Format and Keepformat Clause for the Add Attribute Command
These clauses are mutually exclusive. When adding a numeric attribute defined with type real or integer, use
keepformat
to store the values as entered (not normalized); use
format
to define a specific format for the numeric value.
To retrieve the value, use the
inputvalue
selectable to retrieve the formatted or as-entered value. Use the
value
selectable to retrieve the normalized value (or simply
attribute[x]
).
