Kevin:

Welcome the group.

I don't think you can get exactly what you are looking for.  The closest
would be the T3.4 format.  (Question #9 in your machine (smf) file).  You
will not get a decimal but you will get trailing zeros.  You can cut it down
to T3.3 which will give you only 3 decimal places if you can get away with
that. 

The following is from the code generator section in the on-line manual:

Format Expression:
D3.4 10.75
T3.4 107500
L3.4 01075
F3.4 0107500
P3.4 10.7500
E3.4 010.7500
