4.6 Amounts, charges, percentages

When decimal mark and minus sign are used, each takes one character position. This is not included in the specification of number of characters for representation of data element values and must be taken into consideration in data processing and printing.

The position of decimal marks in numeric values is not specified and may be between any of the figures in the amount as required. Systems sometimes require a more specific approach and, to assist designers who prefer to specify the decimal position, the following table may serve as a guidance.
