Parameters

newValue
Type: real
The new value; optional.

Return Value

Type: real
The current value.

Remarks

If you pass in a value that has a different data type than the object, the data type of the object will be changed to match the data type of the value.

A COMVariant object has a decimal type if its data type is set to COMVariantType::VT_DECIMAL.

The decimal data type is a COM data type that provides size and scale for a number. There is no parallel to the decimal data type in X++.

Examples

The following example creates a new COMVariant object of type VT_DECIMAL and sets the value to 123.456.

{ 
    COMVariant var = new COMVariant( 
        COMVariantInOut::IN_OUT,  
        COMVariantType::VT_DECIMAL); 
  
    // Set value of the object 
    var.decimal(123.456); 
}
