SET DECIMALS


Syntax:     SET DECIMALS TO <expN>

Purpose:    To set the number of decimal places displayed for the
            results of numeric functions and calculations.

Argument:   <expN> is the number of decimal places to display.

Usage:      The operation of SET DECIMALS depends on the FIXED SETting.
            If FIXED is OFF, then only the displayed results of SQRT(),
            EXP(), LOG(), and division are affected by SET DECIMALS.  If
            FIXED is ON, then any numeric value, when displayed, is
            affected by SET DECIMALS.  Note that neither SET DECIMALS
            nor SET FIXED affects the actual numeric precision of
            calculations--only the display format is affected.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
