A property is needed to specify if implicit decimals are used or not.

JoachimWackerow commented 10 years ago

A property for indicating if implicit decimals are used or not can make sense. This would make sense as well as for DelimitedColumnDescription. Therefore it should stay then in the super class ColumnDescription.

On the other hand, there is already the property decimalPositions in the class ColumnDescription which can hold the number of decimal places for data values with an implied decimal separator. It could be used as an indicator for the mentioned purpose, like: if is is mentioned and has a value greater than 0.
