Data Formats

Sometimes Format may be defined for parsing and formatting data values.

  1. Any date can be parsed and/or formatted using date and time format pattern. See Data and Time Format.

    Parsing and formatting can also be influenced by locale (names of months, order of day or month information, etc.). See Locale.

  2. Any numeric data type (decimal, integer, long, number) can be parsed and/or formatted using numeric format pattern. See Numeric Format.

    Parsing and formatting can also be influenced by locale (e.g., decimal dot or decimal comma, etc.). See Locale.

  3. Any boolean data type can be parsed and formatted using boolean format pattern. See Boolean Format.

  4. Any string data type can be parsed using string format pattern. See String Format.

[Note]Note

Remember that both date and time formats and numeric formats are displayed using system Locale value or the Locale specified in the defaultProperties file, unless another Locale is explicitly specified.

For more information on how Locale may be changed in the defaultProperties see Changing Default CloudConnect Settings.
