FMTBcd | Description
Collapse All

Converts a BCD value into another BCD value with a specified precision and number of decimals.

Pascal
function NormalizeBcd(const InBcd: TBcd; var OutBcd: TBcd; const Prec: Word; const Scale: Word): Boolean;
C++
Boolean NormalizeBcd(const TBcd InBcd, TBcd OutBcd, const Word Prec, const Word Scale);
File
Description

Call NormalizeBcd to give a TBcd value a specific precision and number of decimal places. If the specified precision or number of decimal places is less than that of the original BCD value, NormalizeBcd truncates the value (as opposed to rounding).  

InBcd is the BCD value to convert. 

OutBcd returns the resulting BCD value with the specified precision and decimal places. 

Prec is the number of significant digits in OutBcd. 

Scale is the number of decimal places in OutBcd. 

NormalizeBcd returns true if the conversion can be made with no loss of precision. It returns false if the conversion required some digits to be truncated.
