<div><p>Specifies the format used when displaying numbers. (QDECFMT)</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Decimal format</span>, also known as <span class="uicontrol">QDECFMT</span>,
is a member of the international category of i5/OS™ system values. You can use this system
value to set the format to use when displaying numbers. You can now work with
all system values in iSeries™ Navigator. To learn more, keep reading.</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">What can I do with this system value?</h4><p>You can specify
the format used when displaying numbers. This system value is used for the
following:</p>
<ul class="simple"><li>To determine the type of zero suppression and decimal point character
used by DDS edit codes 1 through 4 and A through M.</li>
<li>To determine the decimal point character for decimal input fields on
displays.</li>
</ul>
<p>Possible values for the decimal format are:</p>
<ul><li><span class="uicontrol">1,000.04 .04 (blank)</span> <p>Use a period for a decimal
point, use a comma for a three-digit grouping character, and suppress zeros
to the left of the decimal point.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">1.000,04 0,04 (J)</span> <p>Use a comma for a decimal
point, and use a period for a three-digit grouping character. Zero values
to the left of the comma are written with one leading zero (0,04). This value
overrides any edit codes that might suppress the leading zero.</p>
</li>
<li><span class="uicontrol">1.000,04 ,04 (I)</span> <p>Use a comma for a decimal point,
use a period for a three-digit grouping character, and suppress zeros to the
left of the decimal point.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Where can I get more information about this system value?</h4><p>To
learn more, go to the international system values overview topic. If you are
looking for a specific system value or category of system values, try using
the i5/OS system
value finder.</p>
