Numbers … big, small, very big, very small …  No matter their size, it’s always better if they’re easy to read. In most countries and languages, separator characters are usually used to separate thousands (or tens of thousands) and there is always a character to distinguish the decimal part from the rest of the number.

Do you want to avoid users accidentally modifying a particular 4D Write Pro document (fully or partially)?
