Limit float value to 6 fractions

[carver]

Hi

I'm using a MF-variable in an numeric field. Since this field is narrow, I would like to limit the number of fractions to 6.

Any idea? Thanks for helping me.

Regards

Hello Peter,

 

Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the viewing format of floats.

 

However, you can split the float into two parts: the whole part and fractional part.  This can be done through the function block under the Math tab, in the Floats section, Convert, and the INV(A+B/n) function block.

 

Then, on screen, you can format the MI, ML, or DW that you put the fractional part on screen and format it such that only 'x' amount of digits are shown.

 

Hope this helps.
