The NBR type is used for fields that contain purely numeric data values. By default, NBR fields are for integers.

Numeric fields with characteristics such as VAL, QTY, PCT, PRC, should use these field types since they provide a more precise specification. The NBR type can be regarded as a catch-all for numeric data fields that are not covered by other types.

Examples of NBR fields include:

Note: When prompting on numeric fields, the ? cannot be used. The prompt function key (F4) allows prompting. The YCUAPMT model value must be set to Y to enable F4 for prompting.

See the YCHGMDLVAL command in CA 2E Command Reference Guide for more information on changing model values.
