Examples of fixed data formats:
One Standard format is available for each data type, see table:
The following applies to the representation of REAL numbers: Due to internal
representation constraints, conversion of real numbers to displayable values cannot be
made to more than 7 significant digits. Because of this fact, in the standard format, the
number of decimal places is adjusted as a function of the numeric value. Very large and
very small values are displayed in exponential notation.
