Suzy:

I'm using Big Decimal as well.... it ended up being one of the custom classes 
we were using and eventually it got sorted out.

Yes I have been away more or less since the first of May.... I contracted food 
poisoning and it took two months for it to give up the ghost. A word to the 
wise, if food smells wierd, chances are it is, so don't eat it.

Jim

Hi Jim C,
I'm sure you are aware of BigDecimal. That is what we use here at the United 
Staates Department of Agriculture when dealing with money. By the way, it seems 
to me you have been away for a while.

Jim, as far as I know the conversion happens automatically if there will be a 
loss of precision. I couldn't find a method in the java api to convert back, 
but I'm sure you can write one with little effort or avoid this happening by 
using trunkation.

Hi:
I have a data entry screen that accepts dollar values and the limit is set to 
13 digits that include the decimal and trailing cents to two places. However 
after formating the value on a lost focus event, particular entries are 
displayed as an exponent.
What's going on here and how should I address it?
