Specifiers
for
Numeric
Fields:
# Print the same number of digit positions
as
number
signs (
#
).
If
the number to
be
printed has fewer
digits than positions specified, the number is
right-justified (preceded by spaces). Numbers are
rounded
as
necessary. You may insert a decimal
point
at
any position.
In
that case, the digits
preceding the decimal point are always printed (as
zero, if necessary).
If
the number to
be
printed
is
larger than the
specified numeric field, a percent sign ( % )
is
printed
in
front of the number.
If
rounding the number
exceeds the field, a percent sign
is
also printed
in
front
of
the rounded number.
