The following table shows which percent codes are valid for each data type. If a cell contains X, the format is invalid for that data type. If the cell contains , setting the format of a double-precision, floating-point data type to absolute time is valid, but when you change the double-precision, floating-point data type to a long signed integer data type, the format changes to decimal format.
