When you create a numeric field, the Binding tab presents data binding options that you can apply to the object. Options that are not specifically related to creating a data connection apply both to data bound to a data source and data saved to a file when the object is not bound to a data source.

•
Disables data binding. Because the object will not capture or display merged data, any information associated with the object is not written as output when the form data is saved/submitted.
  
•
A three-part representation of a number that contains a radix character. The number is represented by the following parts: a sign, a number, and a radix character. Some examples of floating point numbers are 4.23423412, 1234.1234234, or 4.00. Note that in some locales, the radix character is not a decimal point. For example, in a German (Germany) locale, the radix character is a comma (as in 1234,1234).
•
Any sequence of the digits 0 through 9 possibly preceded by a minus sign. For example, the number may be a positive (such as 1, 2, or 3), a zero, or a negative whole number (such as -1, -2, or -3).
