In developing a requirements document that involves making specifications for some rather large databases,
how would I describe a number that has the following characteristics:
+/- number with decimals to 13
Would it be, for example: Decimal (13,0) ?
Since you are developing a requirements document and not a technical specification, you should try to be as clear and unambiguous as possible so use common language rather than conventions that maybe only understood by few people.
I would not use: Decimal (13,0).
I'm not sure exactly what your requirement is but I would say something like: The system shall support loan amounts no greater than $999,999 and should have no decimals.
Hope this helps! - Adrian
