| Contents | Integer, current PRECISION. | ||
| Description | This system variable contains a numeric value (integer) that indicates the current PRECISION in effect (except in scientific notation). This value will be in the range: -1 to 14. The default is 2 (two digits to the right of the decimal point). If the mode is FLOATINGPOINT, then the value returned is in scientific notation. Either a PRECISION -1 statement or a FLOATINGPOINT directive will activate scientific notation. The PRECISION directive cancels it. |
