Name Name of the new format
Format Desired formatting. Use the letter f, for example ff.ffff for two places in
front of the decimal point and four places after the decimal point.
'-' serves as a wild card for negative numbers, and a display with a
leading sign is indicated by '+'.
O
K Adds the new format to the existing format list.
Examples of fixed data formats:
One Standard format is available for each data type, see table:
The following applies to the representation of REAL numbers: Due to internal
representation constraints, conversion of real numbers to displayable values cannot be
made to more than 7 significant digits. Because of this fact, in the standard format, the
number of decimal places is adjusted as a function of the numeric value. Very large and
very small values are displayed in exponential notation.
