setMaximumIntegerDigits(int) specs unclear about range of input parameter

Name: dfC67450 Date: 09/01/98



Javadoc says nothing about range of MaximumIntegerDigits value.
This range changes from version to version.

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.text.*;

public class Test {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance();
    nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(1000);
    nf.getMaximumIntegerDigits();
    System.out.println("getMaximumIntegerDigits: " +
                          nf.getMaximumIntegerDigits());
  }
    
}
---------Output from the test (jdk1.2-fcs-H) ---------------------
getMaximumIntegerDigits: 309
---------Output from the test (jdk1.2-fcs-G) ---------------------
getMaximumIntegerDigits: 308
---------Output from the test (jdk1.1.6) ---------------------
getMaximumIntegerDigits: 52
-------------------------------------------------
