Sina:

Many thanks indeed. Until this morning I thought that you had left the building 
so to speak. Glad to know that you are still around. How goes your project?

Jim

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?
