Syntax:
NUMERIC DIGITS n NUMERIC FORM keyword
Affects operations on objects of type Rexx only; DIGITS sets arithmetic precision; FORM sets the format of exponential notation to 'scientific' or 'engineering'.
NUMERIC may appear as a dynamically executed instruction in a method. It may also appear before the first method in a class, in which case it forms the default setting for the initialization of subsequent properties in the class and for all methods in the class.
NUMERIC cannot be used if OPTIONS BINARY is in effect.
