The code is done LOL. Nope, no options. What you get is what you get. Customers are happy with it. I now have a need to be able to turn it OFF (not customer unhappiness; machine parsing: machines are happier with 7867543225 than with 7.86G). So now I need a name for it and for its negation.

This reminds me of G format in ForTran, although that accepts only reals. But I don't recall if they had a special name for it. > And yes, I am doing it "with my own code" -- there is no built-in > support in the language I am using (C++). It may be easier to write the code than to arrive at a name for it <g>. And you never mentioned whether you want truncation, rounding, banker's rounding, or ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
