I'm afraid it's not. 1.23450002E-06 has nine significant digits. That's how it should be. We don't want 1PG16.9E2 editing for list-directed and G0, but G16.9E2 for the F editing range and 1PE16.8E2 editing for the E range. This is to make sure the result always has nine significant digits, whether in the F or E range.
