All Implemented Interfaces:

IDataType

public class NM
extends PrimitiveDataType

NM - Numeric

This data type specifies a number represented as a series of ASCII numeric characters consisting of an optional * leading sign (+ or -), the digits and an optional decimal point. In the absence of a sign, the number is assumed to be positive. If there is no decimal point the number is assumed to be an integer.

This class provides accessors & mutators for the elements mentioned above. This class override the equal method, to check whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

User can also create Data Type through DataElementFactory
