maximum format limited to 8 significant figures : 8 integers, 0 decimals and 2 deliminator spaces (##,###,###). Maximum format limited to 5.3 significant figures : 5 integers, 3 decimals and 2 deliminator spaces (##,###.###).NB : The number of effective decimals in unit prices is determined by the variable GDECPRI.

• Format 3 (field FM3)

This concerns the format used by the totaled amount (for example, balance totals or statistics). The format is variable with a limit of 20 significant figures. The format includes possible space deliminators. Examples: Maximum format limited to 17.2 significant figures : 17 integers, 2 decimals and 1 deliminator space (#################,##).
