SET FIXED
SET FIXED determines whether a fixed number of decimal places are
displayed for all numeric output.
Syntax

Option
On: When FIXED is ON, display of all numeric output is controlled
by the DECIMALS SETting (two places if the SET DECIMALS default value
is in effect).
Off: When FIXED is OFF, display of numeric output is dependent on
the type of operation performed and according to the following rules:
Numeric Decimal Display When FIXED is OFF
Operation Decimal Digits Displayed
Addition/Subtraction Same as operand with the greatest
number of decimal digits
Multiplication Sum of operand decimal digits
Division SET DECIMALS
Exponentation SET DECIMALS
