| Purpose | This element is used for specifying information about the total number of digits of a numeric data field (in values of datatypes derived from decimal). It indicates the maximum allowed value for the number of digits. For additional details, see the section Defining Simple Types of the Tamino XML Schema User Guide and references therein. |

The following example demonstrates the use of the
xs:totalDigits element within a simple type definition by
restriction. A simple type based on the decimal type is defined which can store
decimal numbers with up to 6 digits:
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base='xs:decimal'>
<xs:totalDigits value='6'/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
