Parsing they are equivalent I think.
Unparsing they're very different. The 0 pattern char always contributes a digit. It will create leading and trailing 0. The # pattern char contributes a digit unless that digit would be a leading (or trailing) zero. ________________________________ From: Costello, Roger L. <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2019 1:56:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: What is the difference between dfdl:textNumberPattern="0,000" and dfdl:textNumberPattern="#,###" Hello DFDL community, It appears from Table 32 in the DFDL specification that # and 0 denote the same thing; namely they both denote a digit (0 – 9). Yes? If so, is there any difference between these: dfdl:textNumberPattern="0,000" dfdl:textNumberPattern="#,###" /Roger
