SET FIXED
Toggle fixing of the number of decimal digits displayed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SET FIXED on | OFF | <xlToggle>
Arguments
ON fixes the decimal places display at the number of digits
specified by SET DECIMALS.
OFF allows the operation or function to determine the number of
decimal places to display.
<xlToggle> is a logical expression that must be enclosed in
parentheses. A value of true (.T.) is the same as ON, and a value of
false (.F.) is the same as OFF.
Description
SET FIXED toggles control of the display of decimal digits by the
current DECIMALS setting. When FIXED is ON, display of all numeric
output is fixed at the DECIMALS setting (two places if the SET DECIMALS
default value is in effect). When FIXED is OFF, numeric output displays
according to the default rules for numeric display. These are described
in the "Basic Concepts" chapter of the Programming and Utilities Guide.
Note that SET FIXED and SET DECIMALS affect only the display format of
numeric values and not the actual numeric precision of calculations.
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
