Winfred, in occasions it also depends on the control where you capture the value.

check the inputmask property.

check the precision, and the number of decimals(in some controls), for example,

In manage the grids with cursors.

I have a field in my table:
Field_aaa N(6,2)

The field in my cursor should be:
Field_aaa N(9,2)

the 9 is the sum of the 6 (Field) + 1 (dot) + 2 (number of decimal precision)
