Hi,

I have to format a decimal number ( in database: NUMBER 10,6 ) to appear with always 2 but maximal 4 digits behind the decimal point.
I thought I could use a pattern, but when I write a pattern like Cognos documentation suggests, my report returns teh message: 'The specified localized pattern is invalid.'

Have somebody of you already used the format property pattern and have some ideas how the pattern should looks like?

Thanks!
