Updating Numeric FORMFields

[JPDO]

Hello,
Nowadays many information transfer is done with text-strings.
I like to know how we can get those text-strings in formfields which are defined numeric.
Suppose the formfield x1 is defined as numeric with length 5 and 2 decimals.
The text-string contains "20,45".
Is it possible to do an update so like the result would the same as a manual input ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't understand your question JPDO. What do you want the final result of the text string to appear as if a formfield is defined as numeric with length 5 and 2 decimals?

xxxxx.xx

?

Thanks for your reply !
I mean a formfield defined as NUMBER with length 7 and a format 0,00.
In input i receive "20,45" as string.
Can i set this a result of the formfield and then calculate with the formfield ?

I forgot about this thread.

What do you want the end result of 20,45 to look like - exactly?
