Hi

Check while preparing Fieldcatalog you are giving length 19 to this amount fields .

For this u have a option of output length in fieldcatalog .

Try this .

Hope this helps .

Hi maahi,

It is just the display length. It will not be applicable to data.

But if the database doesn't contains the values more than 14 digits how will you get the values like that?

Are you doing some calucalation which can lead to more than 14 digits ?

3 thousands separators

1 comma for decimals

1 sign

14 digits

Ex: 123.456.789.012,34-

could be...
