# decimalPoint attribute syntax

Use the following syntax to specify the decimalPoint attribute:

`decimalPoint="enumeration"`

where enumeration is one of: implicit | fixedPosition

- implicit if the operator manually enters the decimal point and you want the decimal point to be used when the value is sent to the Value control.
- fixedPosition if the values to enter in the numeric pop-up scratchpad or keypad always have the same number of digits after the decimal point. If you select this type of decimal point, specify a value for the digitsAfterDecimalPoint attribute. The decimal point is stripped when the value is sent to the Value control.
