• Multiple currency support
Ability to store and use calculations involving multiple currencies within a form or view.
The currency indicator is stored with the field so that it remains consistent and doesn't
change based on the user's local computer system preferences. Developers can more
easily create applications that involve calculation and display of different currencies.
Users can immediately understand the currency being used by the symbol and no longer
need to do mental calculations to determine whether financial figures are correct.
• Euro support
Full euro support including euro symbol input and display and rounding. Developers can
easily create applications that use the new euro currency. Users can immediately view
financial figures calculated into euros without doing mental or manual calculations.
Combined with the multiple currency support feature listed above, developers have all the
tools they need to develop truly global applications.
• Long dates
Ability to specify a long-date format in a date field: for example, 01-January-2000.
Developers can use long-date format to remove the ambiguity between the MM/DD/YY
and DD/MM/YY date formats.
