Hi Friends,
I am using a Number field which stored Floating point values...
For example:
Field Name: Salary
Field Data Type: Number
Field Size: Decimal
Decimal place: 2

I need to get the data type of this field as Floating point or else as
Decimal programmatically(in C or C++)...
How could we achieve this...

Thanks in Advance,
ArunDhaJ
