I'd like to format fixed point decimal (packed, in other words) numbers in a common subroutine that would be passed the precision and scaling. Can printf() and friends take '*' and then a passed integer for its (n,p) values - analogous to the way printf() width and precision may be specified?
My initial experiment failed but I'd like a clue whether it's mission impossible or fat fingers. In any event, I think the documentation of the D(n,p) specifier is woefully inadequate. I'll submit an RCF in any event.
