The following characters are possible in the presentation mask: •G: the grouping character (in Europe this is a point ‘.’). •D: the decimal character (in Europe this is a comma ‘,’). •9: the number at this position before or after the comma, in case before the number at least one other number is placed other than 0. •0: the number at this position before or after the comma.
