Description

TBCDField is the class used when a dataset must manage data of Binary Coded Decimal type. (TField.DataType equals ftBCD). It initializes some of the properties of the TField class, and overrides some of its methods to be able to work with BCD fields.

TBCDField assumes that the field's contents can be stored in a currency type, i.e. the maximum number of decimals after the decimal separator that can be stored in a TBCDField is 4. Fields that need to store a larger amount of decimals should be represented by a TFMTBCDField instance.

It should never be necessary to create an instance of TBCDField manually, a field of this class will be instantiated automatically for each BCD field when a dataset is opened.
