FLTPCN (Floating-Point Precision) Keyword in Printer Files

Use this keyword to specify the precision of a floating-point field.

The format of the keyword is:

FLTPCN(*SINGLE | *DOUBLE)

The *SINGLE parameter specifies single precision and the *DOUBLE parameter specifies double precision. This keyword is valid for floating-point fields only (data type F).

A single-precision field can be up to 9 digits; a double-precision field can be up to 17 digits. If you specify a field length greater than 9 (single precision) or 17 (double precision), an error message is issued and the file is not created.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.
