## ŒPP Print Precision

The system variable ŒPP contains the number of digits after the point in the default display of numeric values. The default is 10. ŒPP can be changed by assignment to a value from 1 to 15. Assigning a larger value will cause the maximum allowed value (15) to be set.

Note: By default, numbers which are represented internally as integers, or which are floating-point numbers which could be repesented internally as exact integers, are displayed in full precision irrespective of ŒPP. In 32-bit versions of APLX, this applies to all whole numbers whose magnitude is less than 2*31.

In 64-bit versions of APLX, it applies to any number represented internally as an integer, and to any number which is held in floating-point representation and which is exactly equal to an integer of magnitude less than 2*53.
