Specifying an Exponent for Floating Point Numbers
The way a floating point number is formatted depends on whether an exponent is specified. The mantissa is adapted to this exponent by shifting the decimal point and inserting zeros. Using an exponent value of 0 means that the exponent representation is not used for displaying the symbol.
&symbol(Exponent)&
If you specify an exponent of 0, then the number is displayed without using exponent representation. This has the same effect as completely omitting the specification of an exponent: &symbol(E0)& has the same effect as &symbol(E)&.
In this example, the PLMK-SOLLWERT field is assumed to have the value 123456.78 and to be of data type FLTP.
&PLMK-SOLLWERT& -> +1.23456780000000E+05
&PLMK-SOLLWERT(E3)& -> +123.456780000000E+03
&PLMK-SOLLWERT(E6)& -> +0.12345678000000E+06
&PLMK-SOLLWERT(E0)& -> +123456,780000000
&PLMK-SOLLWERT(E)& -> +123456,780000000
