SET FIXED

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

Syntax

    SET FIXED on/OFF/(<expL>)

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
    EXP(), LOG(), SQRT()          SET DECIMALS
    VAL()                         Same as operand
