patternfalsetruejava.lang.String When dealing with numeric or date/time values, you could use the Java API to format the output of the text field expressions yourself using the format attribute. But there is a more convenient way to do it: by using the pattern attribute. The value you should supply to this attribute is the same that you would supply if it were for you to format the value using either the java.text.DecimalFormat class or java.text.SimpleDateFormat class, depending on the type of value to format. In fact, what the engine does is to instantiate the java.text.DecimalFormat class if the text field expression returns subclasses of the java.lang.Number class or to instantiate the java.text.SimpleDataFormat if the text field expression return java.util.Date or java.sql.Timestamp objects. For more detail about the syntax of this pattern attribute, check the Java API documentation for those two classes: java.text.DecimalFormat and java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
