I am working with HL7 messages in Sweden locale, but in Sweden they use comma as decimal separator. When Hl7 message will come to my system from Sweden locale will the field with 'NM' (Numeric) data type support comma as decimal?
For example- If the value for one of the field of NM data type is 12.5 if it will come from Sweden region, How will I receive that value in HL7 message, as 12.5 or 12,5 ?
According hl7.eu
Definition: 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.

I have a primary key in my table as NUMBER and it was populated using the following:
to_number(sys_guid(),'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
Now how can I query the table?
Using
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE ID = 2.68819609716248E38
does not return any results
OK, so you had a raw value which you converted to number. Now you need to reverse the process.
First convert the saved number back to a string. Then apply hextoraw. When you convert from number to string, you must use a format model to request hex representation. Then you must use the fm format model modifier, and use 0 as the first digit to make sure the string keeps leading zeros; the fm modifier is needed so you don't get a space (placeholder for sign) as the first character.
Alternatively, you could compare directly to a fixed number, but the number must make sense. You show something like 2.68199...E38 as your input. Where is that coming from? Obviously not from converting a raw value to number (like you did with the sys_guid values). The value should be a 38-digit integer, with 38 significant digits; your value has only 15 significant digits, so the rest are filled with zeros. Obviously that will not match any saved values.
using eloquent is it possible to save a numeric value like 012345 with the leading 0 or is the only possibility to store the value as string?
To provide more details: I'd like to store a zip-code, which can have a leading 0 in Germany. There's no possibility to always add the 0, because not all zips start with 0
Numeric datatypes do not retain leading zeros, as they are insignificant to the number you want to store. Char or Varchar is more appropriate. You could set a constraint to ensure only numeric characters are stored.
If you absolutely cannot change the data type, then another alternative is to store the number of leading zeros into another int field
So in your example you would store:
Value : 32
Leading zeros : 2

012345 is not a number. It's a string. 12345 is the number. SQL Server is able to recognize that those extra zeros are not needed to define the number, so it ignores them. If you want to dispaly a value as 012345 to the application, I'd suggest doing the formatting on the application side. That way the number stored in SQL Server is still a number if you want do addition, aggregation, or other calculations. If you really have to store it as 012345, you need to convert it to a character field; char, varchar, nvarchar, nchar.
For Details
Is there a character in the text field data validation rules for Access 2007 that will only accept numbers but the last numeric entry is optional? E.g. For numeric fields, 000.0009 forces a value to the third decimal but not necessarily to the fourth decimal. How can I represent this in a text field? Right now I am using ###.###* as my validation rule, but it isn’t exactly what I want.
Need the field as text because data has to be stored with trailing zeroes.
I'm developing Sage Pay Server protocol (3.00).
I noticed that in the Integration guideline manual the Amount field must be in UK currency format ("," to separate groups of thousands and "." to indicate the decimal place).
Do I have to use the same format for all numeric values in the Basket? (Quantity, Item value, Item Tax, Item Total, Line Total and number of lines of detail in the basket)
Thank you very much for your help and cooperation

I have a pivot collection that has a numeric facet, however when the value is being displayed it keeps rounding to the nearest whole number.
Is there a way in which I can show the full number with the decimal places?
I am assuming that you are talking in CXML? If so, there is a Format attribute you can set on the facet category. It only works for DateTime and Numeric, but that will work in your case. The accepted format strings are .NET format strings.
