Using XML with Legacy Business Applications

DataCellN Class

This class handles conversion to and from a number with an implied decimal point and the schema language decimal data type. The data type code for this class is Nx, where x represents the number of implied decimal places.

For the fromXML method, if the number of fractional digits in the source decimal number exceeds the number of implied decimal places, it is right-truncated to the number of implied places. Zeroes are added as fractional digits if the source number has fewer fractional digits than the specified number of implied places.
