Create an XSD optional decimal element with restrictions
13,147
Thanks to Kevin's suggestion I've come up with this which does the trick:
<xs:simpleType name="Decimal10-2">
<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal">
<xs:maxInclusive value="9999999999"/>
<xs:fractionDigits value="2"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="OptionalDecimal10-2">
<xs:union memberTypes="Decimal10-2 empty-string" />
</xs:simpleType>

I've managed to create an optional decimal element using this:
<xs:simpleType name="OptionalDecimal"> <xs:union memberTypes="xs:decimal empty-string" /> </xs:simpleType>
but I also need to add restrictions so that if it has been entered, to limit it to a maximum length of 10 and maximum number of 3 decimal places for example. So I've got this:
<xs:restriction base="xs:decimal"> <xs:maxInclusive value="9999999999"/> <xs:fractionDigits value="3"/> </xs:restriction>
The problem is I don't know how to combine them. Can they be combined? Or is there a better way of doing this?
