Field help (ATYFORTYP)

Used to indicate the "adonix" format of the data type. This format must be coherent with the internal type. The format must conform to the Adonix syntax. Only the part situated to the right of the ":" should figure in this field. Ex : 10X , 3A2B. The detail of existing syntaxes is given in the corresponding documentation.

For a variable format, it should be preceded by "=". Ex : =[F:DEV]FM92

A good example of this type of variable format can be viewed with the MD1 to MD4 types. These formats are used for the amounts expressed in a currency. For MD1, the format =GDEVFMT. This global variable is loaded in the INIDEV action declared in this same data type.
