hi, i am migrating to adt file format, i see an blog of RF about this, but this page is deleted, my doubt is about numeric field type, adt files dont support this type, i should use another? thanks

Now version 8.1 supports numeric field type like in dbf.

Even earlier, we could use integer or double or money formats as it fits our needs. Money format does not lose precision in mathematical computations like SUM(..) even on very large tables. So no worries about getting occassional rounding errors. Even the present compatible numeric field is said to be so.

It is always a better world with ADT than DBF.
