----------------------------------------
Summary: No way to pad after affix if positive pattern does not
have an affix in textNumberPattern
Key: DAFFODIL-2871
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2871
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Steve Lawrence
Assignee: Steve Lawrence
Fix For: 3.7.0
ICU only uses the positive pattern of the textNumberPattern property to
determine pad character and position, completely ignoring the negative pattern.
If the positive pattern has no affix associated with the pad character, then
there is an ambiguity if the pad character should appear before or after the
negative affix when unparsing negative numbers. In this case, ICU defaults to
before the affix, with no way to change it via the pattern. This effectively
means it is not possible for ICU number padding to appear after a negative
affix if there is no positive affix.
We need a way to specify that ICU pad characters should apper after an affix if
the positive pattern does not have an affix.
