This question has nothing to do with mainframes (other than that I am trying to name an option for a mainframe program) but I know there are some ultra-precise word jockeys here.
What is the correct term for K, M or G type notation? If I had integers 1234 and 4560000, what would you call it if they were formatted as "1.234K" and "4.56M"? OTOH, what would be the contrasting term for "normal" notation: "1234" and "4560000"? What would you call a program option to do things one way or the other? I want ______ notation output or ______ notation output. It's effectively a kind of floating point notation, but is there a more precise term?
