This has the information you need. Just add 13 as the second parameter, as 
discussed.

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?
