What is the difference between Length, Decimal Places, Output Length?

[yalcin_mete]

Hi Masters,

Does "Length" or "Output Length" determine the maximum length that a variable type can have?
Does Output Length mean including the value after the comma (decimal)? Or is it length?
What is the maximum value I can give for this domain? Can I show the value 1234567891234.12?
Where should I look for the integer part?

Thanks

Hello @yalcin_mete 

Length is the domain length including decimal places excluding format characters.

In your case, the domain is WERT11, length 11, decimal places 2. It means you can store there 9 digits of integer part. 

Output length is 14, which includes format characters i.e. thousands separator and decimal point:

• 123.456.789,00
• 123,456,789.00

depending on your decimal notation setting.

Best regards
