When a boolean can also be represented as a numeric value - False is equal to 0, True is equal to 1.

TIP

If a field within a DB Definition is specified as Boolean then it may require a display format for it to be correctly saved to the database. This is because the database represents the boolean as a numeric. Use the display format 1;0 to convert the boolean to a numeric when saving to the database.

TIP

If a field within a File Definition is specified as a Boolean then it may require a display format for it to be correctly saved to the file. You can use display formats such as 1;0 or True;False or TRUE;FALSE
