Powerbuilder: what does this computed polarformer mean?

Question

I have a computed field whose format is listed below -

#,##0.00;[RED](#,##0.00);#

By format, I meant the value of the format, which we can set from the properties of the calculated field (on the format tab).

What does this format mean?

Answer 1

The format property can contain up to 4 lines of a separate format, separated by semicolons. Only one is required. These formats are for numbers:

Positive format; negative format null format, null format

For other data types (string, date, time ...):

Non-null format, null format
