Change formatting on input field - value bound to long, remove comma

[Former Member]

I have an input field on my form. The value is bound to a context element of type "long". The value displays as "XX,XXX". Since the value actually represents a cost center, I would like the number to be displayed as "XXXXXX". Is there a way to format the display to remove the comma at the thousands? Is there a different datatype I should choose?

Thank you in advance.

Define a new DDIC simple type based on "long" and specify the format you want.

Of course, I hadn't thought of getting display options from the dictionary. thank you.
