Working With Numeric Data in Recital
Certain set commands change the display format of numeric data:
- set decimals - specify the number of decimal places to be displayed
set decimals to <places as numeric>
- set fixed - determine whether the number of decimal places displayed is fixed
set fixed on | off
- set point - specify the character to be used as the decimal point
set point to [<point as character>]
- set separator - specify the character to be used to mark thousands
set separator to [<separator as character>]
