Returns the number of decimals within a declared field or constant.

Parameters:

Declared field or constant

Example:

pjs.define("testnum", { type: 'packed decimal', length: 7, decimals: 3 });
pjs.define("result", { type: 'integer', length: 5, decimals: 0 });

testnum = 236.56;
result = pjs.decimalPositions(testnum);  // result is 3; testnum is strongly typed with 3 decimal positions
 
result = pjs.decimalPositions(236.53);  // result is 2
 
var x = 236.56;
result = pjs.decimalPositions(x);  // result is 2; x is loosely typed
