Yes there may well be issues with formatting not being applied in various places but I think it is those which should be fixed rather than adding a property. My preference for BigDecimal initialization would be to use BigDecimal.ZERO.

Yes, I agree that's why I asked. However these strings are *intialized* to "0.00" or "'0.00" is a ternary ? default and, as they are default, used if no formatted values replace them.
At least in POS
Receipt.java[472]
Operator.java[104]

But there are other similar cases outside of POS, look for "0.00"...

Hi Jacques,

I think it should be irrelevant whether a BigDecimal is initialized as 0, 0.00 or 0.0000000 because all number should be rounded if needed before being presented in the UI anyway. Assuming that it was currency that your Client wanted 1 decimal place for, wasn't the number going through some sort of currency formatting before being presented?

Hi,

I notice that we have number of "0.00" strings harcoded. I think we should introduce a parameter for that in Arithmetic properties
Something like default.decimals.string="0.00"
A client of mine (POS) wanted to use only 1 decimal and I had to harcode them, I'd like to generalize.

What do you think ?

Jacques
