      cont>   DATATYPE IS LONGWORD
      cont>   EDIT_STRING IS 9999.99
      cont>   INPUT_EDIT_STRING IS 9999.99
      cont>   DISPLAY_SCALE -2.

      In this example, the DEFINE FIELD command creates the AMOUNT
      field element with a decimal point shifted two places to the
      left.

      In this example, the NODISPLAY_SCALE keyword removes the
      DISPLAY_SCALE property from the AMOUNT field element.
