The BRConfig.sys DECIMAL spec allows you to require the operator to type a decimal point when entering a numeric value that is formatted to include a fraction. This specification affects INPUT FIELDS/RINPUT FIELDS statements where the format of the numeric variable is X.X, as in the following example:

00010 INPUT FIELDS "10,10,N 7.2,R":NUMBER

The DECIMAL spec uses one of two parameters: ASSUMED (the start-up default), or REQUIRED. When DECIMAL REQUIRED is active, the operator needs to enter a decimal point for the above INPUT FIELDS value, only if a fractional part of a number is desired.

The following table compares the acceptable values for NUMBER when DECIMAL REQUIRED is active versus when DECIMAL ASSUMED is active.

{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
|Value entered (using N 7.2)'''|| DECIMAL REQUIRED '''|| DECIMAL ASSUMED'''||
|-
| 1234.56 '''|| 1234.56 '''|| 1234.56
|-
| 1234 56 '''|| err 0002 '''|| 1234.56
|-
| 123456 '''|| err 0002 '''|| 1234.56
|-
| 1234 '''|| 1234.00 '''|| notice 12.34
|-
| 1234. '''|| 1234.00 '''|| 1234.00
|-
|}

The difference occurs when a decimal point is not entered. The DECIMAL spec may also be specified by the CONFIG command while Business Rules! is active.
