Description Pawel Piech CLA 2009-03-17 17:25:10 EDT 
PDA supports the string format.  In the string format, the variable value is usually the same as the selected format (e.g. default, decimal, etc.).  The result is that the variable view shows the value twice, which does not look correct.  PDA should only return a string format for elements where it makes sense, such as a structure.

Additionally, this exposes a general problem with the say that the variables view formats the value column.  Does it make sense to append the string formatted value, when the selected format is natural?
